Psalmorum 6

1 In finem, in carminibus. Psalmus David. Pro octava. [Domine, ne in furore tuo arguas me, neque in ira tua corripias me.

For the leader; with instrumental music on the sheminith. A psalm of David. Rebuke me not, Lord, in your anger, punish me not in your wrath.

2 Miserere mei, Domine, quoniam infirmus sum; sana me, Domine, quoniam conturbata sunt ossa mea.

Lord, be gracious to me in my weakness. Heal me Lord, for racked is my body;

3 Et anima mea turbata est valde; sed tu, Domine, usquequo?

all of me utterly racked. Why do you wait so long, Lord?

4 Convertere, Domine, et eripe animam meam; salvum me fac propter misericordiam tuam.

Turn, Lord, rescue me; save me, because of your love.

5 Quoniam non est in morte qui memor sit tui; in inferno autem quis confitebitur tibi? (Sheol h7585)

For in death none can call you to mind; in Sheol who can praise you? (Sheol h7585)

6 Laboravi in gemitu meo; lavabo per singulas noctes lectum meum: lacrimis meis stratum meum rigabo.

I am so weary of sighing. All the night I make my bed swim, and wet my couch with my tears.

7 Turbatus est a furore oculus meus; inveteravi inter omnes inimicos meos.

My eyes swollen with grief; from weeping caused by my foes.

8 Discedite a me omnes qui operamini iniquitatem, quoniam exaudivit Dominus vocem fletus mei.

Begone, workers of wrong, for the Lord has heard my loud weeping,

9 Exaudivit Dominus deprecationem meam; Dominus orationem meam suscepit.

the Lord has heard my entreaty, the Lord accepts my prayer.

10 Erubescant, et conturbentur vehementer, omnes inimici mei; convertantur, et erubescant valde velociter.]

My foes will be stricken with terror, brought to shame and dismay in a moment.
