Psalms 6

NEW AMERICAN BIBLE	DOUAI-RHEIMS
1 For the leader; with stringed instruments, "upon the eighth." A psalm of David.	1 Unto the end, in verses, a psalm for David, for the octave.
2 Do not reprove me in your anger, LORD, nor punish me in your wrath.	2 O Lord, rebuke me not in thy indignation, nor chastise me in thy wrath.
3 Have pity on me, LORD, for I am weak; heal me, LORD, for my bones are trembling.	3 Have mercy on me, O Lord, for I am weak: heal me, O Lord, for my bones are troubled.
4 In utter terror is my soul-- and you, LORD, how long...?	4 And my soul is troubled exceedingly: but thou, O Lord, how long?
5 Turn, LORD, save my life; in your mercy rescue me.	5 Turn to me, O Lord, and deliver my soul: O save me for thy mercy's sake.
6 For who among the dead remembers you? Who praises you in Sheol?	6 For there is no one in death, that is mindful of thee: and who shall confess to thee in hell?
7 I am wearied with sighing; all night long tears drench my bed; my couch is soaked with weeping.	7 I have laboured in my groanings, every night I will wash my bed: I will water my couch with my tears.
8 My eyes are dimmed with sorrow, worn out because of all my foes.	8 My eye is troubled through indignation: I have grown old amongst all my enemies.
9 Away from me, all who do evil! The LORD has heard my weeping.	9 Depart from me, all ye workers of iniquity: for the Lord hath heard the voice of my weeping.
10 The LORD has heard my prayer; the LORD takes up my plea.	10 The Lord hath heard my supplication: the Lord hath received my prayer.
11 My foes will be terrified and disgraced; all will fall back in sudden shame.	11 Let all my enemies be ashamed, and be very much troubled: let them be turned back, and be ashamed very speedily.
