Psalm 6

1 MAING, kom der kotin kaloke kin ia omui ongiong, o der kame kin ia omui ongiong lapala!

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.

2 Maing, kom kotin maki ong ia, pwe ngai me luet. Maing, kom kotin kamau ia la, Maing Ieowa, pwe ti kan me luetalar.

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

3 O ngen i waponda melel. O Maing, arai da?

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

4 Maing, kom kotin saupei dong ia, dorela ngen i. Kom kotin sauasa ia ni omui kalangan!

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

5 Pwe murin melar solar me pan tamanda komui; o is me pan kapinga komui wasan mela? (Sheol h7585)

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

6 I panga kida ai sangesang sang sautik lel mansang; i kawisokisokela ai los pil en mas ai.

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

7 Mom ai suede kilar ai insensued, o i malar, pweki kamakamasak pai me toto.

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

8 Komail aramas morsued akan karos kaiwei sang ia, pwe Ieowa kotin mangi ai sangesang.

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

9 Ieowa kotin mangi ai ngidingid, o Ieowa kotin mangier ai kapakap.

Jehovah hath heard my supplication, Jehovah my prayer receiveth.

10 Ai imwintiti karos pan namenokela o masakada melel, re pan tangwei o madang sarodi.

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