Psalms 6

1 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.

【懺悔的懇禱】 達味詩歌，交與樂官，和以絃樂，八度低音。 上主，求你不要在震怒中責罰我，不要在氣憤中懲戒我。

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

上主，我的體力衰弱，求你憐恤我；上主，我的骨骸戰慄，求你醫治我；

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

我的靈魂萬分痛苦，上主，何時才能結束？

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

上主，請你回來援助我，因了你的慈愛解救我。

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

因為，在死亡中，沒有人想念你；在陰府裏，還有誰稱頌你？ (Sheol h7585)

6 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.

我已哭泣疲憊，每天夜裏，常以眼淚浸濕我的床鋪，常以鼻涕流透我的被褥。

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

我的眼睛因憂傷而昏盲，為了仇敵眾多甚感惆悵。

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

作奸犯科的人快快遠離我，因為上主聽見了我的悲號；

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

上主俯允了我的哀告，上主悅納了我的祈禱。

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

我的仇敵必要受辱驚慌，轉瞬之間必會含羞逃亡。
