Salmos 6
Nueva Traducción Viviente

Para el director del coro: salmo de David; acompáñese con instrumento de ocho cuerdas.[a]

6 Oh Señor, no me reprendas en tu enojo
    ni me disciplines en tu ira.
2 Ten compasión de mí, Señor, porque soy débil;
    sáname, Señor, porque mis huesos agonizan.
3 Mi corazón está angustiado;
    ¿cuánto falta, oh Señor, para que me restaures?

4 Vuelve, oh Señor, y rescátame;
    por tu amor inagotable, sálvame.
5 Pues los muertos no se acuerdan de ti;
    ¿quién puede alabarte desde la tumba[b]?

6 Estoy agotado de tanto llorar.
    Toda la noche inundo mi cama con llanto;
    la empapo con mis lágrimas.
7 El dolor me nubla la vista;
    tengo los ojos gastados a causa de todos mis enemigos.

8 Váyanse, todos ustedes que hacen el mal,
    porque el Señor ha oído mi llanto.
9 El Señor ha escuchado mi ruego;
    el Señor responderá a mi oración.
10 Que todos mis enemigos sean deshonrados y aterrorizados;
    que retrocedan de golpe, avergonzados.

Psalm 6
New American Bible (Revised Edition)

Psalm 6[a]

Prayer in Distress

1 For the leader; with stringed instruments, “upon the eighth.”[b]

A psalm of David.

I

2 Do not reprove me in your anger, Lord,
    nor punish me in your wrath.(A)
3 Have pity on me, Lord, for I am weak;
    heal me, Lord, for my bones are shuddering.(B)
4 My soul too is shuddering greatly—
    and you, Lord, how long…?[c](C)
5 Turn back, Lord, rescue my soul;
    save me because of your mercy.
6 For in death there is no remembrance of you.
    Who praises you in Sheol?[d](D)

II

7 I am wearied with sighing;
    all night long I drench my bed with tears;
    I soak my couch with weeping.
8 My eyes are dimmed with sorrow,
    worn out because of all my foes.(E)

III

9 Away from me, all who do evil!(F)
    The Lord has heard the sound of my weeping.
10 The Lord has heard my plea;
    the Lord will receive my prayer.
11 My foes will all be disgraced and will shudder greatly;
    they will turn back in sudden disgrace.(G)

Footnotes

  1. Psalm 6 The first of the seven Penitential Psalms (Ps 6, 32, 38, 51, 102, 130, 143), a designation dating from the seventh century A.D. for Psalms suitable to express repentance. The psalmist does not, as in many laments, claim to be innocent but appeals to God’s mercy (Ps 6:5). Sin here, as often in the Bible, is both the sinful act and its injurious consequences; here it is physical sickness (Ps 6:3–4, 7–8) and the attacks of enemies (Ps 6:8, 9, 11). The psalmist prays that the effects of personal and social sin be taken away.
  2. 6:1 Upon the eighth: apparently a musical notation, now lost.
  3. 6:4 How long?: elliptical for “How long will it be before you answer my prayer?” cf. Ps 13:2–3.
  4. 6:6 A motive for God to preserve the psalmist from death: in the shadowy world of the dead no one offers you praise. Sheol is the biblical term for the underworld where the insubstantial souls of dead human beings dwelt. It was similar to the Hades of Greek and Latin literature. In the second century B.C., biblical books begin to speak positively of life with God after death (Dn 12:1–3; Wis 3).
