Psalms 6
6
For the music director. To be accompanied by stringed instruments, according to the sheminith.#6:0. The meaning of this term is not known. A psalm of David.
1Lord, please don't condemn me because you're angry with me; please don't punish me because you're angry with me!
2Have mercy on me, Lord, for I am weak; heal me, Lord, for I am sick to the bone.
3I'm shaking all over in fear. How long will it be, Lord, before you do something?
4Turn,#6:4. This could either mean to turn towards the psalmist, or for the Lord to change his mind and heal the psalmist. Lord, and rescue me! Save me because of your trustworthy love!
5For no one remembers you when they're dead. Who is able to praise you from the grave?
6My groaning has exhausted me. Every night I soak my bed with my crying; I drench my couch with my tears.
7With all my crying I can hardly see; my eyes grow weak because of the trouble my enemies cause me.
8Leave me alone, all you people who do evil, for the Lord has heard me crying!
9The Lord has heard me calling out for help; the Lord answers my prayer.
10All who hate me will be shamefully defeated and terrified; they will run away in disgrace.
