Psalms 6

1 For the Leader; with string-music; on the Sheminith. A Psalm of David. 2 O HaShem, rebuke me not in Thine anger, neither chasten me in Thy wrath. 3 Be gracious unto me, O HaShem, for I languish away; heal me, O HaShem, for my bones are affrighted. 4 My soul also is sore affrighted; and Thou, O HaShem, how long? 5 Return, O HaShem, deliver my soul; save me for Thy mercy's sake. 6 For in death there is no remembrance of Thee; in the nether-world who will give Thee thanks? 7 I am weary with my groaning; every night make I my bed to swim; I melt away my couch with my tears. 8 Mine eye is dimmed because of vexation; it waxeth old because of all mine adversaries. 9 Depart from me, all ye workers of iniquity; for HaShem hath heard the voice of my weeping. 10 HaShem hath heard my supplication; HaShem receiveth my prayer. 11 All mine enemies shall be ashamed and sore affrighted; they shall turn back, they shall be ashamed suddenly.
