Psalms 6

Gen Z Version

Modern paraphrase

1Yo God, don’t come at me with that anger, chill with the heat, fam.

2Have mercy on me, God; I’m down bad: heal me, my bones are stressing.

3My soul’s feeling mad heavy: but fr, how long, God?

4Come back, God, save my soul: do it for the sake of your vibes.

5In death, no one’s out here remembering you: in the grave, who’s giving you props?

6I’m tired of all this groaning; my bed’s basically a pool at night; I’m soaking my couch with tears.

7My eyes are done because of the feels; they’re aging fast from all my haters.

8Bounce from me, all you shady peeps; God heard my cries, no cap.

9God heard my prayers; He’s got my back on this one.

10Let all my enemies feel that shame and struggle: let them come back and feel it hard.

King James Version

Traditional translation

1O Lord, rebuke me not in thine anger, neither chasten me in thy hot displeasure.

2Have mercy upon me, O Lord; for I am weak: O Lord, heal me; for my bones are vexed.

3My soul is also sore vexed: but thou, O Lord, how long?

4Return, O Lord, deliver my soul: oh save me for thy mercies’ sake.

5For in death there is no remembrance of thee: in the grave who shall give thee thanks?

6I am weary with my groaning; all the night make I my bed to swim; I water my couch with my tears.

7Mine eye is consumed because of grief; it waxeth old because of all mine enemies.

8Depart from me, all ye workers of iniquity; for the Lord hath heard the voice of my weeping.

9The Lord hath heard my supplication; the Lord will receive my prayer.

10Let all mine enemies be ashamed and sore vexed: let them return and be ashamed suddenly.
