Psalmen 6
Schlachter 2000

Psalm 6

1 Dem Vorsänger. Mit Saitenspiel; auf der Scheminith.[a] Ein Psalm Davids.

2 Herr, strafe mich nicht in deinem Zorn,
züchtige mich nicht in deinem Grimm!

3 Sei mir gnädig, o Herr,
denn ich verschmachte!
Heile mich, o Herr,
denn meine Gebeine sind erschrocken,

4 und meine Seele ist sehr erschrocken;
und du, Herr, wie lange —?

5 Kehre doch wieder zurück[b], Herr,
rette meine Seele!
Hilf mir um deiner Gnade willen!

6 Denn im Tod gedenkt man nicht an dich;
wer wird dir im Totenreich lobsingen?

7 Ich bin müde vom Seufzen;
ich schwemme mein Bett die ganze Nacht,
benetze mein Lager mit meinen Tränen.

8 Mein Auge ist verfallen vor Kummer,
gealtert wegen all meiner Feinde.

9 Weicht von mir, ihr Übeltäter alle;
denn der Herr hat die Stimme meines Weinens gehört!

10 Der Herr hat mein Flehen gehört,
der Herr nimmt mein Gebet an!

11 Alle meine Feinde müssen zuschanden werden und sehr erschrecken;
sie sollen sich plötzlich zurückziehen mit Schanden!

Psalm 6
English Standard Version

O Lord, Deliver My Life

To the choirmaster: with stringed instruments; according to (A)The Sheminith.[a] A Psalm of David.

6 O Lord, (B)rebuke me not in your anger,
    nor (C)discipline me in your wrath.
2 Be gracious to me, O Lord, for I am languishing;
    (D)heal me, O Lord, (E)for my bones are troubled.
3 My (F)soul also is greatly troubled.
    But you, O Lord—(G)how long?

4 Turn, O Lord, deliver my life;
    save me for the sake of your steadfast love.
5 For in (H)death there is no remembrance of you;
    in Sheol who will give you praise?

6 I am (I)weary with my (J)moaning;
    every night I flood my bed with tears;
    I drench my couch with my weeping.
7 My (K)eye wastes away because of grief;
    it grows weak because of all my foes.

8 (L)Depart from me, all you (M)workers of evil,
    for the Lord (N)has heard the sound of my weeping.
9 The Lord has heard my (O)plea;
    the Lord accepts my prayer.
10 All my enemies shall be ashamed and greatly troubled;
    they shall (P)turn back and be put to shame in a moment.

A Prayer of Faith in Time of Distress

To the Chief Musician. With stringed instruments. (A)On [a]an eight-stringed harp. A Psalm of David.

6 O Lord, (B)do not rebuke me in Your anger,
Nor chasten me in Your hot displeasure.

O Lord, (C)heal me, for my bones are troubled.
3 My soul also is greatly (D)troubled;
But You, O Lord—how long?

4 Return, O Lord, deliver me!
Oh, save me for Your mercies’ sake!
5 (E)For in death there is no remembrance of You;
In the grave who will give You thanks?

6 I am weary with my groaning;
[b]All night I make my bed swim;
I drench my couch with my tears.
7 (F)My eye wastes away because of grief;
It grows old because of all my enemies.

8 (G)Depart from me, all you workers of iniquity;
For the Lord has (H)heard the voice of my weeping.
9 The Lord has heard my supplication;
The Lord will receive my prayer.
10 Let all my enemies be ashamed and greatly troubled;
Let them turn back and be ashamed suddenly.
