Psalms 6 — English–Hebrew Parallel

1 Yahawah (), don't yakach (rebuke) me in your ap (nostril / picture: bull snorting), neither discipline me in your chamah (wrath).

2 Have chanan (showing favor) on me, Yahawah (), for I am faint. Yahawah (), rapaa (heal) me, for my itzam (bones) are bahal (troubled).

3 My napash (soul) is also in maad (great) anguish. But you, Yahawah () —how long?

4 Shawab (turn back / repent), Yahawah (). Chalatz (deliver) my napash (soul), and yashai (salvation) me for your loving chasad (grace)’ sake.

5 For in mawath (death) there is no zakar (remember) of you. In shaawal (Sheol / afterlife), who shall give you yadah (thanks)?

6 I am yagai (weary) with my anachah (groaning). Every layal (night) I flood my matah (bed). I drench my irash (couch) with my damaih (tears).

7 My iyan (eye) wastes away because of kais (grief). It grows ithaq (old) because of all my tzarar (adversaries).

8 Sawar (depart) from me, all you pailay (workers) of awan (iniquity), for Yahawah () has shamai (hearken / hear) the qawal (sound / voice) of my bakay (weeping).

9 Yahawah () has shamai (hearken / hear) my thachanah (supplication). Yahawah () laqach (take / seize) my thapalah (prayer).

10 May all my ayab (enemy) be bawash (ashamed) and bahal (dismayed). They shall shawab (turn) back, they shall be disgraced ragai (in an instance).
