Psalms 6

1 For the Leader; with string-music; on the Sheminith. A Psalm of David. O LORD, rebuke me not in Thine anger, neither chasten me in Thy wrath.

Ki te tino kaiwhakatangi Nekinoto, he mea Heminiti. He himene na Rawiri. E Ihowa, kaua e whakatupehupehu mai ki ahau, ina riri koe, kaua ano ahau e pakia ina arita mai koe.

2 Be gracious unto me, O LORD, for I languish away; heal me, O LORD, for my bones are affrighted.

E Ihowa, tohungia ahau, he ngoikore hoki ahau: rongoatia ahau, e Ihowa, e ohooho ana hoki oku wheua.

3 My soul also is sore affrighted; and Thou, O LORD, how long?

E ohooho noa iho ana hoki toku wairua: ko koe ia, e Ihowa, kia pehea atu te roa?

4 Return, O LORD, deliver my soul; save me for Thy mercy's sake.

Hoki mai, e Ihowa, kia mawhiti atu toku wairua: kia mahara ki tou aroha, a whakaorangia ahau.

5 For in death there is no remembrance of Thee; in the nether-world who will give Thee thanks? (Sheol h7585)

Kahore hoki he mahara ki a koe ina mate: ko wai hei whakawhetai ki a koe i roto i te reinga? (Sheol h7585)

6 I am weary with my groaning; every night make I my bed to swim; I melt away my couch with my tears.

Mauiui iho ahau i toku auetanga; e manu ana toku moenga i ahau a pau noa te po; e whakamakukuria ana e ahau toku takotoranga ki oku roimata.

7 Mine eye is dimmed because of vexation; it waxeth old because of all mine adversaries.

Pakoko kau toku kanohi i te tangi; kua koroheke haere i oku hoariri katoa.

8 Depart from me, all ye workers of iniquity; for the LORD hath heard the voice of my weeping.

Mawehe atu i ahau, e nga kaimahi katoa i te kino; kua rongo nei hoki a Ihowa i te reo o taku tangi.

9 The LORD hath heard my supplication; the LORD receiveth my prayer.

Kua rongo a Ihowa ki taku inoi; ka manako a Ihowa ki taku karakia.

10 All mine enemies shall be ashamed and sore affrighted; they shall turn back, they shall be ashamed suddenly.

Ka whakama, ka pokaikaha noa iho oku hoariri katoa: ka hoki ratou, ka pa whakarere atu te whakama.
