Psalms 6
6
To the Overseer with stringed instruments, on the octave. — A Psalm of David.
1O Jehovah, in Thine anger reprove me not, Nor in Thy fury chastise me.
2Favour me, O Jehovah, for I [am] weak, Heal me, O Jehovah, For troubled have been my bones,
3And my soul hath been troubled greatly, And Thou, O Jehovah, till when?
4Turn back, O Jehovah, draw out my soul, Save me for Thy kindness' sake.
5For there is not in death Thy memorial, In Sheol, who doth give thanks to Thee?
6I have been weary with my sighing, I meditate through all the night [on] my bed, With my tear my couch I waste.
7Old from provocation is mine eye, It is old because of all mine adversaries,
8Turn from me all ye workers of iniquity, For Jehovah heard the voice of my weeping,
9 Jehovah hath heard my supplication, Jehovah my prayer receiveth.
10Ashamed and troubled greatly are all mine enemies, They turn back — ashamed [in] a moment!

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.
