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.

Wɔde ma dwonkyerɛfo sɛ ɔmfa sankuhama nto wɔ Seminit nne so. Dawid dwom. Awurade nka mʼanim wɔ wʼabufuw mu, na ntwe mʼaso nso wɔ wʼabufuwhyew mu.

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

Hu me mmɔbɔ, Awurade, efisɛ meyɛ mmrɛw; Awurade sa me yare na me nnompe wɔ ahoyeraw mu.

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

Me kra wɔ ahohia mu. Enkosi da bɛn, Ao Awurade, enkosi da bɛn?

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

San bra, Awurade, na begye me nkwa; gye me, wo dɔ a enni nhuammɔ no nti.

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

Obi a wawu no renkae wo da, hena na ofi ɔda mu kamfo wo? (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.

Apinisi ama mayɛ mmerɛw. Anadwo mu nyinaa mede agyaadwotwa fɔw me mpa, na me nusu fɔw me sumii.

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

Awerɛhow ama mʼani so ayɛ me kusuu. Ɛredum; mʼatamfo nyinaa nti.

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

Mo nnebɔneyɛfo, montwe mo ho mfi me ho! efisɛ Awurade ate me sufrɛ.

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

Awurade ate me mmɔborɔsu; Awurade tie me sufrɛ.

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

Mʼatamfo nyinaa anim begu ase na wɔn ho adwiriw wɔn; na wɔapatuw de fɛre asan wɔn akyi.
