Psalm 6 (WEBP)

[1] Yahweh, don’t rebuke me in your anger, neither discipline me in your wrath.
[2] Have mercy on me, Yahweh, for I am faint. Yahweh, heal me, for my bones are troubled.
[3] My soul is also in great anguish. But you, Yahweh—how long?
[4] Return, Yahweh. Deliver my soul, and save me for your loving kindness’ sake.
[5] For in death there is no memory of you. In Sheol, who shall give you thanks?
[6] I am weary with my groaning. Every night I flood my bed. I drench my couch with my tears.
[7] My eye wastes away because of grief. It grows old because of all my adversaries.
[8] Depart from me, all you workers of iniquity, for Yahweh has heard the voice of my weeping.
[9] Yahweh has heard my supplication. Yahweh accepts my prayer.
[10] May all my enemies be ashamed and dismayed. They shall turn back, they shall be disgraced suddenly.

Psalm 6:5 Sheol is the place of the dead.

Psalm 6 (KJVS)

[1] O Lord, rebuke me not in thine anger, Neither chasten me in thy hot displeasure.
[2] Have mercy upon me, O Lord; for I am weak: O Lord, heal me; for my bones are vexed.
[3] My soul is also sore vexed: But thou, O Lord, how long?
[4] Return, O Lord, deliver my soul: Oh save me for thy mercies’ sake.
[5] For in death there is no remembrance of thee: In the grave who shall give thee thanks?
[6] I am weary with my groaning; all the night make I my bed to swim; I water my couch with my tears.
[7] Mine eye is consumed because of grief; It waxeth old because of all mine enemies.
[8] Depart from me, all ye workers of iniquity; For the Lord hath heard the voice of my weeping.
[9] The Lord hath heard my supplication; The Lord will receive my prayer.
[10] Let all mine enemies be ashamed and sore vexed: Let them return and be ashamed suddenly.
