Psalms 6

World English Bible (WEB) — public domain

1. 1 Yahweh, don’t rebuke me in your anger, neither discipline me in your wrath.
2. 2 Have mercy on me, Yahweh, for I am faint. Yahweh, heal me, for my bones are troubled.
3. 3 My soul is also in great anguish. But you, Yahweh—how long?
4. 4 Return, Yahweh. Deliver my soul, and save me for your loving kindness’ sake.
5. 5 For in death there is no memory of you. In Sheol, who shall give you thanks?
6. 6 I am weary with my groaning. Every night I flood my bed. I drench my couch with my tears.
7. 7 My eye wastes away because of grief. It grows old because of all my adversaries.
8. 8 Depart from me, all you workers of iniquity, for Yahweh has heard the voice of my weeping.
9. 9 Yahweh has heard my supplication. Yahweh accepts my prayer.
10. 10 May all my enemies be ashamed and dismayed. They shall turn back, they shall be disgraced suddenly.
