| Chapter 6 |
1 |
{To the chief Musician. On stringed instruments, upon Sheminith. A Psalm of David.} Jehovah, rebuke me not in thine anger, and chasten me not in thy hot displeasure. |
2 |
Be gracious unto me, Jehovah, for I am withered; Jehovah, heal me, for my bones tremble. |
3 |
And my soul trembleth exceedingly: and thou, Jehovah, till how long? |
4 |
Return, Jehovah, free my soul; save me for thy loving-kindness` sake. |
5 |
For in death there is no remembrance of thee; in Sheol who shall give thanks unto thee? |
6 |
I am wearied with my groaning; all the night make I my bed to swim; I dissolve my couch with my tears. |
7 |
Mine eye wasteth away through grief; it hath grown old because of all mine oppressors. |
8 |
Depart from me, all ye workers of iniquity; for Jehovah hath heard the voice of my weeping. |
9 |
Jehovah hath heard my supplication; Jehovah receiveth my prayer. |
10 |
All mine enemies shall be ashamed and tremble exceedingly; they will turn, they will be ashamed suddenly. |
