< Psalms 6 >
1 Yahweh, do not punish me when you are angry [with me]; Do not even rebuke/scold me [when you are angry].
In finem, in carminibus. Psalmus David. Pro octava. Domine, ne in furore tuo arguas me, neque in ira tua corripias me.
2 Yahweh, be kind to me and heal me because I have become weak. My body [SYN] shakes because I am experiencing much pain.
Miserere mei, Domine, quoniam infirmus sum; sana me, Domine, quoniam conturbata sunt ossa mea.
3 Yahweh, I am greatly distressed. How long ([must I endure this/will it be before you help me]) [RHQ]?
Et anima mea turbata est valde; sed tu, Domine, usquequo?
4 Yahweh, please come and rescue me. Save me because you faithfully love me.
Convertere, Domine, et eripe animam meam; salvum me fac propter misericordiam tuam.
5 I will not be able to praise you after I die [RHQ]; No one in the place of the dead praises you. (Sheol )
Quoniam non est in morte qui memor sit tui; in inferno autem quis confitebitur tibi? (Sheol )
6 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.
Laboravi in gemitu meo; lavabo per singulas noctes lectum meum: lacrimis meis stratum meum rigabo.
7 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].
Turbatus est a furore oculus meus; inveteravi inter omnes inimicos meos.
8 You people who do evil things, get away from me!
Discedite a me omnes qui operamini iniquitatem, quoniam exaudivit Dominus vocem fletus mei.
9 Yahweh heard me when I was crying and called out to him [to help me], and he will answer my prayer.
Exaudivit Dominus deprecationem meam; Dominus orationem meam suscepit.
10 [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.
Erubescant, et conturbentur vehementer, omnes inimici mei; convertantur, et erubescant valde velociter.
