Psalms 6
1 Yahweh, do not punish me when you are angry [with me]; Do not even rebuke/scold me [when you are angry].
Adonai, don’t rebuke me in your anger, neither discipline me in your wrath.
2 Yahweh, be kind to me and heal me because I have become weak. My body [SYN] shakes because I am experiencing much pain.
Have mercy on me, Adonai, for I am faint. Adonai, heal me, for my bones are troubled.
3 Yahweh, I am greatly distressed. How long ([must I endure this/will it be before you help me]) [RHQ]?
My soul is also in great anguish. But you, Adonai, how long?
4 Yahweh, please come and rescue me. Save me because you faithfully love me.
Teshuvah ·Completely return·, Adonai. Deliver my soul, and save me for your cheshed ·loving-kindness’· sake.
5 I will not be able to praise you after I die [RHQ]; No one in the place of the dead praises you. (Sheol h7585)
For in death there is no memory of you. In Sheol ·Place of the dead·, who shall yadah ·extend hands in thankful praise· to you? (Sheol h7585)
6 I am exhausted/groan [from my pain]. At night I cry very much, with the result that my bed and my pillow become wet from my tears.
I am weary with my groaning. Every night I flood my bed. I drench my couch with my tears.
7 My tears blur my eyes so much that I cannot see well. My eyes have become weak because my enemies [have caused me to cry constantly].
My eye wastes away because of grief. It grows old because of all my adversaries.
8 You people who do evil things, get away from me!
Depart from me, all you workers of iniquity, for Adonai has sh'ma ·heard obeyed· the voice of my weeping.
9 Yahweh heard me when I was crying and called out to him [to help me], and he will answer my prayer.
Adonai has sh'ma ·heard obeyed· my supplication. Adonai accepts my prayer.
10 [When that happens], all my enemies will be ashamed, and they will [also] be terrified. They will get away [from me] and suddenly [leave me] because they will be disgraced.
May all my enemies be ashamed and dismayed. They shall turn back, they shall be disgraced suddenly.
