Psalms 6

1 O YHWH, rebuke me not in thine anger, neither chasten me in thy hot displeasure.

Dawid dwom. Awurade nka mʼanim wɔ wʼabufuw mu, na ntwe mʼaso nso wɔ wʼabufuwhyew mu.

2 Have mercy upon me, O YHWH; for I am weak: O YHWH, heal 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 soul is also sore vexed: but thou, O YHWH, how long?

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

4 Return, O YHWH, deliver my soul: oh save 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 grave who shall give thee thanks? (Sheol h7585)

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

6 I am weary with my groaning; all the night make I my bed to swim; I water my couch with my tears.

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

7 Mine eye is consumed because of grief; it waxeth old because of all mine enemies.

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

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

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

9 YHWH hath heard my supplication; YHWH will receive my prayer.

Awurade ate me mmɔborɔsu; Awurade tie me sufrɛ.

10 Let all mine enemies be ashamed and sore vexed: let them return and be ashamed suddenly.

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