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 music-maker on corded instruments, on the Sheminith. A Psalm. Of David. O Lord, do not be bitter with me in your wrath; do not send punishment on me in the heat of your passion.

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

Have mercy on me, O Lord, for I am wasted away: make me well, for even my bones are troubled.

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

My soul is in bitter trouble; and you, O Lord, how long?

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

Come back, O Lord, make my soul free; O give me salvation because of your mercy.

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

For in death there is no memory of you; in the underworld who will give you praise? (Sheol h7585)

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

The voice of my sorrow is a weariness to me; all the night I make my bed wet with weeping; it is watered by the drops flowing from my eyes.

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

My eyes are wasting away with trouble; they are becoming old because of all those who are against me.

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

Go from me, all you workers of evil; for the Lord has given ear to the voice of my weeping.

9 Exaudivit Dominus deprecationem meam, Dominus orationem meam suscepit.

The Lord has given ear to my request; the Lord has let my prayer come before him.

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

Let all those who are against me be shamed and deeply troubled; let them be turned back and suddenly put to shame.
