Psalms 6

The Bible in Basic English BBE

1 <To the chief music-maker on corded instruments, on the Sheminith. A Psalm. Of David.> O Lord, do not be bitter with me in your wrath; do not send punishment on me in the heat of your passion.

2 Have mercy on me, O Lord, for I am wasted away: make me well, for even my bones are troubled.

3 My soul is in bitter trouble; and you, O Lord, how long?

4 Come back, O Lord, make my soul free; O give me salvation because of your mercy.

5 For in death there is no memory of you; in the underworld who will give you praise?

6 The voice of my sorrow is a weariness to me; all the night I make my bed wet with weeping; it is watered by the drops flowing from my eyes.

7 My eyes are wasting away with trouble; they are becoming old because of all those who are against me.

8 Go from me, all you workers of evil; for the Lord has given ear to the voice of my weeping.

9 The Lord has given ear to my request; the Lord has let my prayer come before him.

10 Let all those who are against me be shamed and deeply troubled; let them be turned back and suddenly put to shame.

New International Version NIV

1 LORD, do not rebuke me in your anger or discipline me in your wrath.

2 Have mercy on me, LORD, for I am faint; heal me, LORD, for my bones are in agony.

3 My soul is in deep anguish. How long, LORD, how long?

4 Turn, LORD, and deliver me; save me because of your unfailing love.

5 Among the dead no one proclaims your name. Who praises you from the grave?

6 I am worn out from my groaning. All night long I flood my bed with weeping and drench my couch with tears.

7 My eyes grow weak with sorrow; they fail because of all my foes.

8 Away from me, all you who do evil, for the LORD has heard my weeping.

9 The LORD has heard my cry for mercy; the LORD accepts my prayer.

10 All my enemies will be overwhelmed with shame and anguish; they will turn back and suddenly be put to shame.
