Psalms 62

1 Unto the end. For Jeduthun. A Psalm of David. Will my soul not be subject to God? For from him is my salvation.

Ngoqotho, umphefumulo wami uyamlindela uNkulunkulu ngokuthula; luvela kuye usindiso lwami.

2 Yes, he himself is my God and my salvation. He is my supporter; I will be moved no more.

Nguye kuphela olidwala lami losindiso lwami, inqaba yami; kangiyikunyikinywa kakhulu.

3 How is it that you rush against a man? Every one of you puts to death, as if you were pulling down a ruined wall, leaning over and falling apart.

Koze kube nini liceba ububi limelene lomuntu? Lonke lizabulawa, njengomduli otshekileyo, uthango oludilikayo.

4 So, truly, they intended to reject my price. I ran in thirst. They blessed with their mouth and cursed with their heart.

Baceba kuphela ukumwisa ekuphakameni kwakhe, bathokoza ngamanga; ngomlomo wabo bayabusisa, kodwa ngaphakathi kwabo bayathuka. (Sela)

5 Yet, truly, my soul will be subject to God. For from him is my patience.

Mphefumulo wami, lindela ngokuthula kuNkulunkulu kuphela; ngoba ithemba lami livela kuye.

6 For he is my God and my Savior. He is my helper; I will not be expelled.

Nguye kuphela olidwala lami losindiso lwami, inqaba yami; kangiyikunyikinywa.

7 In God is my salvation and my glory. He is the God of my help, and my hope is in God.

LukuNkulunkulu usindiso lwami lodumo lwami, idwala lamandla ami, isiphephelo sami, kukuNkulunkulu.

8 All peoples gathered together: trust in him. Pour out your hearts in his sight. God is our helper for eternity.

Thembani kuye isikhathi sonke, lina bantu; lithulule inhliziyo yenu phambi kwakhe; uNkulunkulu uyisiphephelo sethu. (Sela)

9 So, truly, the sons of men are untrustworthy. The sons of men are liars in the scales, so that, by emptiness, they may deceive among themselves.

Ngoqotho, abantukazana bayize, izikhulu ziyinkohliso; esilinganisweni balula kuleze bebonke.

10 Do not trust in iniquity, and do not desire plunder. If riches flow toward you, do not be willing to set your heart on them.

Lingathembeli embandezelweni, lingamisi ithemba eliyize ekuphangeni; uba inotho isanda, lingabeki inhliziyo kuyo.

11 God has spoken once. I have heard two things: that power belongs to God,

UNkulunkulu ukhulumile kwaba kanye, ngikuzwile lokhu kabili, ukuthi amandla angakaNkulunkulu.

12 and that mercy belongs to you, O Lord. For you will repay each one according to his works.

Lomusa ungowakho, Nkosi; ngoba wena uyamphindisela wonke umuntu njengokomsebenzi wakhe.
