患难中祈求怜悯

大卫的诗,交给乐长,弦乐器伴奏。

耶和华啊,
求你不要在怒中责备我,
不要在烈怒中惩罚我。
耶和华啊,求你怜悯,
因为我软弱无力。
耶和华啊,求你医治,
因为我痛彻入骨。
我心中忧伤,
耶和华啊,
你要我忧伤到何时呢?
耶和华啊,求你回来救我,
因你的慈爱而拯救我。
因为死去的人不会记得你,
谁会在阴间赞美你呢?
我因哀叹心力交瘁,
夜夜哭泣,泪漂床榻,
湿透被褥。
我的眼睛因忧愁而模糊,
因敌人的攻击而昏花。
你们所有作恶的人,快走开!
因为耶和华已经听见我的哭声。
耶和华听见了我的恳求,
祂必答应我的祷告。
10 我所有的仇敌都必羞愧,
惊恐不已;
他们必忽然蒙羞,
掉头逃窜。

Psalm 6

For the choir director: A psalm of David, to be accompanied by an eight-stringed instrument.[a]

O Lord, don’t rebuke me in your anger
    or discipline me in your rage.
Have compassion on me, Lord, for I am weak.
    Heal me, Lord, for my bones are in agony.
I am sick at heart.
    How long, O Lord, until you restore me?

Return, O Lord, and rescue me.
    Save me because of your unfailing love.
For the dead do not remember you.
    Who can praise you from the grave?[b]

I am worn out from sobbing.
    All night I flood my bed with weeping,
    drenching it with my tears.
My vision is blurred by grief;
    my eyes are worn out because of all my enemies.

Go away, all you who do evil,
    for the Lord has heard my weeping.
The Lord has heard my plea;
    the Lord will answer my prayer.
10 May all my enemies be disgraced and terrified.
    May they suddenly turn back in shame.

Psalm 6

For the choir director; with stringed instruments, on the sheminith;[a] a psalm by David.

O Yahweh, do not punish me in your anger
    or discipline me in your rage.
Have pity on me, O Yahweh, because I am weak.
    Heal me, O Yahweh, because my bones shake with terror.
My soul has been deeply shaken with terror.
    But you, O Yahweh, how long . . . ?

Come back, O Yahweh.
    Rescue me.
    Save me because of your mercy!
In death, no one remembers you.
    In the grave, who praises you?

I am worn out from my groaning.
    My eyes flood my bed every night.
    I soak my couch with tears.
My eyes blur from grief.
    They fail because of my enemies.

Get away from me, all you troublemakers,
    because Yahweh has heard the sound of my crying.
        Yahweh has heard my plea for mercy.
        Yahweh accepts my prayer.
10 All my enemies will be put to shame and deeply shaken with terror.
    In a moment they will retreat and be put to shame.
