Psalms 6

1 To the chief Musician on Neginoth upon Sheminith, A Psalm of David. O LORD, rebuke me not in thy anger, neither chasten me in thy hot displeasure.

David ƒe ha na hɛnɔ la. Woadzii ɖe kasaŋku kple seminit ŋu. O! Yehowa, mègaka mo nam le wò dziku me alo ahe to nam le wò dɔmedzoe helĩhelĩ me o.

2 Have mercy upon me, O LORD; for I am weak: O LORD, heal me; for my bones are troubled.

Yehowa, kpɔ nublanui nam, elabena nu te ŋunye. O! Yehowa, yɔ dɔm, elabena nye ƒuwo le veve sem.

3 My soul is also greatly troubled: but thou, O LORD, how long?

Nye luʋɔ le nuxaxa me. Va se ɖe ɣe ka ɣi, O! Yehowa, va se ɖe ɣe ka ɣi?

4 Return, O LORD, deliver my soul: O save me for thy mercies’ sake.

O! Yehowa, trɔ ɖe ŋunye, eye nàɖem; ɖem, le wò lɔlɔ̃ si meʋãna o la ta.

5 For in death there is no remembrance of thee: in the grave who shall give thee thanks? (Sheol h7585)

Ame aɖeke meɖoa ŋku dziwò ne eku o. Ame kae kafua wò tso eƒe yɔdo me? (Sheol h7585)

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

Mevɔ le eme keŋkeŋ le ŋeŋe ta; metsɔ aɖatsi ƒo nye aba, elabena mefa avi zã blibo la, eye nye aɖatsi wɔe be nye dɔƒe ƒo tsi belebele.

7 My eye is consumed because of grief; it groweth old because of all my enemies.

Nuxaxa na ɖeɖi te nye ŋkuwo ŋu; womegale nu kpɔm tututu o, le nye futɔwo ta.

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

Mite ɖa le gbɔnye, mi nu vlo wɔlawo, elabena Yehowa se nye avifafa.

9 The LORD hath heard my supplication; the LORD will receive my prayer.

Yehowa se ɣli si medo be wòakpɔ nye nublanui; Yehowa xɔ nye gbedodoɖa alɔ eve.

10 Let all my enemies be ashamed and greatly troubled: let them return and be suddenly ashamed.

Nye futɔwo katã ŋu akpe mi, eye miaƒe mo atsi dãa; woagbugbɔ ɖe megbe enumake kple ŋukpe.
