Psalm6 NWT(2013)

To the director; to be accompanied with stringed instruments tuned to Shem′i·nith.* A melody of David.

6 O Jehovah, do not reprove me in your anger,

And do not correct me in your rage.+

2 Show me favor,* O Jehovah, for I am growing weak.

Heal me, O Jehovah,+ for my bones are shaking.

3 Yes, I am* greatly disturbed,+

And I ask you, O Jehovah—how long will it be?+

4 Return, O Jehovah, and rescue me;*+

Save me for the sake of your loyal love.+

5 For in death there is no mention* of you;

In the Grave,* who will praise you?+

6 I have grown weary with my sighing;+

All night long I soak my bed with tears;*

I flood my couch with weeping.+

7 My eye is weak from my grief;+

It has dimmed* because of all those harassing me.

8 Get away from me, all you who behave wickedly,

For Jehovah will hear the sound of my weeping.+

9 Jehovah will hear my request for favor;+

Jehovah will accept my prayer.

10 All my enemies will be put to shame and dismayed;

They will fall back in sudden disgrace.+
