Psalms, 6

1. <To the chief Musician on Neginoth upon Sheminith, A Psalm of David.> O LORD, rebuke me not in thine anger, neither chasten me in thy hot displeasure.

1.

2. Have mercy upon me, O LORD; for I [am] weak: O LORD, heal me; for my bones are vexed.

2. O Lord, in your anger do not reprove; nor punish me in your fury.

3. My soul is also sore vexed: but thou, O LORD, how long?

3. Have mercy on me, O Lord, for I have no strength left. O Lord, heal me, for my bones are in torment.

4. Return, O LORD, deliver my soul: oh save me for thy mercies' sake.

4. My soul also is greatly troubled. How long, O Lord, how long? How long will you be?

5. For in death [there is] no remembrance of thee: in the grave who shall give thee thanks?

5. Come back to me, O Lord, save my life; rescue me for the sake of your love.

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

6. For no one remembers you in the grave; who will praise you in the world of the dead?

7. Mine eye is consumed because of grief; it waxeth old because of all mine enemies.

7. I am weary with moaning; I weep every night, drenching my bed with tears.

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

8. My eyes have grown dim from troubles; I have weakened because of my foes.

9. The LORD hath heard my supplication; the LORD will receive my prayer.

9. Away from me, you evildoers, for the Lord has heard my plaintive voice.

10. Let all mine enemies be ashamed and sore vexed: let them return [and] be ashamed suddenly.

10. The Lord has heard my plea; the Lord will grant all that I pray for.

11.

11. Let my enemies fall back in shame, all of a sudden - the whole bunch of them!
