Psalms 6
Of David
1 Yahweh, do not punish me in your rage, or reprove me in the heat of anger.
2 Pity me, Yahweh, I have no strength left, heal me, my bones are in torment,
3 my soul is in utter torment. Yahweh, how long will you be?
4 Come back, Yahweh, rescue my soul, save me, if you love me;
5 for in death there is no remembrance of you: who can sing your praises in Sheol?
6 I am worn out with groaning, every night I drench my pillow and soak my bed with tears;
7 my eye is wasted with grief, I have grown old with enemies all round me.
8 Away from me, all you evil men! For Yahweh has heard the sound of my weeping;
9 Yahweh has heard my petition, Yahweh will accept my prayer.
10 Let all my enemies, discredited, in utter torment, fall back in sudden confusion.
