6 ⁽⁰⁾ For the leader. With stringed instruments. On sh’minit [low-pitched musical instruments?]. A psalm of David:

^2 (1) Adonai, don’t rebuke me in your anger,
don’t discipline me in the heat of your fury.
^3 (2) Be gracious to me, Adonai,
because I am withering away;
heal me, Adonai,
because my bones are shaking;
^4 (3) I am completely terrified;
and you, Adonai — how long?
^5 (4) Come back, Adonai, and rescue me!
Save me for the sake of your grace;
^6 (5) for in death, no one remembers you;
in Sh’ol, who will praise you?

^7 (6) I am worn out with groaning;
all night I drench my bed with tears,
flooding my couch till it swims.
^8 (7) My vision is darkened with anger;
it grows weak because of all my foes.

^9 (8) Get away from me, all you workers of evil!
For Adonai has heard the sound of my weeping,
^10 (9) Adonai has heard my pleading,
Adonai will accept my prayer.
^11 (10) All my enemies will be confounded,
completely terrified;
they will turn back
and be suddenly put to shame.
