Psalmorum 6

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

To the chief Musician on Neginoth upon Sheminith, A Psalm of David. O LORD, rebuke me not in thy anger, neither chasten me in thy hot displeasure.

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

Have mercy upon me, O LORD; for I am weak: O LORD, heal me; for my bones are troubled.

3 et anima mea turbata est valde: sed tu Domine usquequo?

My soul is also greatly troubled: but thou, O LORD, how long?

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

Return, O LORD, deliver my soul: O save me for thy mercies’ sake.

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

For in death there is no remembrance of thee: in the grave who shall give thee thanks? (Sheol h7585)

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

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

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

My eye is consumed because of grief; it groweth old because of all my enemies.

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

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

9 Exaudivit Dominus deprecationem meam, Dominus orationem meam suscepit.

The LORD hath heard my supplication; the LORD will receive my prayer.

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

Let all my enemies be ashamed and greatly troubled: let them return and be suddenly ashamed.
