Psalms 6

Prayer for mercy in time of trouble.

For the Chief Musician; on stringed instruments, set to Or, the eighth the Sheminith. A Psalm of David.

¹Yahweh, don`t rebuke me in your anger, Neither discipline me in your wrath.

²Have mercy on me, Yahweh, for I am faint. Yahweh, heal me, for my bones are troubled.

³My soul is also in great anguish. But you, Yahweh -- how long?

⁴Return, Yahweh. Deliver my soul, And save me for your lovingkindness` sake.

⁵For in death there is no memory of you. In Sheol, who shall give you thanks?

⁶I am weary with my groaning; Every night I flood my bed; I drench my couch with my tears.

⁷My eye wastes away because of grief; It grows old because of all my adversaries.

⁸Depart from me, all you workers of iniquity, For Yahweh has heard the voice of my weeping.

⁹Yahweh has heard my supplication. Yahweh will receive my prayer.

¹⁰May all my enemies be ashamed and dismayed. They shall turn back, they shall be disgraced suddenly.
