Psalmorum 6

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

“For the leader of the music; to be accompanied with stringed instruments; to the octave. A psalm of David.” O LORD! rebuke me not in thine anger; Chasten me not in thy hot displeasure!

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

Have pity upon me, O LORD! for I am weak; Heal me, O LORD! for my bones tremble!

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

My soul, also, is sore troubled; And thou, O LORD! how long—?

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

Return, O LORD! and deliver me; Oh, save me according to thy mercy!

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

For in death no praise is given to thee; In the underworld who can give thee thanks? (Sheol h7585)

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

I am weary with my groaning; All the night I make my bed to swim, And drench my couch with my tears.

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

Mine eye is wasted with grief; It hath become old because of all my enemies.

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

Depart from me, all ye that do iniquity; For the LORD heareth the voice of my weeping.

9 Exaudivit Dominus deprecationem meam; Dominus orationem meam suscepit.

The LORD heareth my supplication; The LORD accepteth my prayer.

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

All my enemies shall be ashamed and utterly confounded; They shall be turned back, and put to shame suddenly.
