Psalms 6

1 For the End, a Psalm of David among the Hymns for the eighth. O Lord, rebuke me not in thy wrath, neither chasten me in thine anger.

David ƒe ha na hɛnɔ la. Woadzii ɖe kasaŋku kple seminit ŋu. O! Yehowa, mègaka mo nam le wò dziku me alo ahe to nam le wò dɔmedzoe helĩhelĩ me o.

2 Pity me, O Lord; for I am weak: heal me, O Lord; for my bones are vexed.

Yehowa, kpɔ nublanui nam, elabena nu te ŋunye. O! Yehowa, yɔ dɔm, elabena nye ƒuwo le veve sem.

3 My soul also is grievously vexed: but thou, O Lord, how long?

Nye luʋɔ le nuxaxa me. Va se ɖe ɣe ka ɣi, O! Yehowa, va se ɖe ɣe ka ɣi?

4 Return, O Lord, deliver my soul: save me for thy mercy's sake.

O! Yehowa, trɔ ɖe ŋunye, eye nàɖem; ɖem, le wò lɔlɔ̃ si meʋãna o la ta.

5 For in death no man remembers thee: and who will give thee thanks in Hades? (Sheol h7585)

Ame aɖeke meɖoa ŋku dziwò ne eku o. Ame kae kafua wò tso eƒe yɔdo me? (Sheol h7585)

6 I am wearied with my groaning; I shall wash my bed every night; I shall water my couch with tears.

Mevɔ le eme keŋkeŋ le ŋeŋe ta; metsɔ aɖatsi ƒo nye aba, elabena mefa avi zã blibo la, eye nye aɖatsi wɔe be nye dɔƒe ƒo tsi belebele.

7 Mine eye is troubled because of my wrath; I am worn out because of all my enemies.

Nuxaxa na ɖeɖi te nye ŋkuwo ŋu; womegale nu kpɔm tututu o, le nye futɔwo ta.

8 Depart from me, all ye that work iniquity; for the Lord has heard the voice of my weeping.

Mite ɖa le gbɔnye, mi nu vlo wɔlawo, elabena Yehowa se nye avifafa.

9 The Lord has hearkened to my petition; the Lord has accepted my prayer.

Yehowa se ɣli si medo be wòakpɔ nye nublanui; Yehowa xɔ nye gbedodoɖa alɔ eve.

10 Let all mine enemies be put to shame and sore troubled: let them be turned back and grievously put to shame speedily.

Nye futɔwo katã ŋu akpe mi, eye miaƒe mo atsi dãa; woagbugbɔ ɖe megbe enumake kple ŋukpe.
