Psalm 6 - The Scriptures 1998

¹ O יהוה, do not rebuke me in Your displeasure, Nor discipline me in Your wrath.

² Show favour to me, O יהוה, for I am fading away; O יהוה, heal me, for my bones have been troubled.

³ And my being has been greatly troubled; And You, O יהוה  – till when?

⁴ Return, O יהוה, rescue my life! Oh, save me for Your kindness’ sake!

⁵ For in death there is no remembrance of You; Who gives You thanks in the grave?

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

⁷ My eye has grown dim because of grief; It grows old because of all my adversaries.

⁸ Depart from me, all you workers of wickedness; For יהוה  has heard the voice of my weeping.

⁹ יהוה  has heard my pleading; יהוה  receives my prayer.

¹⁰ Let all my enemies be ashamed and greatly troubled; They turn back suddenly, ashamed.
