Psalms 6 — T4T

A psalm written by David for the choir leader, to be accompanied by people playing stringed instruments

6Verse 1Yahweh, do not punish me when you are angry with me;Do not even rebuke/scold me when you are angry.^{Verse 2}Yahweh, be kind to me and heal me because I have become weak.My body [SYN] shakes because I am experiencing much pain.^{Verse 3}Yahweh, I am greatly distressed.How long ◄must I endure this/will it be before you help me► [RHQ]?^{Verse 4}Yahweh, please come and rescue me.Save me because you faithfully love me.^{Verse 5}I will not be able to praise you after I die [RHQ];No one in the place of the dead praises you.^{Verse 6}I am exhausted/groan from my pain.At night I cry very much, with the result that my bed and my pillow become wet from my tears.^{Verse 7}My tears blur my eyes so much that I cannot see well.My eyes have become weak because my enemies have caused me to cry constantly.^{Verse 8}You people who do evil things, get away from me!
^{Verse 9}Yahweh heard me when I was crying and called out to him to help me,and he will answer my prayer.^{Verse 10}When that happens, all my enemies will be ashamed,and they will also be terrified.They will get away from me and suddenly leave mebecause they will be disgraced.
