Psalms 30

1 I will extol thee, O Jehovah, for thou have raised me up, and have not made my foes to rejoice over me.

Ngizakuphakamisa, Nkosi, ngoba ungenyusile, njalo kawuthokozisanga izitha zami ngami.

2 O Jehovah my God, I cried to thee, and thou have healed me.

Nkosi Nkulunkulu wami, ngakhalela kuwe, wangisilisa.

3 O Jehovah, thou have brought up my soul from Sheol. Thou have kept me alive, that I should not go down to the pit. (Sheol h7585)

Nkosi, uwukhuphulile umphefumulo wami engcwabeni, ungigcinile ngiphila, ukuze ngingehleli emgodini. (Sheol h7585)

4 Sing praise to Jehovah, O ye sanctified of his, and give thanks to his holiness.

Hlabelelani eNkosini, lina bangcwele bayo, libonge ekukhunjulweni kobungcwele bayo.

5 For his anger is but for a moment. His favor is for a lifetime. Weeping may tarry for the night, but joy is in the morning.

Ngoba ukuthukuthela kwayo kungokwesikhatshana, impilo isemuseni wayo. Ukulila kungahlala kusihlwa, kanti ekuseni kulentokozo.

6 As for me, I said in my prosperity, I shall never be moved.

Mina-ke ngathi ekuphumeleleni kwami: Kangiyikunyikinywa laphakade.

7 Thou, Jehovah, of thy favor had made my mountain to stand strong. Thou hid thy face; I was troubled.

Nkosi, ngomusa wakho wenzile intaba yami iqine; wabufihla ubuso bakho, ngahlupheka.

8 I cried to thee, O Jehovah, and to Jehovah I made supplication.

Ngakhala kuwe, Nkosi; ngancenga eNkosini.

9 What profit is there in my blood when I go down to the pit? Shall the dust praise thee? Shall it declare thy truth?

Kulenzuzo bani egazini lami ekutshoneni kwami emgodini? Uthuli luzakudumisa na? Luzatshumayela iqiniso lakho yini?

10 Hear, O Jehovah, and have mercy upon me. Jehovah, be thou my helper.

Zwana, Nkosi, ube lomusa kimi; Nkosi, woba ngumsizi wami.

11 Thou have turned for me my mourning into dancing. Thou have loosed my sackcloth, and girded me with gladness,

Uphendule ukukhala kwami kwaba yikusina; ukhuphile isaka lami, wangibhincisa intokozo,

12 to the end that my glory may sing praise to thee, and not be silent. O Jehovah my God, I will give thanks to thee forever.

ukuze udumo lwami luhlabele indumiso kuwe, lungathuli; Nkosi, Nkulunkulu wami, ngizakubonga kuze kube nininini.
