◄ Psalm 6 ►

King James Bible

International Standard Version

1To the chief Musician on Neginoth upon Sheminith, A Psalm of David. O LORD, rebuke me not in thine anger, neither chasten me in thy hot displeasure.

1LORD, in your anger, do not rebuke me, in your wrath, do not discipline me.

2Have mercy upon me, O LORD; for I am weak: O LORD, heal me; for my bones are vexed.

2Be gracious to me, LORD, because I am fading away. Heal me, because my body is distressed.

3My soul is also sore vexed: but thou, O LORD, how long?

3And my soul is deeply distressed. But you, LORD, how long do I wait?

4Return, O LORD, deliver my soul: oh save me for thy mercies' sake.

4Return, LORD, save my life! Deliver me, because of your gracious love.

5For in death there is no remembrance of thee: in the grave who shall give thee thanks?

5In death, there is no memory of you. Who will give you thanks where the dead are?

6I am weary with my groaning; all the night make I my bed to swim; I water my couch with my tears.

6I am weary from my groaning. Every night my couch is drenched with tears, my bed is soaked through.

7Mine eye is consumed because of grief; it waxeth old because of all mine enemies.

7My eyesight has faded because of grief, it has dimmed because of all my enemies.

8Depart from me, all ye workers of iniquity; for the LORD hath heard the voice of my weeping.

8Get away from me, all of you who practice evil, for the LORD has heard the sound of my weeping.

9The LORD hath heard my supplication; the LORD will receive my prayer.

9The LORD has heard my plea; the LORD receives my prayer.

10Let all mine enemies be ashamed and sore vexed: let them return and be ashamed suddenly.

10As for all my enemies, they will be put to shame; they will be greatly frightened and suddenly turn away ashamed.
