1 In finem, in carminibus. Psalmus David. Pro octava. 2 Domine, ne in furore tuo arguas me, neque in ira tua corripias me. 3 Miserere mei, Domine, quoniam infirmus sum; sana me, Domine, quoniam conturbata sunt ossa mea. 4 Et anima mea turbata est valde; sed tu, Domine, usquequo? 5 Convertere, Domine, et eripe animam meam; salvum me fac propter misericordiam tuam. 6 Quoniam non est in morte qui memor sit tui; in inferno autem quis confitebitur tibi? 7 Laboravi in gemitu meo; lavabo per singulas noctes lectum meum: lacrimis meis stratum meum rigabo. 8 Turbatus est a furore oculus meus; inveteravi inter omnes inimicos meos. 9 Discedite a me omnes qui operamini iniquitatem, quoniam exaudivit Dominus vocem fletus mei. 10 Exaudivit Dominus deprecationem meam; Dominus orationem meam suscepit. 11 Erubescant, et conturbentur vehementer, omnes inimici mei; convertantur, et erubescant valde velociter.

1 Ein Psalm Davids, vorzusingen auf acht Saiten. 2 Ach, Herr, strafe mich nicht in deinem Zorn und züchtige mich nicht in deinem Grimm! 3 Herr, sei mir gnädig, denn ich bin schwach; heile mich, Herr, denn meine Gebeine sind erschrocken, 4 und meine Seele ist sehr erschrocken. Ach, du Herr, wie lange! 5 Wende dich, Herr, und errette meine Seele; hilf mir um deiner Güte willen! 6 Denn im Tode gedenkt man dein nicht; wer will dir in der Hölle danken? 7 Ich bin so müde vom Seufzen, ich schwemme mein Bette die ganze Nacht und netze mit meinen Tränen mein Lager. 8 Meine Gestalt ist verfallen vor Trauern und ist alt worden; denn ich allenthalben geängstet werde. 9 Weichet von mir, alle Übeltäter; denn der Herr höret mein Weinen, 10 der Herr höret mein Flehen, mein Gebet nimmt der Herr an. 11 Es müssen alle meine Feinde zuschanden werden und sehr erschrecken, sich zurückkehren und zuschanden werden plötzlich.
