Psalms 6 in plain modern English. New Ground English Translation.

Yahweh, don't correct me in your anger — don't discipline me in your burning frustration.

Show me kindness, Yahweh — I'm falling apart. Put me back together, Yahweh — my bones are shaking.

My whole being is shaking — and you, Yahweh, how long?

Come back, Yahweh — pull me out of this. Rescue me because of your relentless love.

No one remembers you when they're dead. Who thanks you from the grave?

I'm exhausted from groaning. Every night I drench my bed — my tears soak through the sheets.

My eyes are swollen shut from grief, worn out from all the people who want me gone.

Get away from me, all of you who do harm — because Yahweh has heard me crying.

Yahweh has heard what I'm asking for. Yahweh accepts my prayer.

Every one of my enemies will be put to shame and left shaking. They'll turn back — humiliated in an instant.
