Psalms 6
1 For the Chief Musician; on stringed instruments, set to the Sheminith. A Psalm of David. O LORD, rebuke me not in thine anger, neither chasten me in thy hot displeasure.
Nkosi, ungangikhuzi entukuthelweni yakho, ungangijezisi ekuvutheni kolaka lwakho.
2 Have mercy upon me, O LORD; for I am withered away: O LORD, heal me; for my bones are vexed.
Woba lomusa kimi, Nkosi, ngoba ngibuthakathaka. Nkosi, ngisilisa mina, ngoba amathambo ami ayakhathazeka.
3 My soul also is sore vexed: and thou, O LORD, how long?
Lomphefumulo wami ukhathazekile kakhulu: Kodwa wena, Nkosi, koze kube nini?
4 Return, O LORD, deliver my soul: save me for thy lovingkindness’ sake.
Phenduka, Nkosi, khulula umphefumulo wami; ungisindise ngenxa yomusa wakho.
Ngoba ekufeni kakukho ukukukhumbula; engcwabeni ngubani ozakubonga? (Sheol h7585)
6 I am weary with my groaning; every night make I my bed to swim; I water my couch with my tears.
Ngikhathele yikububula kwami; ubusuku bonke ngintshezisa icansi lami, ngezinyembezi zami ngimanzise umbheda wami.
7 Mine eye wasteth away because of grief; it waxeth old because of all mine adversaries.
Ilihlo lami lidliwe ngenxa yosizi, liyaguga ngenxa yezitha zami zonke.
8 Depart from me, all ye workers of iniquity; for the LORD hath heard the voice of my weeping.
Sukani kimi, lonke benzi bobubi, ngoba iNkosi izwile ilizwi lokulila kwami.
9 The LORD hath heard my supplication; the LORD will receive my prayer.
INkosi izwile ukuncenga kwami; iNkosi izakwemukela umkhuleko wami.
10 All mine enemies shall be ashamed and sore vexed: they shall turn back, they shall be ashamed suddenly.
Zonke izitha zami zizayangeka zitshaywe luvalo kakhulu; zizaphenduka, zihle ziyangeke.
