Psalms 6

1 [For the Chief Musician; on stringed instruments, upon the eight-stringed lyre. A Psalm by David.] LORD, do not rebuke me in your anger, neither discipline me in your wrath.

Kumqondisi wokuhlabela. Ngeleziginci. Kulandelwa isheminithi. Ihubo likaDavida. Oh Thixo ungangikhalimeli ngolaka lwakho njalo ungangitshayi uthukuthele.

2 Be gracious to me, LORD, for I am frail. LORD, heal me, for my bones are trembling.

Woba lomusa kimi, Thixo, ngoba ngiphela amandla; Oh Thixo, ngisilisa, ngoba amathambo ami alobuhlungu.

3 And my soul is greatly troubled. But you, LORD, how long?

Umoya wami udabukile. Koze kube nini, Oh Thixo, koze kube nini?

4 Return, LORD. Deliver my soul. Save me because of your lovingkindness.

Phenduka, Oh Thixo, ungikhulule; ngihlenga ngenxa yothando lwakho olungehlulekiyo.

5 For in death there is no memory of you. In Sheol, who shall give you thanks? (Sheol h7585)

Kakho okukhumbulayo nxa esefile. Ngubani okukhonzayo esengcwabeni lakhe? (Sheol h7585)

6 I am weary with my groaning. Every night I drench my bed; I melt my couch with my tears.

Ngikhathele ngokububula; ubusuku bonke umbheda wami uba manzi te ngikhala umendlalo wami ngiwugcwalise ngezinyembezi.

7 My eye wastes away because of grief. It grows old because of all my adversaries.

Amehlo ami ayafiphala ngenxa yosizi; ayanqundeka ngenxa yazo zonke izitha zami.

8 Depart from me, all you workers of iniquity, for the LORD has heard the sound of my weeping.

Xekani kimi lina lonke elenza okubi, ngoba uThixo usekuzwile ukulila kwami.

9 The LORD has heard my plea. The LORD has accepted my prayer.

UThixo usekuzwile ukukhala kwami ngicela umusa; UThixo uyawamukela umkhuleko wami.

10 May all my enemies be ashamed and greatly terrified. May they turn back, suddenly ashamed.

Zonke izitha zami zizayangeka zidaniswe; zizatshibilika zibuyele emuva masinyane sezilehlazo.
