Psalms 6

לַמְנַצֵּ֣חַ בִּ֭נְגִינוֹת עַֽל־הַשְּׁמִינִ֗ית מִזְמ֥וֹר לְדָוִֽד׃

יְֽהוָ֗ה אַל־בְּאַפְּךָ֥ תוֹכִיחֵ֑נִי וְֽאַל־בַּחֲמָתְךָ֥ תְיַסְּרֵֽנִי׃

For the choirmaster. With stringed instruments, according to Sheminith. A Psalm of David. O LORD, do not rebuke me in Your anger or discipline me in Your wrath.

To 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.

חָנֵּ֥נִי יְהוָה֮ כִּ֤י אֻמְלַ֫ל אָ֥נִי רְפָאֵ֥נִי יְהוָ֑ה כִּ֖י נִבְהֲל֣וּ עֲצָמָֽי׃

Be merciful to me, O LORD, for I am frail; heal me, O LORD, for my bones are in agony.

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

וְ֭נַפְשִׁי נִבְהֲלָ֣ה מְאֹ֑ד (ואת) [וְאַתָּ֥ה] יְ֝הוָ֗ה עַד־מָתָֽי׃

My soul is deeply distressed. How long, O LORD, how long?

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

שׁוּבָ֣ה יְ֭הוָה חַלְּצָ֣ה נַפְשִׁ֑י ה֝וֹשִׁיעֵ֗נִי לְמַ֣עַן חַסְדֶּֽךָ׃

Turn, O LORD, and deliver my soul; save me because of Your loving devotion.

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

כִּ֤י אֵ֣ין בַּמָּ֣וֶת זִכְרֶ֑ךָ בִּ֝שְׁא֗וֹל מִ֣י יֽוֹדֶה־לָּֽךְ׃

For there is no mention of You in death; who can praise You from Sheol?

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

יָגַ֤עְתִּי ׀ בְּֽאַנְחָתִ֗י אַשְׂחֶ֣ה בְכָל־לַ֭יְלָה מִטָּתִ֑י בְּ֝דִמְעָתִ֗י עַרְשִׂ֥י אַמְסֶֽה׃

I am weary from groaning; all night I flood my bed with weeping and drench my couch with tears.

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

עָֽשְׁשָׁ֣ה מִכַּ֣עַס עֵינִ֑י עָֽ֝תְקָ֗ה בְּכָל־צוֹרְרָֽי׃

My eyes fail from grief; they grow dim because of all my foes.

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

ס֣וּרוּ מִ֭מֶּנִּי כָּל־פֹּ֣עֲלֵי אָ֑וֶן כִּֽי־שָׁמַ֥ע יְ֝הוָ֗ה ק֣וֹל בִּכְיִֽי׃

Depart from me, all you workers of iniquity, for the LORD has heard my weeping.

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

שָׁמַ֣ע יְ֭הוָה תְּחִנָּתִ֑י יְ֝הוָ֗ה תְּֽפִלָּתִ֥י יִקָּֽח׃

The LORD has heard my cry for mercy; the LORD accepts my prayer.

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

יֵבֹ֤שׁוּ ׀ וְיִבָּהֲל֣וּ מְ֭אֹד כָּל־אֹיְבָ֑י יָ֝שֻׁ֗בוּ יֵבֹ֥שׁוּ רָֽגַע׃

All my enemies will be ashamed and dismayed; they will turn back in sudden disgrace.

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