Psalms 6

DOUAI-RHEIMS	NEW JERUSALEM
1 Unto the end, in verses, a psalm for David, for the octave.	1 [For the choirmaster For strings For the octachord Psalm Of David] Yahweh, let your rebuke to me notbe in anger, your punishment not in the heat of wrath.
2 O Lord, rebuke me not in thy indignation, nor chastise me in thy wrath.	2 Have pity on me, Yahweh, for I am fading away. Heal me, Yahweh, my bones are shaken,
3 Have mercy on me, O Lord, for I am weak: heal me, O Lord, for my bones are troubled.	3 my spirit is shaken to its very depths. But you, Yahweh . . . how long?
4 And my soul is troubled exceedingly: but thou, O Lord, how long?	4 Yahweh, relent and save my life rescue me because of your faithful love,
5 Turn to me, O Lord, and deliver my soul: O save me for thy mercy's sake.	5 for in death there is no remembrance of you; who could sing your praises in Sheol?
6 For there is no one in death, that is mindful of thee: and who shall confess to thee in hell?	6 I am worn out with groaning, every night I drench my pil ow and soak my bed with tears.
7 I have laboured in my groanings, every night I will wash my bed: I will water my couch with my tears.	7 My eyes waste away with vexation. Arrogance from al my foes!
8 My eye is troubled through indignation: I have grown old amongst all my enemies.	8 Away from me, al evil-doers! For Yahweh has heard the sound of my weeping,
9 Depart from me, all ye workers of iniquity: for the Lord hath heard the voice of my weeping.	9 Yahweh has heard my pleading. Yahweh wil accept my prayer.
10 The Lord hath heard my supplication: the Lord hath received my prayer.	10 Let al my enemies be put to confusion, shaken to their depths, let them retreat in sudden confusion.
11 Let all my enemies be ashamed, and be very much troubled: let them be turned back, and be ashamed very speedily.
