Psalms 16
1 A Miktam of David. Preserve me, O God, for in You I take refuge.
Ngilondoloza, Nkulunkulu, ngoba ngithembela kuwe.
2 I said to the LORD, “You are my Lord; apart from You I have no good thing.”
Ngithe eNkosini: UyiNkosi yami, ukulunga kwami kakufiki kuwe.
3 As for the saints in the land, they are the excellence in whom all my delight resides.
Kodwa kubangcwele abasemhlabeni, labahlekazi, ontokozo yami yonke ikubo.
4 Sorrows will multiply to those who chase other gods. I will not pour out their libations of blood, or speak their names with my lips.
Zizakwanda insizi zabagijimela omunye unkulunkulu; kangiyikunikela iminikelo yabo yokunathwayo yegazi; lamabizo abo kangiyikuwaphatha endebeni zami.
5 The LORD is my chosen portion and my cup; You have made my lot secure.
INkosi iyisabelo selifa lami lesenkezo yami; wena uphethe isabelo sami.
6 The lines of my boundary have fallen in pleasant places; surely my inheritance is delightful.
Imizila iwele kimi ezindaweni ezithokozisayo; yebo, ngilelifa elibukekayo.
7 I will bless the LORD who counsels me; even at night my conscience instructs me.
Ngizayibonga iNkosi engelulekayo; lebusuku izinso zami ziyangiqondisa.
8 I have set the LORD always before me. Because He is at my right hand, I will not be shaken.
Ngibekile iNkosi phambi kwami njalonjalo; ngoba ingakwesokunene sami, kangiyikunyikinywa.
9 Therefore my heart is glad and my tongue rejoices; my body also will dwell securely.
Ngakho inhliziyo yami iyathokoza, lodumo lwami luyajabula, lenyama yami izahlala ivikelekile.
10 For You will not abandon my soul to Sheol, nor will You let Your Holy One see decay. (Sheol h7585)
Ngoba kawutshiyanga umphefumulo wami esihogweni, njalo kawuyikunikela ongcwele wakho ukuthi abone ukubola. (Sheol h7585)
11 You have made known to me the path of life; You will fill me with joy in Your presence, with eternal pleasures at Your right hand.
Uzangazisa indlela yempilo; ukugcwala kwentokozo kusebukhoneni bakho, ngakwesokunene sakho kukhona izinjabulo phakade.
