Psalms 6

1 Please, God, no more yelling, no more trips to the woodshed.

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

2 Treat me nice for a change; I'm so starved for affection. Can't you see I'm black and blue,

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

3 and soul? God, how long will it take for you to let up?

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

4 Break in, God, and break up this fight; if you love me at all, get me out of here.

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

5 I'm no good to you dead, am I? I can't sing in your choir if I'm buried in some tomb!

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

6 I'm tired of all this - so tired. My bed has been floating forty days and nights On the flood of my tears. My mattress is soaked, soggy with tears.

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

7 The sockets of my eyes are black holes; nearly blind, I squint and grope.

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

8 Get out of here, you Devil's crew: at last God has heard my sobs.

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

9 My requests have all been granted, my prayers are answered.

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

10 Cowards, my enemies disappear. Disgraced, they turn tail and run.

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