Psalms 3
1 A Psalm of David, when he fled from Absalom his son. Jehovah, how are mine adversaries increased! Many are they that rise up against me.
Ihubo likaDavida ebalekela indodana yakhe u-Abhisalomu. Oh Thixo banengi kangaka abayizitha zami! Banengi kangaka abangihlaselayo!
2 Many there are that say of my soul, There is no help for him in God. (Selah)
Abanengi bathi ngami, “UNkulunkulu kayikumhlenga.”
3 But thou, O Jehovah, art a shield about me; My glory, and the lifter up of my head.
Kodwa wena uyisihlangu sokungivikela, Oh, Thixo, inkazimulo yami, uphakamisa ikhanda lami.
4 I cry unto Jehovah with my voice, And he answereth me out of his holy hill. (Selah)
Ngikhala kakhulu kuThixo uyangiphendula esentabeni yakhe engcwele.
5 I laid me down and slept; I awaked; for Jehovah sustaineth me.
Ngilala phansi ngijumeke; ngibuye ngiphaphame, ngoba uThixo uyangilondoloza.
6 I will not be afraid of ten thousands of the people That have set themselves against me round about.
Angiyikubesaba abangamatshumitshumi ezinkulungwane abangihlaselayo inxa zonke.
7 Arise, O Jehovah; save me, O my God: For thou hast smitten all mine enemies upon the cheek bone; Thou hast broken the teeth of the wicked.
Phakama, awu Thixo Ngisindise, Oh Nkulunkulu wami. Zibethe zonke izitha zami emhlathini; akhumule amazinyo ababi.
8 Salvation belongeth unto Jehovah: Thy blessing be upon thy people. (Selah)
KuThixo kuvela insindiso. Sengathi isibusiso Sakho singaba sebantwini Bakho.
