Psalms 6

CATHOLIC PUBLIC DOMAIN	NEW AMERICAN BIBLE
1 In parts according to verses. A Psalm of David. For the octave.	1 For the leader; with stringed instruments, "upon the eighth." A psalm of David.
2 O Lord, do not rebuke me in your fury, nor chastise me in your anger.	2 Do not reprove me in your anger, LORD, nor punish me in your wrath.
3 Have mercy on me, Lord, for I am weak. Heal me, Lord, for my bones have become disturbed,	3 Have pity on me, LORD, for I am weak; heal me, LORD, for my bones are trembling.
4 and my soul has been very troubled. But as for you, Lord, when?	4 In utter terror is my soul-- and you, LORD, how long...?
5 Turn to me, Lord, and rescue my soul. Save me because of your mercy.	5 Turn, LORD, save my life; in your mercy rescue me.
6 For there is no one in death who would be mindful of you. And who will confess to you in Hell?	6 For who among the dead remembers you? Who praises you in Sheol?
7 I have labored in my groaning. Every night, with my tears, I will wash my bed and drench my blanket.	7 I am wearied with sighing; all night long tears drench my bed; my couch is soaked with weeping.
8 My eye has been troubled by rage. I have grown old among all my enemies.	8 My eyes are dimmed with sorrow, worn out because of all my foes.
9 Scatter before me, all you who work iniquity, for the Lord has heard the voice of my weeping.	9 Away from me, all who do evil! The LORD has heard my weeping.
10 The Lord has heard my supplication. The Lord has accepted my prayer.	10 The LORD has heard my prayer; the LORD takes up my plea.
11 Let all my enemies be ashamed and together be greatly troubled. May they be converted and become ashamed very quickly.	11 My foes will be terrified and disgraced; all will fall back in sudden shame.
