6:6I am exhausted as I groan;
all night long I drench my bed in tears;10
my tears saturate the cushion beneath me.11
6:7My eyes12 grow dim13 from suffering;
they grow weak14 because of all my enemies.15
6:8Turn back from me, all you who behave wickedly,16
for the Lord has heard the sound of my weeping!17
Footnotes
- 10 Heb “I cause to swim through all the night my bed.”
- 11 Heb “with my tears my bed I flood/melt.”
- 12 The Hebrew text has the singular “eye” here.
- 13 Or perhaps, “are swollen.”
- 14 Or perhaps, “grow old.”
- 15 In his weakened condition the psalmist is vulnerable to the taunts and threats of his enemies.
- 16 Heb “all [you] workers of wickedness.” See Ps 5:5.
- 17 The Lord has heard. The psalmist’s mood abruptly changes because the Lord responded positively to the lament and petition of vv. 1–7 and promised him deliverance.

I am weary with my moaning;
every night I flood my bed with tears;

I am weary with my groaning;
I flood my bed every night.
With my tears I drench my couch.
My eye wastes away because of vexation;

Depart from me, all workers of evil,
for Yahweh has heard the sound of my weeping.

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