< Psalms 6 >
1 For the music director. To be accompanied by stringed instruments, according to the sheminith. A psalm of David. Lord, please don't condemn me because you're angry with me; please don't punish me because you're angry with me!
[Rhotoeng aka mawt ham a lung rhet dongkah David Tingtoenglung] Aw BOEIPA, na thintoek neh nan tluung pawt tih, na kosi neh kai nan toel moenih.
2 Have mercy on me, Lord, for I am weak; heal me, Lord, for I am sick to the bone.
Aw BOEIPA, Kai ka thana sut dongah kai n'rhen mai. Ka rhuh a hlinghlawk dongah kai n'hoeih sak lah BOEIPA.
3 I'm shaking all over in fear. How long will it be, Lord, before you do something?
Te dongah ka hinglu loh mat let coeng. Tedae BOEIPA nang me hil nim na koe ve?
4 Turn, Lord, and rescue me! Save me because of your trustworthy love!
Aw BOEIPA, ha mael laeh. Ka hinglu he pumcum sak lamtah, na sitlohnah neh kai he n'khang lah.
5 For no one remembers you when they're dead. Who is able to praise you from the grave? (Sheol )
Dueknah khuiah nang aka poek te a om moenih. Nang te saelkhui lamkah ulong n'uem eh? (Sheol )
6 My groaning has exhausted me. Every night I soak my bed with my crying; I drench my couch with my tears.
Ka hueinah nen khaw ka kohnue coeng tih, khoyin takuem ka baiphaih dongah puet ka yoka. Te dongah ka mikphi neh ka soengca ka sulpuem sak.
7 With all my crying I can hardly see; my eyes grow weak because of the trouble my enemies cause me.
Ka mik khaw konoinah neh hmaang tih ka puencak cungkuem dongah ka haimo coeng.
8 Leave me alone, all you people who do evil, for the Lord has heard me crying!
Ka rhah ol he BOEIPA loh a yaak coeng dongah boethae aka saii boeih kai taeng lamkah nong uh laeh.
9 The Lord has heard me calling out for help; the Lord answers my prayer.
BOEIPA loh ka lungmacil a yaak tih, BOEIPA loh ka thangthuinah a doe.
10 All who hate me will be shamefully defeated and terrified; they will run away in disgrace.
Ka thunkha boeih loh yak uh saeh lamtah darhek let uh saeh. Mikhaptok ah mael uh saeh lamtah yak uh saeh.
