Names of God Bible

Psalm 6

For the choir director; with stringed instruments, on the sheminith;[a] a psalm by David.

1 O Yahweh, do not punish me in your anger
    or discipline me in your rage.
2 Have pity on me, O Yahweh, because I am weak.
    Heal me, O Yahweh, because my bones shake with terror.
3 My soul has been deeply shaken with terror.
    But you, O Yahweh, how long . . . ?

4 Come back, O Yahweh.
    Rescue me.
    Save me because of your mercy!
5 In death, no one remembers you.
    In the grave, who praises you?

6 I am worn out from my groaning.
    My eyes flood my bed every night.
    I soak my couch with tears.
7 My eyes blur from grief.
    They fail because of my enemies.

8 Get away from me, all you troublemakers,
    because Yahweh has heard the sound of my crying.
9         Yahweh has heard my plea for mercy.
        Yahweh accepts my prayer.
10 All my enemies will be put to shame and deeply shaken with terror.
    In a moment they will retreat and be put to shame.
