This OET Readers’ Version was designed to be used with the Literal Version alongside, so you won’t get the best understanding from this single viewpoint. This is still an early look into the drafted text of the Open English Translation of the Bible. Please double-check the text in advance before using in public.

A prayer in time of distress

Psa 6:1–10

6  A song by David for the singing director to be accompanied by the eight-stringed instrument.

1 Yahweh, don’t rebuke me in your anger,[ref]

≈ or discipline me in your rage.

2 Be gracious to me, Yahweh, because I’m frail.

≈ Heal me, Yahweh, because my bones are aching.

3 I’m emotionally distressed.

How much longer, Yahweh?


4 Turn around, Yahweh, and save my life

to demonstrate your loyal commitment.

5 Once we’re dead we can’t honour you.

Who will give thanks to you from Sheol?


6 I’m worn out from groaning.

Every night I make my bed swim with my tears.

I melt away on my couch.

7 I can barely open my eyes because of my grief.

My enemies make me weak with grief.


8 Keep away from me, all you who do evil things,[ref]

because Yahweh has heard the sound of my weeping.

9 Yahweh has heard my requests—

≈ Yahweh will answer my prayer.

10 Let my enemies be shamed and severely dismayed.

Let them retreat and feel ashamed for a while.
