Psalm 6
For the choir director; with stringed instruments, on the sheminith; #6:0 Unknown musical term. a psalm by David.
1O Lord, do not punish me in your anger
or discipline me in your rage.
2Have pity on me, O Lord, because I am weak.
Heal me, O Lord, because my bones shake with terror.
3My soul has been deeply shaken with terror.
But you, O Lord, how long … ?
4Come back, O Lord.
Rescue me.
Save me because of your mercy!
5In death, no one remembers you.
In the grave, who praises you?
6I am worn out from my groaning.
My eyes flood my bed every night.
I soak my couch with tears.
7My eyes blur from grief.
They fail because of my enemies.
8Get away from me, all you troublemakers,
because the Lord has heard the sound of my crying.
9The Lord has heard my plea for mercy.
The Lord accepts my prayer.
10All my enemies will be put to shame and deeply shaken with terror.
In a moment they will retreat and be put to shame.

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