TEHILLIM 6

1 (For the one directing. With stringed instruments. Al HaSheminit. Mizmor Dovid)

2 Hashem, rebuke me not in Thine anger,

neither chasten me in Thy hot displeasure.

3 Have mercy upon me, Hashem;

for I am weak:

Hashem, heal me;

for my atzmot are shaking.

4 My nefesh is also much shaken;

but Thou, Hashem, ad mosai (how much longer)?

5 Turn, Hashem, deliver my nefesh;

hoshieini (save me) for the sake of Thy chesed.

6 For in mavet there is no remembrance of Thee;

in Sheol who shall give Thee thanks?

7 I am weary with my groaning;

all the lailah flood I my mittah with weeping;

I water my couch with my tears.

8 Mine eye is consumed because of ka’as (grief);

it groweth old because of all mine enemies.

9 Depart from me, all ye workers of iniquity;

for Hashem hath heard the voice of my weeping.

10 Hashem hath heard my techinnah (supplication);

Hashem will receive my tefillah (prayer).

11 Let all mine oyevim be ashamed and much troubled;

let them turn back and suddenly be ashamed.
