Psalms 6

¹For the music director; with stringed instruments, on the Sheminith. A psalm of David. O Yahweh, do not rebuke me in your anger, and do not discipline me in your wrath. ²Be gracious to me, O Yahweh, because I am feeble. Heal me, O Yahweh, for my bones are terrified. ³My soul is also very terrified. But you, O Yahweh, how long? ⁴Turn, O Yahweh; deliver my life. Save me for the sake of your steadfast love. ⁵For there is no remembrance of you in death. In Sheol, who will give thanks to you? ⁶I am weary with my groaning; ⌞I flood⌟ my bed every night. With my tears ⌞I drench⌟ my couch. ⁷My eye wastes away because of vexation; it grows old because of all my oppressors. ⁸Depart from me, all workers of evil, for Yahweh has heard the sound of my weeping. ⁹Yahweh has heard my plea; Yahweh has accepted my prayer. ¹⁰All my enemies shall be ashamed and shall be very terrified. They shall turn back; they shall suddenly be ashamed.
