Psalms 6

1 To him that excelleth on Neginoth upon the eith tune. A Psalme of Dauid. O lord, rebuke me not in thine anger, neither chastise me in thy wrath.

Wɔde ma dwonkyerɛfo sɛ ɔmfa sankuhama nto wɔ Seminit nne so. Dawid dwom. Awurade nka mʼanim wɔ wʼabufuw mu, na ntwe mʼaso nso wɔ wʼabufuwhyew mu.

2 Haue mercie vpon me, O Lord, for I am weake: O Lord heale me, for my bones are vexed.

Hu me mmɔbɔ, Awurade, efisɛ meyɛ mmrɛw; Awurade sa me yare na me nnompe wɔ ahoyeraw mu.

3 My soule is also sore troubled: but Lord how long wilt thou delay?

Me kra wɔ ahohia mu. Enkosi da bɛn, Ao Awurade, enkosi da bɛn?

4 Returne, O Lord: deliuer my soule: saue me for thy mercies sake.

San bra, Awurade, na begye me nkwa; gye me, wo dɔ a enni nhuammɔ no nti.

5 For in death there is no remembrance of thee: in the graue who shall prayse thee? (Sheol h7585)

Obi a wawu no renkae wo da, hena na ofi ɔda mu kamfo wo? (Sheol h7585)

6 I fainted in my mourning: I cause my bed euery night to swimme, and water my couch with my teares.

Apinisi ama mayɛ mmerɛw. Anadwo mu nyinaa mede agyaadwotwa fɔw me mpa, na me nusu fɔw me sumii.

7 Mine eye is dimmed for despight, and sunke in because of all mine enemies.

Awerɛhow ama mʼani so ayɛ me kusuu. Ɛredum; mʼatamfo nyinaa nti.

8 Away from mee all ye workers of iniquitie: for the Lord hath heard the voyce of my weeping.

Mo nnebɔneyɛfo, montwe mo ho mfi me ho! efisɛ Awurade ate me sufrɛ.

9 The Lord hath heard my petition: the Lord will receiue my prayer.

Awurade ate me mmɔborɔsu; Awurade tie me sufrɛ.

10 All mine enemies shall be confounded and sore vexed: they shall be turned backe, and put to shame suddenly.

Mʼatamfo nyinaa anim begu ase na wɔn ho adwiriw wɔn; na wɔapatuw de fɛre asan wɔn akyi.
