Psalms, Chapter 6

  
1. O Jehovah, rebuke me not in thine anger, Neither chasten me in thy hot displeasure.
  
2. Have mercy upon me, O Jehovah; for I am withered away: O Jehovah, heal me; for my bones are troubled.
  
3. My soul also is sore troubled: And thou, O Jehovah, how long?
  
4. Return, O Jehovah, deliver my soul: Save me for thy lovingkindness' sake.
  
5. For in death there is no remembrance of thee: In Sheol who shall give thee thanks?
  
6. I am weary with my groaning; Every night make I my bed to swim; I water my couch with my tears.
  
7. Mine eye wasteth away because of grief; It waxeth old because of all mine adversaries.
  
8. Depart from me, all ye workers of iniquity; For Jehovah hath heard the voice of my weeping.
  
9. Jehovah hath heard my supplication; Jehovah will receive my prayer.
  
10. All mine enemies shall be put to shame and sore troubled: They shall turn back, they shall be put to shame suddenly.
