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, set to the Sheminith. A Psalm of David.
1O LORD, rebuke me not in thine anger,
Neither chasten me in thy hot displeasure.
2Have mercy upon me, O LORD; for I am withered away:
O LORD, heal me; for my bones are vexed.
3My soul also is sore vexed:
And thou, O LORD, how long?
4Return, O LORD, deliver my soul:
Save me for thy lovingkindness' sake.
5For in death there is no remembrance of thee:
In Sheol who shall give thee thanks?
6I am weary with my groaning;
Every night make I my bed to swim;
I water my couch with my tears.
7Mine eye wasteth away because of grief;
It waxeth old because of all mine adversaries.
8Depart from me, all ye workers of iniquity;
For the LORD hath heard the voice of my weeping.
9The LORD hath heard my supplication;
The LORD will receive my prayer.
10All mine enemies shall be ashamed and sore vexed:
They shall turn back, they shall be ashamed suddenly.
