^6:1 O Jehovah, do not rebuke me in your anger, nor discipline me in your hot displeasure. ^6:2 Have mercy upon me, O Jehovah, because I am withered away. O Jehovah, heal me, because my bones are troubled.

    ^6:3 My soul also is greatly troubled. And you, O Jehovah, how long? ^6:4 Return, O Jehovah, deliver my soul. Save me for your loving kindness' sake. ^6:5Because in death there is no remembrance of you. Who will give you thanks in Sheol ?

    ^6:6 I am weary with my groaning. Every night I make my bed to swim. I water my couch with my tears. ^6:7 My eye wastes away because of grief. It grows old because of all my adversaries.

    ^6:8 Depart from me, all you^* workers of wickedness, because Jehovah has heard the voice of my weeping. ^6:9Jehovah has heard my supplication. Jehovah will receive my prayer. ^6:10 All my enemies will be put to shame and greatly troubled. They will turn back. They will be put to shame suddenly.
