Psalms 6

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

1 Jehovah, rebuke me not in thine anger, and chasten me not in thy hot displeasure.

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

2 Be gracious unto me, Jehovah, for I am withered; Jehovah, heal me, for my bones tremble.

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

3 And my soul trembleth exceedingly: and thou, Jehovah, till how long?

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

4 Return, Jehovah, free my soul; save me for thy loving-kindness' sake.

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

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

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

6 I am wearied with my groaning; all the night make I my bed to swim; I dissolve my couch with my tears.

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

7 Mine eye wasteth away through grief; it hath grown old because of all mine oppressors.

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

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

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

9 Jehovah hath heard my supplication; Jehovah receiveth my prayer.

10The Lord hath heard my supplication: the Lord hath received my prayer.

10 All mine enemies shall be ashamed and tremble exceedingly; they will turn, they will be ashamed suddenly.

11Let all my enemies be ashamed, and be very much troubled: let them be turned back, and be ashamed very speedily.
