The psalm is a penitential prayer in which the speaker, afflicted and near death, begs God to relent from punishing him in anger, heal his physical and spiritual anguish, and spare his life. A distinctive theological argument appears in verse 5/6: the psalmist urges God to save him precisely because the dead cannot praise God \u2014 making his survival instrumentally valuable to divine worship. The poem moves from raw lament (weeping all night, eyes wasted with grief, surrounded by enemies) to sudden confidence that God has heard the prayer, closing with a curse on the enemies' shame. The parallel-column format makes this a scholarly or devotional resource for comparing manuscript traditions and translation choices across the major textual witnesses to the Hebrew Bible.","tags":["Book of Acts","Greek New Testament","Polyglot Bible"],"text":null,"title":"Polyglot Bible: Psalms: Psalms 6","tradition":"Hypertext Bible","translated_text":null,"word_count":580}
