(Ein Psalm Davids, vorzusingen, auf acht Saiten.) Ach HERR, strafe mich nicht in deinem Zorn und züchtige mich nicht in deinem Grimm!

HERR, sei mir gnädig, denn ich bin schwach; heile mich, HERR, denn meine Gebeine sind erschrocken,

und meine Seele ist sehr erschrocken. Ach du, HERR, wie lange!

Wende dich, HERR, und errette meine Seele; hilf mir um deiner Güte willen!

Denn im Tode gedenkt man dein nicht; wer will dir bei den Toten danken?

Ich bin so müde vom Seufzen; ich schwemme mein Bett die ganze Nacht und netze mit meinen Tränen mein Lager.

Meine Gestalt ist verfallen vor Trauern und alt ist geworden; denn ich werde allenthalben geängstet.

Weichet von mir, alle Übeltäter; denn der HERR hört mein Weinen,

der HERR hört mein Flehen; mein Gebet nimmt der HERR an.

10 Es müssen alle meine Feinde zu Schanden werden und sehr erschrecken, sich zurückkehren und zu Schanden werden plötzlich.

Psalm 6[a]

For the director of music. With stringed instruments. According to sheminith.[b] A psalm of David.

Lord, do not rebuke me in your anger(A)
    or discipline me in your wrath.
Have mercy on me,(B) Lord, for I am faint;(C)
    heal me,(D) Lord, for my bones are in agony.(E)
My soul is in deep anguish.(F)
    How long,(G) Lord, how long?

Turn,(H) Lord, and deliver me;
    save me because of your unfailing love.(I)
Among the dead no one proclaims your name.
    Who praises you from the grave?(J)

I am worn out(K) from my groaning.(L)

All night long I flood my bed with weeping(M)
    and drench my couch with tears.(N)
My eyes grow weak(O) with sorrow;
    they fail because of all my foes.

Away from me,(P) all you who do evil,(Q)
    for the Lord has heard my weeping.
The Lord has heard my cry for mercy;(R)
    the Lord accepts my prayer.
10 All my enemies will be overwhelmed with shame and anguish;(S)
    they will turn back and suddenly be put to shame.(T)

Prayer for mercy in time of trouble.

For the Chief Musician; on stringed instruments, set to [a]the Sheminith. A Psalm of David.

O Jehovah, rebuke me not in thine anger,
Neither chasten me in thy hot displeasure.
Have mercy upon me, O Jehovah; for I am withered away:
O Jehovah, heal me; for my bones are troubled.
My soul also is sore troubled:
And thou, O Jehovah, how long?
Return, O Jehovah, deliver my soul:
Save me for thy lovingkindness’ sake.
For in death there is no remembrance of thee:
In Sheol who shall give thee thanks?
I am weary with my groaning;
Every night make I my bed to swim;
I water my couch with my tears.
Mine eye wasteth away because of grief;
It waxeth old because of all mine adversaries.
Depart from me, all ye workers of iniquity;
For Jehovah hath heard the voice of my weeping.
Jehovah hath heard my supplication;
Jehovah will receive my prayer.
10 All mine enemies shall be put to shame and sore troubled:
They shall turn back, they shall be put to shame suddenly.
