Psalms 6:1-9 ▼

1 For the one directing. With stringed instruments according to Sheminith. A Psalm of David. O YHWH, in Your anger do not rebuke me, and do not discipline me in Your rage.

2 Be gracious to me, O YHWH, for I am weak; heal me, O YHWH, for my bones are disturbed.

3 And my soul is disturbed greatly; and You, O YHWH, until when?

4 Return, O YHWH, draw out my soul; save me for the sake of Your loving devotion.

5 For in death is no remembrance of You; in Sheol, who can give thanks to You?

6 I have grown weary in my sighing; I cause my bed to swim through all the night; with my tears I melt my couch.

7 My eye has wasted away from grief; it grows old because of all afflicting me.

8 Turn away from me, all workers of iniquity, for YHWH has heard the voice of my weeping.

9 YHWH has heard my supplication; YHWH has received my prayer.
