Psalmus 6, [1] 2 - 11
[1 In finem in carminibus Psalmus David Pro octava
Unto the end, in verses, a psalm for David, for the octave.]
2 Domine ne in furore tuo arguas me neque in ira tua corripias me
O Lord, rebuke me not in thy indignation, nor chastise me in thy wrath.
3 Miserere mei Domine quoniam infirmus sum sana me Domine quoniam conturbata sunt ossa mea
Have mercy on me, O Lord, for I am weak: heal me, O Lord, for my bones are troubled.
4 Et anima mea turbata est valde et tu Domine usquequo
And my soul is troubled exceedingly: but thou, O Lord, how long?
5 Convertere Domine eripe animam meam salvum me fac propter misericordiam tuam Turn to me, O Lord, and deliver my soul: O save me for thy mercy's sake.
6 Quoniam non est in morte qui memor sit tui in inferno autem quis confitebitur tibi
For there is no one in death, that is mindful of thee: and who shall confess to thee in hell?
7 Laboravi in gemitu meo lavabo per singulas noctes lectum meum in lacrimis meis stratum meum rigabo
I have laboured in my groanings, every night I will wash my bed: I will water my couch with my tears.
8 Turbatus est a furore oculus meus inveteravi inter omnes inimicos meos
My eye is troubled through indignation: I have grown old amongst all my enemies.
9 Discedite a me omnes qui operamini iniquitatem quoniam exaudivit Dominus vocem fletus mei
Depart from me, all ye workers of iniquity: for the Lord hath heard the voice of my weeping.
10 Exaudivit Dominus deprecationem meam Dominus orationem meam suscepit
The Lord hath heard my supplication: the Lord hath received my prayer.
11 Erubescant et conturbentur vehementer omnes inimici mei convertantur et erubescant valde velociter
Let all my enemies be ashamed, and be very much troubled: let them be turned back, and be ashamed very speedily
Convertere Domine,et eripe animan meam.
