תהילים ו׳Psalms 6

For the leader; with instrumental music on the sheminith. Meaning of Heb. uncertain. A psalm of David.

O ETERNAL One, do not punish me in anger,
do not chastise me in fury.

Have mercy on me, O ETERNAL One, for I languish;
heal me, O ETERNAL One, for my bones shake with terror.

My whole being is stricken with terror,
while You, ETERNAL One—O, how long!

O ETERNAL One, turn! Rescue me!
Deliver me as befits Your faithfulness.

For there is no praise of You among the dead;
in Sheol, who can acclaim You?

I am weary with groaning;
every night I drench my bed,
I melt my couch in tears.

My eyes are wasted by vexation,
worn out because of all my foes.

Away from me, all you evildoers,
for GOD heeds the sound of my weeping.

GOD heeds my plea,
GOD accepts my prayer.

All my enemies will be frustrated and stricken with terror;
they will turn back in an instant, frustrated.
