Psalms 130

1 A Song of the going up. Out of the deep have I sent up my cry to you, O Lord.

Ingoma yemiqanso. Ngingaphansi ekujuleni ngiyakhala kuwe, Thixo;

2 Lord, let my voice come before you: let your ears be awake to the voice of my prayer.

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

3 O Jah, if you took note of every sin, who would go free?

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

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

Kodwa kuwe kulentethelelo; ngalokho uyesatshwa.

5 I am waiting for the Lord, my soul is waiting for him, and my hope is in his word.

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

6 My soul is watching for the Lord more than those who are watching for the morning; yes, more than the watchers for the morning.

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

7 O Israel, have hope in the Lord; for with the Lord is mercy and full salvation.

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

8 And he will make Israel free from all his sins.

Yena ngokwakhe uzahlenga u-Israyeli kuzozonke izono zabo.
