Psalms 6 Comparison: Catholic Public Domain vs Douay-Rheims
Psalms 6
1In parts according to verses. A Psalm of David. For the octave.
2O Lord, do not rebuke me in your fury, nor chastise me in your anger.
3Have mercy on me, Lord, for I am weak. Heal me, Lord, for my bones have become disturbed,
4and my soul has been very troubled. But as for you, Lord, when?
5Turn to me, Lord, and rescue my soul. Save me because of your mercy.
6For there is no one in death who would be mindful of you. And who will confess to you in Hell?
7I have labored in my groaning. Every night, with my tears, I will wash my bed and drench my blanket.
8My eye has been troubled by rage. I have grown old among all my enemies.
9Scatter before me, all you who work iniquity, for the Lord has heard the voice of my weeping.
10The Lord has heard my supplication. The Lord has accepted my prayer.
11Let all my enemies be ashamed and together be greatly troubled. May they be converted and become ashamed very quickly.

2O Lord, rebuke me not in thy indignation, nor chastise me in thy wrath.
3Have mercy on me, O Lord, for I am weak: heal me, O Lord, for my bones are troubled.
4And my soul is troubled exceedingly: but thou, O Lord, how long?

6For there is no one in death, that is mindful of thee: and who shall confess to thee in hell?
7I have laboured in my groanings, every night I will wash my bed: I will water my couch with my tears.
8My eye is troubled through indignation: I have grown old amongst all my enemies.
9Depart from me, all ye workers of iniquity: for the Lord hath heard the voice of my weeping.
