Psalms 6:8

6:8 Turn back from me, all you who behave wickedly, ¹ 

for the Lord has heard the sound of my weeping! ² 

¹ tn Heb “all [you] workers of wickedness.” See Ps 5:5.

² sn The Lord has heard. The psalmist’s mood abruptly changes because the Lord responded positively to the lament and petition of vv. 1-7 and promised him deliverance.
