Psalm 6

¹  Yahweh, don’t rebuke me in your anger,
    neither discipline me in your wrath.
² Have mercy on me, Yahweh, for I am faint.
    Yahweh, heal me, for my bones are troubled.
³ My soul is also in great anguish.
    But you, Yahweh—how long?
⁴ Return, Yahweh. Deliver my soul,
    and save me for your loving kindness’ sake.
⁵ For in death there is no memory of you.
    In Sheol, ^[a] who shall give you thanks?
⁶ I am weary with my groaning.
    Every night I flood my bed.
    I drench my couch with my tears.
⁷ My eye wastes away because of grief.
    It grows old because of all my adversaries.
⁸ Depart from me, all you workers of iniquity,
    for Yahweh has heard the voice of my weeping.
⁹ Yahweh has heard my supplication.
    Yahweh accepts my prayer.
¹⁰ May all my enemies be ashamed and dismayed.
    They shall turn back, they shall be disgraced suddenly.
