Psalms 6

1 To the Overseer with stringed instruments, on the octave. — A Psalm of David. O Jehovah, in Thine anger reprove me not, Nor in Thy fury chastise me.

Kathutkung: Devit Oe BAWIPA, lungkhuek laihoi na yue hanh, na lungphuen laihoi na yue hanh.

2 Favour me, O Jehovah, for I [am] weak, Heal me, O Jehovah, For troubled have been my bones,

Oe BAWIPA, na pahren haw. Ka tha a youn. Oe BAWIPA, na dam sak haw. Ka hrunaw teh runae a kâhmo toe.

3 And my soul hath been troubled greatly, And Thou, O Jehovah, till when?

Ka hringnae hai a ru toe. Oe BAWIPA, nâsittouh maw na ro han.

4 Turn back, O Jehovah, draw out my soul, Save me for Thy kindness' sake.

Oe BAWIPA, bout ban nateh, na rungngang haw. Oe na lungmanae hoi na rungngang haw.

5 For there is not in death Thy memorial, In Sheol, who doth give thanks to Thee? (Sheol h7585)

Bangkongtetpawiteh, duenae koehoi nang pouknae awmhoeh, apinimouh phuen koehoi lunghawinae lawk a dei han. (Sheol h7585)

6 I have been weary with my sighing, I meditate through all the night [on] my bed, With my tear my couch I waste.

Ka cingounae koe ka tâwn. Kho pei ka dai lah ka ikhun dawk ka ka teh, ka mitphi ni lahoung koung a duk sak.

7 Old from provocation is mine eye, It is old because of all mine adversaries,

Lungmathoenae kecu dawk ka mit koung a ro teh, ka tarannaw kecu dawk a mawm toe.

8 Turn from me all ye workers of iniquity, For Jehovah heard the voice of my weeping,

Payonnae kasaknaw pueng, na cettakhai awh leih. Bangkongtetpawiteh, BAWIPA ni ka kanae lawk hai a thai.

9 Jehovah hath heard my supplication, Jehovah my prayer receiveth.

BAWIPA ni ka kâheinae hah a thai toe. BAWIPA ni ka ratoumnae hah a dâw han.

10 Ashamed and troubled greatly are all mine enemies, They turn back — ashamed [in] a moment!

Ka taran pueng kaya laihoi ru awh naseh. Ban awh naseh, vaitalahoi kayak awh naseh.
