6 “ ‘Alas, sword of the Lord,

how long till you rest?

Return to your sheath;

cease and be still.’

6 O thou sword of the Lord, how long will it be ere thou be quiet?

Put up thyself into thy scabbard, rest, and be still.

6 “Now, O sword of the Lord,

when will you be at rest again?

Go back into your sheath;

rest and be still.

6 “O you sword of the Lord,

How long until you are quiet?

Put yourself up into your scabbard,

Rest and be still!

6 “You cry, ‘Sword of the Lord,

how long will you keep fighting?

Return to your holder.

Stop and be still.’

6 O thou sword of Jehovah, how long will it be ere thou be quiet? put up thyself into thy scabbard; rest, and be still.

6 Alas! sword of Jehovah, how long wilt thou not be quiet? Withdraw into thy scabbard, rest, and be still.

6 You cry out, “Sword of the Lord, 

how long will you keep on fighting? 

Go back into your scabbard. 

Stay there and rest!” 

6 Oh, sword of the Lord!

How long will you be restless?

Go back to your sheath;

be still; be silent!

6 Ah, sword of the Lord!

How long until you are quiet?

Put yourself into your scabbard,

rest and be still!

6 Ah, sword of Yahweh,

how long will you not be quiet?

Gather to your sheath,

keep quiet and stand still.

6 “ ‘Sword of the Lord!’ you cry out.

‘How long will it be until you rest?

Return to the place you came from.

Stop killing us! Be still!’

6 “Ah, sword of the Lord,

How long will you not be quiet?

Withdraw into your sheath;

Be at rest and stay still.
