Psalms 130

1 A song of ascents. Out of the depths I cry to You, O LORD!

Ingoma yemiqanso. Ngingaphansi ekujuleni ngiyakhala kuwe, Thixo;

2 O Lord, hear my voice; let Your ears be attentive to my plea for mercy.

Thixo, zwana ilizwi lami. Indlebe zakho kazilalele ukukhala kwami ngicela umusa.

3 If You, O LORD, kept track of iniquities, then who, O Lord, could stand?

Aluba wena, Thixo ububhala phansi zonke izono, ngubani ongema na Nkosi?

4 But with You there is forgiveness, so that You may be feared.

Kodwa kuwe kulentethelelo; ngalokho uyesatshwa.

5 I wait for the LORD; my soul does wait, and in His word I put my hope.

Ngiyamlindela uThixo, umphefumulo wami uyalinda, ngibeka ithemba lami elizwini lakho.

6 My soul waits for the Lord more than watchmen wait for the morning— more than watchmen wait for the morning.

Umphefumulo wami ulindela uThixo okudlula abalindi bemelele ukusa, okudlula abalindi bemelele ukusa.

7 O Israel, put your hope in the LORD, for with the LORD is loving devotion, and with Him is redemption in abundance.

We Israyeli, beka ithemba lakho kuThixo, ngoba kuye uThixo kulothando olungaphuthiyo njalo kuye kulensindiso epheleleyo.

8 And He will redeem Israel from all iniquity.

Yena ngokwakhe uzahlenga u-Israyeli kuzozonke izono zabo.
