Tehillim 6

Orthodox Jewish Bible

6 (For the one directing. With stringed instruments. Al HaSheminit. Mizmor Dovid) Hashem, rebuke me not in Thine anger, neither chasten me in Thy hot displeasure.

²⁽³⁾Have mercy upon me, Hashem; for I am weak: Hashem, heal me; for my atzmot are shaking.

³⁽⁴⁾My nefesh is also much shaken; but Thou, Hashem, ad mosai (how much longer)?

⁴⁽⁵⁾Turn, Hashem, deliver my nefesh; hoshieini (save me) for the sake of Thy chesed.

⁵⁽⁶⁾For in mavet there is no remembrance of Thee; in Sheol who shall give Thee thanks?

⁶⁽⁷⁾I am weary with my groaning; all the lailah flood I my mittah with weeping; I water my couch with my tears.

⁷⁽⁸⁾Mine eye is consumed because of ka’as (grief); it groweth old because of all mine enemies.

⁸⁽⁹⁾Depart from me, all ye workers of iniquity; for Hashem hath heard the voice of my weeping.

⁹⁽¹⁰⁾Hashem hath heard my techinnah (supplication); Hashem will receive my tefillah (prayer).

¹⁰⁽¹¹⁾Let all mine oyevim be ashamed and much troubled; let them turn back and suddenly be ashamed.
