Psalm 6 :: Legacy Standard Bible (LSB)

Yahweh, Rescue My Soul

Psa 6:1

For the choir director. With stringed instruments. According to the [fn]Sheminith. A Psalm of David.

O Yahweh, do not reprove me in Your anger,

Nor discipline me in Your wrath.

Psa 6:2

Be gracious to me, O Yahweh, for I am pining away;

Heal me, O Yahweh, for my bones are dismayed.

Psa 6:3

And my soul is greatly dismayed;

But You, O Yahweh—how long?

Psa 6:4

Return, O Yahweh, rescue my [fn]soul;

Save me because of Your lovingkindness.

Psa 6:5

For there is no remembrance of You in death;

In Sheol who will give You thanks?

Psa 6:6

I am weary with my sighing;

Every night I make my bed swim,

I flood my couch with my tears.

Psa 6:7

My eye has wasted away with grief;

It has become old because of all my adversaries.

Psa 6:8

Depart from me, all you workers of iniquity,

For Yahweh has heard the sound of my weeping.

Psa 6:9

Yahweh has heard my supplication,

Yahweh receives my prayer.

Psa 6:10

All my enemies will be ashamed and greatly dismayed;

They shall [fn]turn back, they will suddenly be ashamed.
