Psalmorum 6

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

Yahweh, do not punish me when you are angry [with me]; Do not even rebuke/scold me [when you are angry].

2 Miserere mei, Domine, quoniam infirmus sum; sana me, Domine, quoniam conturbata sunt ossa mea.

Yahweh, be kind to me and heal me because I have become weak. My body [SYN] shakes because I am experiencing much pain.

3 Et anima mea turbata est valde; sed tu, Domine, usquequo?

Yahweh, I am greatly distressed. How long ([must I endure this/will it be before you help me]) [RHQ]?

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

Yahweh, please come and rescue me. Save me because you faithfully love me.

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

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 Laboravi in gemitu meo; lavabo per singulas noctes lectum meum: lacrimis meis stratum meum rigabo.

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

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

You people who do evil things, get away from me!

9 Exaudivit Dominus deprecationem meam; Dominus orationem meam suscepit.

Yahweh heard me when I was crying and called out to him [to help me], and he will answer my prayer.

10 Erubescant, et conturbentur vehementer, omnes inimici mei; convertantur, et erubescant valde velociter.]

[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.
