Psalm 6

HNV

MSG

1 <<For the Chief Musician; on stringed instruments, upon the sheminit. A Psalm by David.>> LORD, don't rebuke me in your anger, Neither discipline me in your wrath.
1 Please, God, no more yelling, no more trips to the woodshed.
2 Have mercy on me, LORD, for I am faint. LORD, heal me, for my bones are troubled.
2 Treat me nice for a change; I'm so starved for affection. Can't you see I'm black and blue,
3 My soul is also in great anguish. But you, LORD -- how long?
3 and soul? God, how long will it take for you to let up?
4 Return, LORD. Deliver my soul, And save me for your lovingkindness' sake.
4 Break in, God, and break up this fight; if you love me at all, get me out of here.
5 For in death there is no memory of you. In She'ol, who shall give you thanks?
5 I'm no good to you dead, am I? I can't sing in your choir if I'm buried in some tomb!
6 I am weary with my groaning; Every night I flood my bed; I drench my couch with my tears.
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.
7 My eye wastes away because of grief; It grows old because of all my adversaries.
7 The sockets of my eyes are black holes; nearly blind, I squint and grope.
8 Depart from me, all you workers of iniquity, For the LORD has heard the voice of my weeping.
8 Get out of here, you Devil's crew: at last God has heard my sobs.
9 The LORD has heard my supplication. The LORD will receive my prayer.
9 My requests have all been granted, my prayers are answered.
10 May all my enemies be ashamed and dismayed. They shall turn back, they shall be disgraced suddenly.
10 Cowards, my enemies disappear. Disgraced, they turn tail and run.
