PSALM 6
First Version
Meter: 8,8,8,8
To the chief Musician on Neginoth upon Sheminith,
A Psalm of David.
1Lord, in thy wrath rebuke me not;
Nor in thy hot rage chasten me.
2Lord, pity me, for I am weak:
Heal me, for my bones vexed be.
3My soul is also vexed sore;
But, Lord, how long stay wilt thou make?
4Return, O Lord, my soul set free;
O save me, for thy mercies' sake.
5Because those that deceased are
Of thee shall no remembrance have;
And who is he that will to thee
Give praises lying in the grave?
6I with my groaning weary am,
I also all the night my bed
Have caused for to swim; and I
With tears my couch have watered.
7Mine eye, consum'd with grief, grows old,
Because of all mine enemies.
8Hence from me, wicked workers all;
For God hath heard my weeping cries.
9God hath my supplication heard,
My pray'r received graciously
10Sham'd and sore vex'd be all my foes,
Sham'd and back turned suddenly.

Tehillim (Psalms) 6
6
1O יהוה, do not rebuke me in Your displeasure, Nor discipline me in Your wrath.
2Show favour to me, O יהוה, for I am fading away; O יהוה, heal me, for my bones have been troubled.
3And my being has been greatly troubled; And You, O יהוה – till when?
4Return, O יהוה, rescue my life! Oh, save me for Your loving-commitment’ sake!
5For in death there is no remembrance of You; Who gives You thanks in She’ol?
6I have grown weary with my groaning; Every night I flood my bed; I drench my couch with my tears.
7My eye has grown dim because of grief; It grows old because of all my adversaries.
8Depart from me, all you workers of wickedness; For יהוה has heard the voice of my weeping.
9יהוה has heard my pleading; יהוה receives my prayer.
10Let all my enemies be ashamed and greatly troubled; They turn back suddenly, ashamed.
