Psalms-Chapter 6

1 To the Chief Musician. With stringed instruments. On an eight-stringed harp. A Psalm of David.

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

2 O LORD, do not rebuke me in Your anger, Nor chasten me in Your hot displeasure.

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

3 Have mercy on me, O LORD, for I am weak; O LORD, heal me, for my bones are troubled.

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

4 My soul also is greatly troubled; But You, O LORD—how long?

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

5 Return, O LORD, deliver me! Oh, save me for Your mercies’ sake!

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

6 For in death there is no remembrance of You; In the grave who will give You thanks?

6 ὅτι οὐκ ἔστιν ἐν τῷ θανάτῳ ὁ μνημονεύων σου· ἐν δὲ τῷ ¨„δῃ τίς ἐξομολογήσεταί σοι;

7 I am weary with my groaning; All night I make my bed swim; I drench my couch with my tears.

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

8 My eye wastes away because of grief; It grows old because of all my enemies.

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

9 Depart from me, all you workers of iniquity; For the LORD has heard the voice of my weeping.

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

10 The LORD has heard my supplication; The LORD will receive my prayer.

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

11 Let all my enemies be ashamed and greatly troubled; Let them turn back and be ashamed suddenly.

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