Psalms 130

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

Ngisenzikini ngakhalela kuwe, Nkosi.

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

Nkosi, zwana ilizwi lami, indlebe zakho zilalele ilizwi lokuncenga kwami.

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

Uba wena, Nkosi, uqaphela iziphambeko, Nkosi, ngubani ongema?

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

Kodwa kuwe kulothethelelo, ukuze wesatshwe.

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

Ngiyilindele iNkosi, umphefumulo wami ulindile, lelizwini layo ngiyathemba.

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 iNkosi okwedlula abalindele ukusa, belindele ukusa.

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

UIsrayeli kathembele eNkosini; ngoba eNkosini kulothandolomusa, njalo kuyo kulohlengo olunengi.

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

Yona-ke izahlenga uIsrayeli kuzo zonke iziphambeko zakhe.
