Psalm 6 [MT 6]

  • Penitential
1

[For the End, a Psalm of David among the Hymns for the eighth.]

Εἰς τὸ τέλος, ἐν ὕμνοις, ὑπὲρ τῆς ὀγδόης· ψαλμὸς τῷ Δαυΐδ. -

2

O Lord, rebuke me not in thy wrath, neither chasten me in thine anger.

ΚΥΡΙΕ, μὴ τῷ θυμῷ σου ἐλέγξῃς με, μηδὲ τῇ ὀργῇ σου παιδεύσῃς με.

3

Pity me, O Lord; for I am weak: heal me, O Lord; for my bones are vexed.

ἐλέησόν με, Κύριε, ὅτι ἀσθενής εἰμι· ἴασαί με, Κύριε, ὅτι ἐταράχθη τὰ ὀστᾶ μου,

4

My soul also is grievously vexed: but thou, O Lord, how long?

καὶ ἡ ψυχή μου ἐταράχθη σφόδρα· καὶ σύ, Κύριε, ἕως πότε;

5

Return, O Lord, deliver my soul: save me for thy mercy’s sake.

ἐπίστρεψον, Κύριε, ῥῦσαι τὴν ψυχήν μου, σῶσόν με ἕνεκεν τοῦ ἐλέους σου.

6

For in death no man remembers thee: and who will give thee thanks in Hades?

ὅτι οὐκ ἔστιν ἐν τῷ θανάτῳ ὁ μνημονεύων σου· ἐν δὲ τῷ ῞ᾼδῃ τίς ἐξομολογήσεταί σοι;

7

I am wearied with my groaning; I shall wash my bed every night; I shall water my couch with tears.

ἐκοπίασα ἐν τῷ στεναγμῷ μου, λούσω καθ᾿ ἑκάστην νύκτα τὴν κλίνην μου, ἐν δάκρυσί μου τὴν στρωμνήν μου βρέξω.

8

Mine eye is troubled because of my wrath; I am worn out because of all my enemies.

ἐταράχθη ἀπὸ θυμοῦ ὁ ὀφθαλμός μου, ἐπαλαιώθην ἐν πᾶσι τοῖς ἐχθροῖς μου.

9

Depart from me, all ye that work iniquity; for the Lord has heard the voice of my weeping.

ἀπόστητε ἀπ᾿ ἐμοῦ πάντες οἱ ἐργαζόμενοι τὴν ἀνομίαν, ὅτι εἰσήκουσε Κύριος τῆς φωνῆς τοῦ κλαυθμοῦ μου·

10

The Lord has hearkened to my petition; the Lord has accepted my prayer.

ἤκουσε Κύριος τῆς δεήσεώς μου, Κύριος τὴν προσευχήν μου προσεδέξατο.

11

Let all mine enemies be put to shame and sore troubled: let them be turned back and grievously put to shame speedily.

αἰσχυνθείησαν καὶ ταραχθείησαν σφόδρα πάντες οἱ ἐχθροί μου, ἀποστραφείησαν καὶ καταισχυνθείησαν σφόδρα διὰ τάχους.
