6:1 达味诗歌，交与乐官，和以弦乐，八度低音。
For the leader; with stringed instruments, "upon the eighth." A psalm ofDavid.I 6:2 上主，求你不要在震怒中责罚我，不要在气愤中惩戒我。
Do not reprove me in your anger, LORD, nor punish me in your wrath. 6:3 上主，我的体力衰弱，求你怜恤我；上主，我的骨骸战栗，求你医治我；
Have pity on me, LORD, for I am weak; heal me, LORD, for my bones aretrembling. 6:4 我的灵魂万分痛苦，上主，何时才能结束？
In utter terror is my soul ?and you, LORD, how long...? 6:5 上主，请你回来援助我，因了你的慈爱解救我。
Turn, LORD, save my life; in your mercy rescue me. 6:6 因为，在死亡中，没有人想念你；在阴府里，还有谁称颂你？
For who among the dead remembers you? Who praises you in Sheol?II 6:7 我已哭泣疲惫，每天夜里，常以眼泪浸湿我的床铺，常以鼻涕流透我的被褥。
I am wearied with sighing; all night long tears drench my bed; my couch issoaked with weeping. 6:8 我的眼睛因忧伤而昏盲，为了仇敌众多甚感惆怅。
My eyes are dimmed with sorrow, worn out because of all my foes.III 6:9 作奸犯科的人快快远离我，因为上主听见了我的悲号；
Away from me, all who do evil! The LORD has heard my weeping. 6:10 上主俯允了我的哀告，上主悦纳了我的祈祷。
The LORD has heard my prayer; the LORD takes up my plea. 6:11 我的仇敌必要受辱惊慌，转瞬之间必会含羞逃亡。
My foes will be terrified and disgraced; all will fall back in sudden shame.
