Psalms 86
1 A Prayer of David. Incline thine ear, Jehovah, answer me; for I am afflicted and needy.
Beka indlebe yakho, Nkosi, ungiphendule, ngoba ngingumyanga, ngiyaswela.
2 Keep my soul, for I am godly; O thou my God, save thy servant who confideth in thee.
Londoloza umphefumulo wami, ngoba ngiyamesaba uNkulunkulu; wena Nkulunkulu wami, sindisa inceku yakho ekuthembayo.
3 Be gracious unto me, O Lord; for unto thee do I call all the day.
Woba lesihawu kimi, Nkosi, ngoba ngikhala kuwe usuku lonke.
4 Rejoice the soul of thy servant; for unto thee, Lord, do I lift up my soul.
Thokozisa umphefumulo wenceku yakho, ngoba kuwe, Nkosi, ngiyawuphakamisela umphefumulo wami.
5 For thou, Lord, art good, and ready to forgive, and art of great loving-kindness unto all that call upon thee.
Ngoba wena, Nkosi, ulungile, ungothethelelayo; umkhulu emuseni kubo bonke abakubizayo.
6 Give ear, O Jehovah, unto my prayer, and attend to the voice of my supplications.
Beka indlebe, Nkosi, emkhulekweni wami; ulalele ilizwi lokuncenga kwami.
7 In the day of my distress I will call upon thee, for thou wilt answer me.
Ngosuku lokuhlupheka kwami ngizakhala kuwe, ngoba uzangiphendula.
8 Among the gods there is none like unto thee, Lord, and there is nothing like unto thy works.
Kakho ofanana lawe phakathi kwabonkulunkulu, Nkosi, njalo enjengemisebenzi yakho kayikho.
9 All nations whom thou hast made shall come and worship before thee, O Lord, and shall glorify thy name.
Izizwe zonke ozenzileyo zizakuza zikhothame phambi kwakho, Nkosi, zidumise ibizo lakho.
10 For thou art great, and doest wondrous things: thou art God, thou alone.
Ngoba wena umkhulu, wenza izinto ezimangalisayo, unguNkulunkulu wena wedwa.
11 Teach me thy way, Jehovah; I will walk in thy truth: unite my heart to fear thy name.
Ngifundisa indlela yakho, Nkosi, ngizahamba eqinisweni lakho; hlanganisa inhliziyo yami ukuze yesabe ibizo lakho.
12 I will praise thee, O Lord my God, with my whole heart; and I will glorify thy name for evermore.
Ngizakudumisa, Nkosi Nkulunkulu wami, ngenhliziyo yami yonke; ngilidumise ibizo lakho kuze kube nininini.
13 For great is thy loving-kindness toward me, and thou hast delivered my soul from the lowest Sheol. (Sheol h7585)
Ngoba umusa wakho phezu kwami mkhulu; njalo wakhulula umphefumulo wami esihogweni esingaphansi kakhulu. (Sheol h7585)
14 O God, the proud are risen against me, and the assembly of the violent seek after my soul, and they have not set thee before them.
Nkulunkulu, abazigqajayo bangivukele, lemibuthano yabalobudlwangudlwangu idinga umphefumulo wami; njalo kabakubekanga phambi kwabo.
15 But thou, Lord, art a God merciful and gracious, slow to anger, and abundant in goodness and truth.
Kodwa wena, Nkosi, unguNkulunkulu olozwelo, lolesisa, ophuza ukuthukuthela, lomkhulu emuseni leqinisweni.
16 Turn toward me, and be gracious unto me; give thy strength unto thy servant, and save the son of thine handmaid.
Phendukela kimi, ungihawukele; uyiphe inceku yakho amandla akho, usindise indodana yencekukazi yakho.
17 Shew me a token for good, that they which hate me may see it, and be ashamed; for thou, Jehovah, hast helped me and comforted me.
Ngenzela isiboniso sokuhle, ukuze labo abangizondayo babone bayangeke, ngoba wena, Nkosi, ungisizile wangiduduza.
