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 pro octava psalmus David 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 et tu Domine usquequo

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

convertere Domine 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 in lacrimis 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
