Salme 6
1 Til Sangmesteren. Med Strengespil. Efter den ottende. En Salme af David. HERRE, revs mig ej i din Vrede, tugt mig ej i din Harme,
Yahweh, do not punish me when you are angry [with me]; Do not even rebuke/scold me [when you are angry].
2 vær mig naadig, HERRE, jeg sygner hen, mine Ledemod skælver, læg mig, HERRE!
Yahweh, be kind to me and heal me because I have become weak. My body [SYN] shakes because I am experiencing much pain.
3 Saare skælver min Sjæl; o HERRE, hvor længe endnu?
Yahweh, I am greatly distressed. How long ([must I endure this/will it be before you help me]) [RHQ]?
4 Vend tilbage, HERRE, og frels min Sjæl, hjælp mig dog for din Miskundheds Skyld!
Yahweh, please come and rescue me. Save me because you faithfully love me.
I will not be able to praise you after I die [RHQ]; No one in the place of the dead praises you. (Sheol h7585)
6 Jeg er saa træt af at sukke; jeg væder hver Nat mit Leje, bader med Taarer min Seng;
I am exhausted/groan [from my pain]. At night I cry very much, with the result that my bed and my pillow become wet from my tears.
7 mit Øje hentæres af Sorg, sløves for alle mine Fjenders Skyld.
My tears blur my eyes so much that I cannot see well. My eyes have become weak because my enemies [have caused me to cry constantly].
8 Vig fra mig, alle I Udaadsmænd, thi HERREN har hørt min Graad,
You people who do evil things, get away from me!
9 HERREN har hørt min Tryglen, min Bøn tager HERREN imod.
Yahweh heard me when I was crying and called out to him [to help me], and he will answer my prayer.
10 Beskæmmes skal alle mine Fjender og saare forfærdes, brat skal de vige med Skam.
[When that happens], all my enemies will be ashamed, and they will [also] be terrified. They will get away [from me] and suddenly [leave me] because they will be disgraced.
