Psalm

6 O Jehovah, do not in your anger reprove me,+

And do not in your rage correct me.+

 2 Show me favor, O Jehovah, for I am fading away.+

Heal me,+ O Jehovah, for my bones have been disturbed.

 3 Yes, my own soul has been very much disturbed;+

And you, O Jehovah—how long?+

 4 Do return,+ O Jehovah, do rescue my soul;+

Save me for the sake of your loving-kindness.*+

 5 For in death there is no mention* of you;+

In Sheʹol* who will laud you?+

 6 I have grown weary with my sighing;+

All night long I make my couch swim;+

With my tears I make my own divan overflow.+

 7 From vexation my eye has become weak,+

It has grown old because of all those showing hostility to me.+

 8 Get away from me, all YOU practicers of what is hurtful,+

For Jehovah will certainly hear the sound of my weeping.+

 9 Jehovah will indeed hear my request for favor;+

Jehovah himself will accept my own prayer.+

10 All my enemies will be very much ashamed+ and disturbed;

They will turn back, they will be ashamed instantly.+
