Psalm 6
Complete Jewish Bible
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.
Salmos 6
La Biblia de las Américas
Oración pidiendo misericordia en la prueba
Para el director del coro; con instrumentos de cuerda, sobre una lira de ocho cuerdas[a]. Salmo de David.
6 Señor, no me reprendas en tu ira,
ni me castigues en tu furor(A).
2 Ten piedad de mí, Señor, pues languidezco[b](B);
sáname(C), Señor, porque mis huesos se estremecen(D).
3 Mi alma también está muy angustiada(E);
y tú, oh Señor, ¿hasta cuándo(F)?
4 Vuélvete, Señor, rescata mi alma[c](G);
sálvame por tu misericordia.
5 Porque no hay en la muerte memoria de ti;
en el Seol[d], ¿quién te dará gracias(H)?
6 Cansado estoy de mis gemidos(I);
todas las noches inundo de llanto mi lecho[e],
con mis lágrimas(J) riego[f] mi cama.
7 Se consumen de sufrir mis ojos[g](K);
han envejecido[h] a causa de todos mis adversarios.
8 Apartaos de mí, todos los que hacéis iniquidad(L),
porque el Señor ha oído la voz de mi llanto(M).
9 El Señor ha escuchado mi súplica(N);
el Señor recibe mi oración(O).
10 Todos mis enemigos serán avergonzados(P) y se turbarán en gran manera;
se volverán[i], y de repente(Q) serán avergonzados.

Psalm 6
King James Version
6 O Lord, rebuke me not in thine anger, neither chasten me in thy hot displeasure.
2 Have mercy upon me, O Lord; for I am weak: O Lord, heal me; for my bones are vexed.
3 My soul is also sore vexed: but thou, O Lord, how long?
4 Return, O Lord, deliver my soul: oh save me for thy mercies' sake.
5 For in death there is no remembrance of thee: in the grave who shall give thee thanks?
6 I am weary with my groaning; all the night make I my bed to swim; I water my couch with my tears.
7 Mine eye is consumed because of grief; it waxeth old because of all mine enemies.
8 Depart from me, all ye workers of iniquity; for the Lord hath heard the voice of my weeping.
9 The Lord hath heard my supplication; the Lord will receive my prayer.
10 Let all mine enemies be ashamed and sore vexed: let them return and be ashamed suddenly.
Psalm 6
New King James Version
A Prayer of Faith in Time of Distress
To the Chief Musician. With stringed instruments. (A)On [a]an eight-stringed harp. A Psalm of David.
6 O Lord, (B)do not rebuke me in Your anger,
Nor chasten me in Your hot displeasure.
2 Have mercy on me, O Lord, for I am weak;
O Lord, (C)heal me, for my bones are troubled.
3 My soul also is greatly (D)troubled;
But You, O Lord—how long?
4 Return, O Lord, deliver me!
Oh, save me for Your mercies’ sake!
5 (E)For in death there is no remembrance of You;
In the grave who will give You thanks?
6 I am weary with my groaning;
[b]All night I make my bed swim;
I drench my couch with my tears.
7 (F)My eye wastes away because of grief;
It grows old because of all my enemies.
