Context of Psalms 6:9
7I am worn out with my groaning. Every night I make my bed swim, drenching my pillow with my tears. 8My eyes are weakened with grief— they age because of my enemies. Away from me, all you evildoers! For Adonai heard the sound of my weeping. 10Adonai has heard my cry for mercy. Adonai accepts my prayer: 11“May all my enemies be ashamed, and stricken with terror. May they turn back in sudden disgrace.”
