Chap. 6
1 To the chief musician on stringed instruments, upon Sheminith; a Psalm of David.
2 O Jehovah, rebuke me not in thine anger, and chasten me not in thy hot displeasure.
3 Be merciful unto me, O Jehovah, for I am languishing; heal me, O Jehovah, for my bones are terrified.
4 And my soul is greatly terrified; and thou, O Jehovah, how long?
5 Return, O Jehovah, deliver my soul; save me for thy mercy's sake.
6 For in death there is no remembrance of thee; in Sheol who shall praise thee?
7 I am weary with my sighing; all the night make I my bed to swim; I cause my couch to flow down with my tears.
8 Mine eye is consumed through grief, it has grown old because of all mine adversaries.
9 Depart from me, all workers of iniquity; for Jehovah hath heard the voice of my weeping.
10 Jehovah hath heard my supplication, Jehovah will receive my prayer.
11 All mine enemies shall be greatly ashamed and terrified; they shall turn back, they shall be ashamed suddenly.
