Psalms 6

1 To him that excelleth on Neginoth upon the eith tune. A Psalme of Dauid. O lord, rebuke me not in thine anger, neither chastise me in thy wrath.

Nkosi, ungangikhuzi entukuthelweni yakho, ungangijezisi ekuvutheni kolaka lwakho.

2 Haue mercie vpon me, O Lord, for I am weake: O Lord heale me, for my bones are vexed.

Woba lomusa kimi, Nkosi, ngoba ngibuthakathaka. Nkosi, ngisilisa mina, ngoba amathambo ami ayakhathazeka.

3 My soule is also sore troubled: but Lord how long wilt thou delay?

Lomphefumulo wami ukhathazekile kakhulu: Kodwa wena, Nkosi, koze kube nini?

4 Returne, O Lord: deliuer my soule: saue me for thy mercies sake.

Phenduka, Nkosi, khulula umphefumulo wami; ungisindise ngenxa yomusa wakho.

5 For in death there is no remembrance of thee: in the graue who shall prayse thee? (Sheol h7585)

Ngoba ekufeni kakukho ukukukhumbula; engcwabeni ngubani ozakubonga? (Sheol h7585)

6 I fainted in my mourning: I cause my bed euery night to swimme, and water my couch with my teares.

Ngikhathele yikububula kwami; ubusuku bonke ngintshezisa icansi lami, ngezinyembezi zami ngimanzise umbheda wami.

7 Mine eye is dimmed for despight, and sunke in because of all mine enemies.

Ilihlo lami lidliwe ngenxa yosizi, liyaguga ngenxa yezitha zami zonke.

8 Away from mee all ye workers of iniquitie: for the Lord hath heard the voyce of my weeping.

Sukani kimi, lonke benzi bobubi, ngoba iNkosi izwile ilizwi lokulila kwami.

9 The Lord hath heard my petition: the Lord will receiue my prayer.

INkosi izwile ukuncenga kwami; iNkosi izakwemukela umkhuleko wami.

10 All mine enemies shall be confounded and sore vexed: they shall be turned backe, and put to shame suddenly.

Zonke izitha zami zizayangeka zitshaywe luvalo kakhulu; zizaphenduka, zihle ziyangeke.
