Psalm 6

O LORD, rebuke me not in thine anger, neither chasten me in thy hot displeasure.

Lord, please don't rebuke me in your anger, nor punish me in your burning wrath.

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

Please, Lord, show me compassion, for I am frail. Heal me, Lord, for my very bones are in agony.

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

My heart is deeply troubled. Oh Lord, when will you bring relief?

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

Please come back, Lord, rescue my spirit. Save me, because of your unfailing love.

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

When we die, we can't remember or thank you; who can express gratitude from the grave?

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

I'm exhausted from my constant sighing; I spend my nights drowning in sorrow, soaking my bed with my tears.

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

My eyes are worn out from crying, aged by the sorrow caused by my foes.

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

Leave my presence, all who do wrong; for God has heard my tears.

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

The Lord has listened to my heartfelt plea; He will graciously accept my prayer.

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

May all those who oppose me be put to shame and filled with dread; may they turn back, suddenly disgraced.
