Psalms 6:1-9 ▼

1 For the choir director. With stringed instruments. According to the Sheminith. A Psalm of David. O Yahweh, do not reprove me in Your anger, Nor discipline me in Your wrath.

2 Be gracious to me, O Yahweh, for I am pining away; Heal me, O Yahweh, for my bones are dismayed.

3 And my soul is greatly dismayed; But You, O Yahweh—how long?

4 Return, O Yahweh, rescue my soul; Save me because of Your lovingkindness.

5 For there is no remembrance of You in death; In Sheol who will give You thanks?

6 I am weary with my sighing; Every night I make my bed swim, I flood my couch with my tears.

7 My eye has wasted away with grief; It has become old because of all my adversaries.

8 Depart from me, all you workers of iniquity, For Yahweh has heard the sound of my weeping.

9 Yahweh has heard my supplication, Yahweh receives my prayer.
