Psalms 6

Psalm 6
For the music leader. On stringed instruments. According to the eighth.#6.0 Perhaps a reference to an eight-string instrument; also in Ps 12 A psalm of David.
1Please, LORD,
don’t punish me when you are angry;
don’t discipline me when you are furious.
2Have mercy on me, LORD,
because I’m frail.
Heal me, LORD,
because my bones are shaking in terror!
3My whole body#6.3 Or soul; also in 6:4 is completely terrified!
But you, LORD! How long will this last?
4Come back to me, LORD! Deliver me!
Save me for the sake of your faithful love!
5No one is going to praise you
when they are dead.
Who gives you thanks
from the grave?#6.5 Heb Sheol
6I’m worn out from groaning.
Every night, I drench my bed with tears;
I soak my couch all the way through.
7My vision fails because of my grief;
it’s weak because of all my distress.
8Get away from me, all you evildoers,
because the LORD has heard me crying!
9The LORD has listened to my request.
The LORD accepts my prayer.
10All my enemies will be ashamed
and completely terrified;
they will be defeated
and ashamed instantly.

Psalm 6
6
O Lord, Deliver My Life
To the choirmaster: with stringed instruments; according to #1 Chr. 15:21The Sheminith.#6:1 Probably a musical or liturgical term A Psalm of David.
1O Lord, #Ps. 38:1 rebuke me not in your anger,
nor #[Ps. 94:12; 118:18; Prov. 3:11, 12; Jer. 30:11; 46:28]; See Heb. 12:3-11discipline me in your wrath.
2Be gracious to me, O Lord, for I am languishing;
#
Ps. 30:2; 41:4; 103:3 heal me, O Lord, #See Ps. 31:10for my bones are troubled.
3My #[John 12:27] soul also is greatly troubled.
But you, O Lord—#Ps. 90:13how long?
4Turn, O Lord, deliver my life;
save me for the sake of your steadfast love.
5For in #Ps. 30:9; 88:10-12; 115:17; Isa. 38:18death there is no remembrance of you;
in Sheol who will give you praise?
6I am #Ps. 69:3 weary with my #Ps. 38:9moaning;
every night I flood my bed with tears;
I drench my couch with my weeping.
7My #Ps. 31:9; 88:9; [Ps. 38:10; Job 17:7; Lam. 2:11; 5:17]eye wastes away because of grief;
it grows weak because of all my foes.
8 #
Ps. 119:115; 139:19; Matt. 7:23; 25:41; Luke 13:27 Depart from me, all you #Ps. 94:4 workers of evil,
for the Lord #[Ps. 3:4]has heard the sound of my weeping.
9The Lord has heard my #Ps. 55:1; 1 Kgs. 8:38plea;
the Lord accepts my prayer.
10All my enemies shall be ashamed and greatly troubled;
they shall #Ps. 40:14; 56:9turn back and be put to shame in a moment.
