Psalm 6 — Legacy Standard Bible

Yahweh, Rescue My Soul

For the choir director. With stringed instruments. According to the ¹Sheminith. A Psalm of David.

O Yahweh, ^ado not reprove me in Your anger,Nor discipline me in Your wrath.²Be gracious to me, O Yahweh, for I am ^apining away;^bHeal me, O Yahweh, for ^cmy bones are dismayed.³And my ^asoul is greatly dismayed;But You, O Yahweh—^bhow long?⁴Return, O Yahweh, ^arescue my ¹soul;Save me because of Your lovingkindness.⁵For ^athere is no remembrance of You in death;In Sheol who will give You thanks?⁶I am ^aweary with my sighing;Every night I make my bed swim,I flood my couch with ^bmy tears.⁷My ^aeye has wasted away with grief;It has become old because of all my adversaries.⁸^aDepart from me, all you workers of iniquity,For Yahweh ^bhas heard the sound of my weeping.⁹Yahweh ^ahas heard my supplication,Yahweh ^breceives my prayer.¹⁰All my enemies will ^abe ashamed and greatly dismayed;They shall ¹turn back, they will ^bsuddenly be ashamed.
