Psalms 6

1 In parts according to verses. A Psalm of David. For the octave. O Lord, do not rebuke me in your fury, nor chastise me in your anger.

O YHWH, rebuke me not in thine anger, neither chasten me in thy hot displeasure.

2 Have mercy on me, Lord, for I am weak. Heal me, Lord, for my bones have become disturbed,

Have mercy upon me, O YHWH; for I am weak: O YHWH, heal me; for my bones are vexed.

3 and my soul has been very troubled. But as for you, Lord, when?

My soul is also sore vexed: but thou, O YHWH, how long?

4 Turn to me, Lord, and rescue my soul. Save me because of your mercy.

Return, O YHWH, deliver my soul: oh save me for thy mercies' sake.

5 For there is no one in death who would be mindful of you. And who will confess to you in Hell? (Sheol h7585)

For in death there is no remembrance of thee: in the grave who shall give thee thanks? (Sheol h7585)

6 I have labored in my groaning. Every night, with my tears, I will wash my bed and drench my blanket.

I am weary with my groaning; all the night make I my bed to swim; I water my couch with my tears.

7 My eye has been troubled by rage. I have grown old among all my enemies.

Mine eye is consumed because of grief; it waxeth old because of all mine enemies.

8 Scatter before me, all you who work iniquity, for the Lord has heard the voice of my weeping.

Depart from me, all ye workers of iniquity; for YHWH hath heard the voice of my weeping.

9 The Lord has heard my supplication. The Lord has accepted my prayer.

YHWH hath heard my supplication; YHWH will receive my prayer.

10 Let all my enemies be ashamed and together be greatly troubled. May they be converted and become ashamed very quickly.

Let all mine enemies be ashamed and sore vexed: let them return and be ashamed suddenly.
