Psalms 16
1 Michtam of David. Preserve me, O God: for I trust in thee.
Ngilondoloza, Nkulunkulu, ngoba ngithembela kuwe.
2 Thou [my soul] hast said to Jehovah, Thou art the Lord: my goodness [extendeth] not to thee; —
Ngithe eNkosini: UyiNkosi yami, ukulunga kwami kakufiki kuwe.
3 To the saints that are on the earth, and to the excellent [thou hast said], In them is all my delight.
Kodwa kubangcwele abasemhlabeni, labahlekazi, ontokozo yami yonke ikubo.
4 Their sorrows shall be multiplied that hasten after another: their drink-offerings of blood will I not offer, and I will not take up their names into my lips.
Zizakwanda insizi zabagijimela omunye unkulunkulu; kangiyikunikela iminikelo yabo yokunathwayo yegazi; lamabizo abo kangiyikuwaphatha endebeni zami.
5 Jehovah is the portion of mine inheritance and of my cup: thou maintainest my lot.
INkosi iyisabelo selifa lami lesenkezo yami; wena uphethe isabelo sami.
6 The lines are fallen unto me in pleasant places; yea, I have a goodly heritage.
Imizila iwele kimi ezindaweni ezithokozisayo; yebo, ngilelifa elibukekayo.
7 I will bless Jehovah, who giveth me counsel; even in the nights my reins instruct me.
Ngizayibonga iNkosi engelulekayo; lebusuku izinso zami ziyangiqondisa.
8 I have set Jehovah continually before me; because [he is] at my right hand, I shall not be moved.
Ngibekile iNkosi phambi kwami njalonjalo; ngoba ingakwesokunene sami, kangiyikunyikinywa.
9 Therefore my heart rejoiceth, and my glory exulteth; my flesh moreover shall dwell in hope.
Ngakho inhliziyo yami iyathokoza, lodumo lwami luyajabula, lenyama yami izahlala ivikelekile.
10 For thou wilt not leave my soul to Sheol, neither wilt thou allow thy Holy One to see corruption. (Sheol h7585)
Ngoba kawutshiyanga umphefumulo wami esihogweni, njalo kawuyikunikela ongcwele wakho ukuthi abone ukubola. (Sheol h7585)
11 Thou wilt make known to me the path of life: thy countenance is fulness of joy; at thy right hand are pleasures for evermore.
Uzangazisa indlela yempilo; ukugcwala kwentokozo kusebukhoneni bakho, ngakwesokunene sakho kukhona izinjabulo phakade.
