Psalm 6

PSALM 6

Yahweh, Rescue My Soul

For the choir director. With stringed instruments. According to the ^†Sheminith. A Psalm of David.

¹O Yahweh, ^ado not reprove me in Your anger,

Nor discipline me in Your wrath.

²Be gracious to me, O Yahweh, for I am ^apining away;

^bHeal me, O Yahweh, for ^cmy bones are dismayed.

³And my ^asoul is greatly dismayed;

But You, O Yahweh—^bhow long?

⁴Return, O Yahweh, ^arescue my ¹soul;

Save me because of Your lovingkindness.

⁵For ^athere is no remembrance of You in death;

In Sheol who will give You thanks?

⁶I am ^aweary with my sighing;

Every night I make my bed swim,

I flood my couch with ^bmy tears.

⁷My ^aeye has wasted away with grief;

It has become old because of all my adversaries.

^8aDepart from me, all you workers of iniquity,

For Yahweh ^bhas heard the sound of my weeping.

⁹Yahweh ^ahas heard my supplication,

Yahweh ^breceives my prayer.

¹⁰All my enemies will ^abe ashamed and greatly dismayed;

They shall ¹turn back, they will ^bsuddenly be ashamed.
