6 To the Overseer with stringed instruments, on the octave. -- A Psalm of David. O Jehovah, in Thine anger reprove me not, Nor in Thy fury chastise me.

² Favour me, O Jehovah, for I [am] weak, Heal me, O Jehovah, For troubled have been my bones,

³ And my soul hath been troubled greatly, And Thou, O Jehovah, till when?

⁴ Turn back, O Jehovah, draw out my soul, Save me for Thy kindness' sake.

⁵ For there is not in death Thy memorial, In Sheol, who doth give thanks to Thee?

⁶ I have been weary with my sighing, I meditate through all the night [on] my bed, With my tear my couch I waste.

⁷ Old from provocation is mine eye, It is old because of all mine adversaries,

⁸ Turn from me all ye workers of iniquity, For Jehovah heard the voice of my weeping,

⁹ Jehovah hath heard my supplication, Jehovah my prayer receiveth.

¹⁰ Ashamed and troubled greatly are all mine enemies, They turn back -- ashamed [in] a moment!

6 And sons of the prophet say unto Elisha, `Lo, we pray thee, the place where we are dwelling before thee is too strait for us;

² let us go, we pray thee, unto the Jordan, and we take thence each one beam, and we make for ourselves there a place to dwell there;' and he saith, `Go.'

³ And the one saith, `Be pleased, I pray thee, and go with thy servants;' and he saith, `I -- I go.'

⁴ And he goeth with them, and they come in to the Jordan, and cut down the trees,

⁵ and it cometh to pass, the one is felling the beam, and the iron hath fallen into the water, and he crieth and saith, `Alas! my lord, and it asked!'

⁶ And the man of God saith, `Whither hath it fallen?' and he sheweth him the place, and he cutteth a stick, and casteth thither, and causeth the iron to swim,

⁷ and saith, `Raise to thee;' and he putteth forth his hand and taketh it.

¹³ `Wo to thee, Chorazin; wo to thee, Bethsaida; for if in Tyre and Sidon had been done the mighty works that were done in you, long ago, sitting in sackcloth and ashes, they had reformed;

¹⁴ but for Tyre and Sidon it shall be more tolerable in the judgment than for you.

¹⁵ `And thou, Capernaum, which unto the heaven wast exalted, unto hades thou shalt be brought down.

¹⁶ `He who is hearing you, doth hear me; and he who is putting you away, doth put me away; and he who is putting me away, doth put away Him who sent me.'
