Psalm 6

New Revised Standard NRS

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

2 Be gracious to me, O Lord, for I am languishing; O Lord, heal me, for my bones are shaking with terror.

3 My soul also is struck with terror, while you, O Lord—how long?

4 Turn, O Lord, save my life; deliver me for the sake of your steadfast love.

5 For in death there is no remembrance of you; in Sheol who can give you praise?

6 I am weary with my moaning; every night I flood my bed with tears; I drench my couch with my weeping.

7 My eyes waste away because of grief; they grow weak because of all my foes.

8 Depart from me, all you workers of evil, for the Lord has heard the sound of my weeping.

9 The Lord has heard my supplication; the Lord accepts my prayer.

10 All my enemies shall be ashamed and struck with terror; they shall turn back, and in a moment be put to shame.

The Message Bible MSG

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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