Psalms 6

1 For the music director. To be accompanied by stringed instruments, according to the sheminith. A psalm of David. Lord, please don't condemn me because you're angry with me; please don't punish me because you're angry with me!

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

2 Have mercy on me, Lord, for I am weak; heal me, Lord, for I am sick to the bone.

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

3 I'm shaking all over in fear. How long will it be, Lord, before you do something?

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

4 Turn, Lord, and rescue me! Save me because of your trustworthy love!

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

5 For no one remembers you when they're dead. Who is able to praise you from the grave? (Sheol h7585)

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

6 My groaning has exhausted me. Every night I soak my bed with my crying; I drench my couch with my tears.

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

7 With all my crying I can hardly see; my eyes grow weak because of the trouble my enemies cause me.

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

8 Leave me alone, all you people who do evil, for the Lord has heard me crying!

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

9 The Lord has heard me calling out for help; the Lord answers my prayer.

Exaudivit Dominus deprecationem meam, Dominus orationem meam suscepit.

10 All who hate me will be shamefully defeated and terrified; they will run away in disgrace.

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