0A PSALM OF DAVID TO MAKE REMEMBRANCE Do Not Rebuke Me in Your Anger (Psalm 6:1–10) 0A Psalm of David, for remembrance.
1O YAHWEH MAY NOT IN ANGER YOUR YOU REBUKE ME AND IN WRATH YOUR MAY YOU CHASTEN ME 1O LORD, do not rebuke me in Your anger or discipline me in Your wrath.
2FOR ARROWS YOUR THEY HAVE PENETRATED <IN> ME AND IT HAS COME DOWN ON ME HAND YOUR 2For Your arrows have pierced me deeply and Your hand has pressed down on me.
3THERE NOT [IS] SOUNDNESS IN FLESH MY <FROM> BECAUSE OF INDIGNATION YOUR THERE NOT [IS] HEALTH IN BONES MY <FROM> BECAUSE OF SIN MY 3There is no soundness in my body because of Your anger; there is no rest in my bones because of my sin.
4FOR INIQUITIES MY THEY HAVE PASSED OVER HEAD MY LIKE A BURDEN HEAVY THEY ARE [TOO] HEAVY FOR ME 4For my iniquities have overwhelmed me; they are a burden too heavy to bear.
5THEY STINK THEY FESTER WOUNDS MY <FROM> BECAUSE OF FOLLY MY 5My wounds are foul and festering because of my sinful folly.
6I AM BENT DOWN I AM BENT OVER UP TO MUCHNESS ALL THE DAY MOURNING I HAVE GONE ABOUT 6I am bent and brought low; all day long I go about mourning.
7FOR LOINS MY THEY ARE FULL BURNING [PAIN] AND THERE NOT [IS] SOUNDNESS IN FLESH MY 7For my loins are full of burning pain, and no soundness remains in my body.
8I AM NUMB AND I AM CRUSHED UP TO MUCHNESS I ROAR FROM [THE] GROANING OF HEART MY 8I am numb and badly crushed; I groan in anguish of heart.
9O LORD [IS] BEFORE YOU ALL DESIRE MY AND SIGHING MY FROM YOU NOT IT IS HIDDEN 9O Lord, my every desire is before You; my groaning is not hidden from You.
10HEART MY IT PALPITATES IT HAS LEFT ME STRENGTH MY AND [THE] LIGHT OF EYES MY ALSO THEY NOT [ARE] WITH ME 10My heart pounds, my strength fails, and even the light of my eyes has faded.
11FRIENDS MY AND COMPANIONS MY FROM BEFORE PLAGUE MY THEY STAND AND KINSMEN MY FROM A DISTANCE THEY HAVE STOOD 11My beloved and friends shun my disease, and my kinsmen stand at a distance.
12AND THEY SET TRAPS [THOSE WHO] SEEK <OF> LIFE MY AND [THOSE WHO] SEEK <OF> HARM MY THEY HAVE SPOKEN DESTRUCTION<S> AND DECEIT<S> ALL THE DAY THEY DEVISE 12Those who seek my life lay snares; those who wish me harm speak destruction, plotting deceit all day long.
13AND I [AM] LIKE A DEAF [PERSON] NOT I HEAR AND LIKE A DUMB [PERSON] [WHO] NOT HE OPENS MOUTH HIS 13But like a deaf man, I do not hear; and like a mute man, I do not open my mouth.
14AND I HAVE BECOME LIKE A MAN WHO NOT [IS] HEARING AND THERE NOT IN MOUTH HIS [ARE] ARGUMENTS 14I am like a man who cannot hear, whose mouth offers no reply.
15FOR FOR YOU O YAHWEH I HAVE WAITED YOU YOU WILL ANSWER O LORD GOD MY 15I wait for You, O LORD; You will answer, O Lord my God.
16FOR I SAID LEST THEY SHOULD REJOICE TO ME WHEN SLIPS FOOT MY ON ME THEY MAGNIFIED THEMSELVES 16For I said, “Let them not gloat over me— those who taunt me when my foot slips.”
17FOR I FOR STUMBLING [AM] PREPARED AND PAIN MY [IS] BEFORE ME CONTINUALLY 17For I am ready to fall, and my pain is ever with me.
18FOR INIQUITY MY I TELL I AM ANXIOUS FROM SIN MY 18Yes, I confess my iniquity; I am troubled by my sin.
19AND ENEMIES MY LIFE THEY ARE NUMEROUS AND THEY ARE MANY [THOSE WHO] HATE ME FALSEHOOD 19Many are my enemies without cause,*NoteCloseOne DSS manuscript; MT My enemies are vigorous and strong and many hate me without reason.*NoteCloseSee John 15:25
20AND [THOSE WHO] REPAY <OF> EVIL IN PLACE OF GOOD THEY ACCUSE ME IN PLACE OF PURSUING MY GOOD 20Those who repay my good with evil attack me for pursuing the good.
21MAY NOT YOU FORSAKE ME O YAHWEH O GOD MY MAY NOT YOU BE DISTANT FROM ME 21Do not forsake me, O LORD; be not far from me, O my God.
