Psalms 30

1 A Psalm. A song for the dedication of the temple. Of David. I will exalt You, O LORD, for You have lifted me up and have not allowed my foes to rejoice over me.

Ihubo. Ingoma. Elokunikela ithempeli. ElikaDavida. Ngizakuphakamisa, Oh Thixo, ngoba wangenyula ekujuleni awaze wavumela izitha zami zijabule phezu kwami.

2 O LORD my God, I cried to You for help, and You healed me.

Awu Thixo, Nkulunkulu wami, ngacela Kuwe uncedo wangisilisa.

3 O LORD, You pulled me up from Sheol; You spared me from descending into the Pit. (Sheol h7585)

Yebo Thixo wangenyula elibeni, wangisiza ngaphepha ukungena egodini. (Sheol h7585)

4 Sing to the LORD, O you His saints, and praise His holy name.

Hlabelelani kuThixo lina bathembekileyo bakhe; dumisani ibizo lakhe elingcwele.

5 For His anger is fleeting, but His favor lasts a lifetime. Weeping may stay the night, but joy comes in the morning.

Ngoba ukuthukuthela Kwakhe ngokomzuzwana nje, kodwa umusa wakhe ukhona okwempilo yonke; ukulila kungaqhubeka ubusuku bonke, kodwa ukuthokoza kuyafika ekuseni.

6 In prosperity I said, “I will never be shaken.”

Ngathi lapho ngizizwa ngihlezi kuhle ngathi, “Kangisoze ngafa ngahlukuluzeka.”

7 O LORD, You favored me; You made my mountain stand strong. When You hid Your face, I was dismayed.

Yebo Thixo, wathi lapho ungizwela wenza intaba yami yagxila qho; kodwa kwathi lapho usufihle ubuso Bakho ngaphelelwa lithemba.

8 To You, O LORD, I called, and I begged my Lord for mercy:

Ngakhala kuwe, Thixo; ngacela umusa eNkosini:

9 “What gain is there in my bloodshed, in my descent to the Pit? Will the dust praise You? Will it proclaim Your faithfulness?

“Kulenzuzo bani ngokubhujiswa kwami na, ngokutshona kwami egodini? Kambe uthuli luzakudumisa na? Lona luzafakaza na ngokuthembeka Kwakho?

10 Hear me, O LORD, and have mercy; O LORD, be my helper.”

Zwana, Oh Thixo, ube lomusa kimi; woba lusizo lwami.”

11 You turned my mourning into dancing; You peeled off my sackcloth and clothed me with joy,

Waguqula ukububula kwami kwaba ngumgido; wangihlubula izigqoko zamasaka wangigqokisa ukuthokoza,

12 that my heart may sing Your praises and not be silent. O LORD my God, I will give thanks forever.

ukuze inhliziyo yami ikuhlabelele ingathuli. Oh Thixo, Nkulunkulu wami, ngizakubonga nini lanini.
