Psalms 6

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

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

2 Pity me, O Lord; for I am weak: heal me, O Lord; 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 also is grievously vexed: but you, O Lord, how long?

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Awurade ate me mmɔborɔsu; Awurade tie me sufrɛ.

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

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