6:1 For the director of music. With stringed instruments. According to sheminith. A psalm of David. O LORD, do not rebuke me in your anger or discipline me in your wrath.
6:2 Be merciful to me, LORD, for I am faint; O LORD, heal me, for my bones are in agony.
6:3 My soul is in anguish. How long, O LORD, how long?
6:4 Turn, O LORD, and deliver me; save me because of your unfailing love.
6:5 No one remembers you when he is dead. Who praises you from the grave?
6:6 I am worn out from groaning; all night long I flood my bed with weeping and drench my couch with tears.
6:7 My eyes grow weak with sorrow; they fail because of all my foes.
6:8 Away from me, all you who do evil, for the LORD has heard my weeping.
6:9 The LORD has heard my cry for mercy; the LORD accepts my prayer.
6:10 All my enemies will be ashamed and dismayed; they will turn back in sudden disgrace.
6:1 O Jehovah, do not rebuke me in Your anger, / Nor chasten me in Your burning wrath.
6:2 Be gracious to me, O Jehovah, for I am languishing; / Heal me, O Jehovah, for my bones are shaken,
6:3 And my soul is greatly shaken. / But as for You, O Jehovah, how long?
6:4 Return, O Jehovah; deliver my soul; / Save me for Your lovingkindness sake.
6:5 For in death there is no remembrance of You; / In Sheol who can give thanks to You?
6:6 I am weary with my groaning; / Every night I cause my bed to swim; / With my tears I dissolve my couch.
6:7 My eye is wasted because of grief; / It has aged because of all those who vex me.
6:8 Depart from me, all you workers of iniquity, / For Jehovah has heard the sound of my weeping.
6:9 Jehovah has heard my supplication; / Jehovah receives my prayer.
6:10 All my enemies will be ashamed and greatly dismayed; / They will turn back; they will be put to shame suddenly.
