Psalms 59
1 Deliver me from my enemies, O my God. Set me on high from those who rise up against me.
Ngikhulula ezitheni zami, Nkulunkulu wami, ungimise ngaphezu kwabangivukelayo.
2 Deliver me from the workers of iniquity, and save me from the bloodthirsty men.
Ngikhulula kubenzi bobubi, ungisindise ebantwini abomele igazi.
3 For, lo, they lie in wait for my soul. The mighty gather themselves together against me, not for my transgression, nor for my sin, O Jehovah.
Ngoba, khangela, bacathamela umphefumulo wami; abalamandla bayangihlanganyela, kungekho siphambeko sami njalo kungekho sono sami, Nkosi.
4 They run and prepare themselves without my fault. Awake thou to help me, and behold.
Ngaphandle kwecala bayagijima bezilungisa. Vuka, ungisize, ubone.
5 Even thou, O Jehovah God of hosts, the God of Israel, arise to visit all the nations. Be not merciful to any wicked transgressors. (Selah)
Wena-ke, Nkosi Nkulunkulu wamabandla, Nkulunkulu kaIsrayeli; vuka ukuze uhambele zonke izizwe, ungahawukeli lamunye wabakhohlisayo ebubini. (Sela)
6 They return at evening. They howl like a dog, and go round about the city.
Bayabuyela kusihlwa, behlaba umkhulungwane njengenja, bezingelezela umuzi.
7 Behold, they belch out with their mouth. Swords are in their lips, for they say, Who hears?
Khangela, bempompoloza ngomlomo wabo, inkemba zisendebeni zabo, ngoba bathi: Ngubani ozwayo?
8 But thou, O Jehovah, will laugh at them. Thou will have all the nations in derision.
Kodwa wena, Nkosi, uzabahleka, uzaziklolodela zonke izizwe.
9 O my strength, I will give heed to thee, for God is my high tower.
Ngenxa yamandla akhe ngizalindela kuwe, ngoba uNkulunkulu uyinqaba yami.
10 My God with his loving kindness will meet me. God will let me look upon my enemies.
UNkulunkulu womusa wami uzangandulela; uNkulunkulu uzangenza ngibone isiloyiso sami ezitheni zami.
11 Kill them not, lest my people forget. Scatter them by thy power, and bring them down, O Lord our shield,
Ungazibulali, hlezi abantu bakithi bakhohlwe; uzizulazulise ngamandla akho, uzehlisele phansi, wena sihlangu sethu, Nkosi.
12 for the sin of their mouth, and the words of their lips. Let them even be taken in their pride, and for cursing and lying which they speak.
Ngesono somlomo wazo, ngelizwi lendebe zazo, kazibanjwe ekuzigqajeni kwazo, langenxa yokuhlambaza lokuqamba amanga ezikukhulumayo.
13 Consume them in wrath, consume them, so that they shall be no more. And let them know that God rules in Jacob, to the ends of the earth. (Selah)
Uziqede ngokuthukuthela, uziqede zingabi khona, ukuze bazi ukuthi uNkulunkulu uyabusa koJakobe, kuze kube sekupheleni komhlaba. (Sela)
14 And at evening let them return, let them howl like a dog, and go round about the city.
Kababuyele-ke kusihlwa behlaba umkhulungwane njengenja, bezingelezela umuzi.
15 They shall wander up and down for food, and tarry all night if they be not satisfied.
Bona kabazulazulele ukudla, nxa bengasuthanga kabalale.
16 But I will sing of thy strength. Yea, I will sing aloud of thy loving kindness in the morning. For thou have been my high tower, and a refuge in the day of my distress.
Kodwa mina ngizahlabelela ngamandla akho; yebo, ngizahlabelela kakhulu ekuseni ngomusa wakho; ngoba ube yinqaba yami lesiphephelo sami ngosuku lokuhlupheka kwami.
17 To thee, O my strength, I will sing praises. For God is my high tower, the God of my mercy.
Mandla ami, ngizahlabelela kuwe, ngoba uNkulunkulu uyinqaba yami, uNkulunkulu womusa wami.
