6 O Jehovah, rebuke me not in thine anger,
Neither chasten me in thy hot displeasure.
² Have mercy upon me, O Jehovah; for I am withered away:
O Jehovah, heal me; for my bones are troubled.
³ My soul also is sore troubled:
And thou, O Jehovah, how long?
⁴ Return, O Jehovah, deliver my soul:
Save me for thy lovingkindness’ sake.
⁵ For in death there is no remembrance of thee:
In Sheol who shall give thee thanks?
⁶ I am weary with my groaning;
Every night make I my bed to swim;
I water my couch with my tears.
⁷ Mine eye wasteth away because of grief;
It waxeth old because of all mine adversaries.
⁸ Depart from me, all ye workers of iniquity;
For Jehovah hath heard the voice of my weeping.
⁹ Jehovah hath heard my supplication;
Jehovah will receive my prayer.
¹⁰ All mine enemies shall be put to shame and sore troubled:
They shall turn back, they shall be put to shame suddenly.
