Psalm 6

MSG

WEB

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