Psalms 70

1 To the chief music-maker. Of David. To keep in memory. Let your salvation come quickly, O God; come quickly to my help, O Lord.

Kumqondisi wokuhlabela. ElikaDavida. Isikhalazo. Phangisa, Oh Nkulunkulu, ungisindise; Oh Thixo, woza masinyane uzongisiza.

2 Let those who go after my soul have shame and trouble; let those who have evil designs against me be turned back and made foolish.

Sengathi labo abafuna impilo yami bangayangiswa basanganiswe; sengathi bonke abafisa ukuwa kwami bangabuyiselwa emuva beyangekile.

3 Let those who say Aha, aha! be turned back as a reward of their shame.

Sengathi labo abathi kimi, “Ehe! Ehe!” bangafulathela ngenxa yehlazo labo.

4 Let all those who are looking for you be glad and have joy in you; let the lovers of your salvation ever say, May God be great.

Kodwa akuthi bonke abakudingayo bathokoze bajabule kuwe; akuthi labo abathanda insindiso yakho bahlale besithi, “uThixo kadunyiswe!”

5 But I am poor and in need; come to me quickly, O God; you are my help and my saviour; let there be no waiting, O Lord.

Ikanti ngingumyanga ngiyaswela; woza masinyane kimi, Oh Nkulunkulu. Ulusizo lwami lomkhululi wami; Oh Thixo, ungaphuzi.
