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.

Young’s Literal Translation
Psalm 6 (YLT)
[1] O Jehovah, in Thine anger reprove me not, Nor in Thy fury chastise me.
[2] Favour me, O Jehovah, for I am weak, Heal me, O Jehovah, For troubled have been my bones,
[3] And my soul hath been troubled greatly, And Thou, O Jehovah, till when?
[4] Turn back, O Jehovah, draw out my soul, Save me for Thy kindness’ sake.
[5] For there is not in death Thy memorial, In Sheol, who doth give thanks to Thee?
[6] I have been weary with my sighing, I meditate through all the night on my bed, With my tear my couch I waste.
[7] Old from provocation is mine eye, It is old because of all mine adversaries,
[8] Turn from me all ye workers of iniquity, For Jehovah heard the voice of my weeping,
[9] Jehovah hath heard my supplication, Jehovah my prayer receiveth.
[10] Ashamed and troubled greatly are all mine enemies, They turn back-ashamed in a moment!
