Psalms 6

¹O Jehovah, rebuke me not in thine anger, Neither chasten me in thy hot displeasure.

²Have mercy upon me, O Jehovah; for I am withered away: O Jehovah, heal me; for my bones are troubled.

³My soul also is sore troubled: And thou, O Jehovah, how long?

⁴Return, O Jehovah, deliver my soul: Save me for thy lovingkindness' sake.

⁵For in death there is no remembrance of thee: In Sheol who shall give thee thanks?

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

⁷Mine eye wasteth away because of grief; It waxeth old because of all mine adversaries.

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

⁹Jehovah hath heard my supplication; Jehovah will receive my prayer.

¹⁰All mine enemies shall be put to shame and sore troubled: They shall turn back, they shall be put to shame suddenly. Psalm 7 Shiggaion of David, which he sang unto Jehova, concerning the words of Cush a Benjamite.
