Psalms 6

1 To the chief music-maker on corded instruments, on the Sheminith. A Psalm. Of David. O Lord, do not be bitter with me in your wrath; do not send punishment on me in the heat of your passion.

Kumqondisi wokuhlabela. Ngeleziginci. Kulandelwa isheminithi. Ihubo likaDavida. Oh Thixo ungangikhalimeli ngolaka lwakho njalo ungangitshayi uthukuthele.

2 Have mercy on me, O Lord, for I am wasted away: make me well, for even my bones are troubled.

Woba lomusa kimi, Thixo, ngoba ngiphela amandla; Oh Thixo, ngisilisa, ngoba amathambo ami alobuhlungu.

3 My soul is in bitter trouble; and you, O Lord, how long?

Umoya wami udabukile. Koze kube nini, Oh Thixo, koze kube nini?

4 Come back, O Lord, make my soul free; O give me salvation because of your mercy.

Phenduka, Oh Thixo, ungikhulule; ngihlenga ngenxa yothando lwakho olungehlulekiyo.

5 For in death there is no memory of you; in the underworld who will give you praise? (Sheol h7585)

Kakho okukhumbulayo nxa esefile. Ngubani okukhonzayo esengcwabeni lakhe? (Sheol h7585)

6 The voice of my sorrow is a weariness to me; all the night I make my bed wet with weeping; it is watered by the drops flowing from my eyes.

Ngikhathele ngokububula; ubusuku bonke umbheda wami uba manzi te ngikhala umendlalo wami ngiwugcwalise ngezinyembezi.

7 My eyes are wasting away with trouble; they are becoming old because of all those who are against me.

Amehlo ami ayafiphala ngenxa yosizi; ayanqundeka ngenxa yazo zonke izitha zami.

8 Go from me, all you workers of evil; for the Lord has given ear to the voice of my weeping.

Xekani kimi lina lonke elenza okubi, ngoba uThixo usekuzwile ukulila kwami.

9 The Lord has given ear to my request; the Lord has let my prayer come before him.

UThixo usekuzwile ukukhala kwami ngicela umusa; UThixo uyawamukela umkhuleko wami.

10 Let all those who are against me be shamed and deeply troubled; let them be turned back and suddenly put to shame.

Zonke izitha zami zizayangeka zidaniswe; zizatshibilika zibuyele emuva masinyane sezilehlazo.
