Psalms 6
6
For the Chief Musician; on stringed instruments, upon the eight-stringed lyre. A Psalm by David.
1Yahweh, don’t rebuke me in your anger,
neither discipline me in your wrath.
2Have mercy on me, Yahweh, for I am faint.
Yahweh, heal me, for my bones are troubled.
3My soul is also in great anguish.
But you, Yahweh—how long?
4Return, Yahweh. Deliver my soul,
and save me for your loving kindness’ sake.
5For in death there is no memory of you.
In Sheol,#6:5 Sheol is the place of the dead. who shall give you thanks?
6I am weary with my groaning.
Every night I flood my bed.
I drench my couch with my tears.
7My eye wastes away because of grief.
It grows old because of all my adversaries.
8Depart from me, all you workers of iniquity,
for Yahweh has heard the voice of my weeping.
9Yahweh has heard my supplication.
Yahweh accepts my prayer.
10May all my enemies be ashamed and dismayed.
They shall turn back, they shall be disgraced suddenly.

Psalms 6
6
PSALM 6.
1Unto the end, in verses, a psalm for David, for the octave.
2O Lord, rebuke me not in thy indignation, nor chastise me in thy wrath.
3Have mercy on me, O Lord, for I am weak: heal me, O Lord, for my bones are troubled.
4And my soul is troubled exceedingly: but thou, O Lord, how long?
5Turn to me, O Lord, and deliver my soul: O save me for thy mercy's sake.
6For there is no one in death, that is mindful of thee: and who shall confess to thee in hell?
7I have laboured in my groanings, every night I will wash my bed: I will water my couch with my tears.
8My eye is troubled through indignation: I have grown old amongst all my enemies.
9Depart from me, all ye workers of iniquity: for the Lord hath heard the voice of my weeping.
10The Lord hath heard my supplication: the Lord hath received my prayer.
11Let all my enemies be ashamed and be very much troubled: let them be turned back and be ashamed very speedily.
