Tehillim 6 - Chapter 6 - Psalm 6

Lamnatsêach binguinot al hasheminit mizmor ledavid
Adonai al beapechá tochichêni, veal bachamatechá teiasserêni
Chonênu Adonai, ki umlal áni, refaêni Adonai, ki niv’halu atsamai
Venafshi niv’halá meod, veata Adonai ad matai
Shuva Adonai, chaletsá nafshi, hoshiêni lemaan chasdêcha
Ki en bamávet zich’rêcha, bisheol mi iode lach
Iagáti veanchati, as’che vechol laila mitati, bedim’ati arsi amsê
Ashesha micáas eni, ateca bechol tsorerai
Súru mimeni col pôale áven, ki shamá Adonai col bichyi
Shamá Adonai techinati, Adonai tefilati yicach
Ievôshu veyibahalu meod col oievai, iashúvu ievôshu rága

1. To the chief Musician for stringed instruments, according to the Sheminith, a psalm of David.
2. O Lord, do not rebuke me in your anger, nor chasten me in your hot displeasure.
3. Have mercy upon me, O Lord; for I am weak; O Lord, heal me; for my bones shudder.
4. My soul is also much troubled. And you, O Lord, how long?
5. Return, O Lord, deliver my soul. Oh save me for the sake of your loving kindness!
6. For in death there is no remembrance of you. In Sheol who shall give you thanks?
7. I am weary with my moaning; all night I make my bed swim; I drench my couch with my tears.
8. My eye wastes away because of grief; it grows weak because of all my enemies.
9. Depart from me, all you evil doers; for the Lord has heard the voice of my weeping.
10. The Lord has heard my supplication; the Lord will receive my prayer.
11. Let all my enemies be ashamed and much troubled; let them return and be ashamed in a moment.

For Illness in the Eye

This is an awe-inspiring prayer for one who is ill, to pray that God heal him, body and soul. An ailing person who offers this prayer devoutly and with a broken heart is assured that God will accept his prayer.
