Psalms 6

1 O Lord, do not be bitter with me in your wrath; do not send punishment on me in the heat of your passion.

1O Jehovah, rebuke me not in thine anger, Neither chasten me in thy hot displeasure.

1Unto the end, in verses, a psalm for David, for the octave.

2Have mercy on me, O Lord, for I am wasted away: make me well, for even my bones are troubled.

2Have mercy upon me, O Jehovah; for I am withered away: O Jehovah, heal me; for my bones are troubled.

2O Lord, rebuke me not in thy indignation, nor chastise me in thy wrath.

3My soul is in bitter trouble; and you, O Lord, how long?

3My soul also is sore troubled: And thou, O Jehovah, how long?

3Have mercy on me, O Lord, for I am weak: heal me, O Lord, for my bones are troubled.

4Come back, O Lord, make my soul free; O give me salvation because of your mercy.

4Return, O Jehovah, deliver my soul: Save me for thy lovingkindness’ sake.

4And my soul is troubled exceedingly: but thou, O Lord, how long?

5For in death there is no memory of you; in the underworld who will give you praise?

5For in death there is no remembrance of thee: In Sheol who shall give thee thanks?

5Turn to me, O Lord, and deliver my soul: O save me for thy mercy's sake.

6The voice of my sorrow is a weariness to me; all the night I make my bed wet with weeping; it is watered by the drops flowing from my eyes.

6I am weary with my groaning; Every night make I my bed to swim; I water my couch with my tears.

6For there is no one in death, that is mindful of thee: and who shall confess to thee in hell?

7My eyes are wasting away with trouble; they are becoming old because of all those who are against me.

7Mine eye wasteth away because of grief; It waxeth old because of all mine adversaries.

7I have laboured in my groanings, every night I will wash my bed: I will water my couch with my tears.

8Go from me, all you workers of evil; for the Lord has given ear to the voice of my weeping.

8Depart from me, all ye workers of iniquity; For Jehovah hath heard the voice of my weeping.

8My eye is troubled through indignation: I have grown old amongst all my enemies.

9The Lord has given ear to my request; the Lord has let my prayer come before him.

9Jehovah hath heard my supplication; Jehovah will receive my prayer.

9Depart from me, all ye workers of iniquity: for the Lord hath heard the voice of my weeping.

10Let all those who are against me be shamed and deeply troubled; let them be turned back and suddenly put to shame.

10All mine enemies shall be put to shame and sore troubled: They shall turn back, they shall be put to shame suddenly.

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.
