Psalms 30

1 A psalm of a canticle, at the dedication of David’s house. I will extol thee, O Lord, for thou hast upheld me: and hast not made my enemies to rejoice over me.

Ihubo. Ingoma. Elokunikela ithempeli. ElikaDavida. Ngizakuphakamisa, Oh Thixo, ngoba wangenyula ekujuleni awaze wavumela izitha zami zijabule phezu kwami.

2 O Lord my God, I have cried to thee, and then hast healed me.

Awu Thixo, Nkulunkulu wami, ngacela Kuwe uncedo wangisilisa.

3 Thou hast brought forth, O Lord, my soul from hell: thou hast saved me from them that go down into the pit. (Sheol h7585)

Yebo Thixo wangenyula elibeni, wangisiza ngaphepha ukungena egodini. (Sheol h7585)

4 Sing to the Lord, O ye his saints: and give praise to the memory of his holiness.

Hlabelelani kuThixo lina bathembekileyo bakhe; dumisani ibizo lakhe elingcwele.

5 For wrath is in his indignation; and life in his good will. In the evening weeping shall have place, and in the morning gladness.

Ngoba ukuthukuthela Kwakhe ngokomzuzwana nje, kodwa umusa wakhe ukhona okwempilo yonke; ukulila kungaqhubeka ubusuku bonke, kodwa ukuthokoza kuyafika ekuseni.

6 And in my abundance I said: I shall never be moved.

Ngathi lapho ngizizwa ngihlezi kuhle ngathi, “Kangisoze ngafa ngahlukuluzeka.”

7 O Lord, in thy favour, thou gavest strength to my beauty. Thou turnedst away thy face from me, and I became troubled.

Yebo Thixo, wathi lapho ungizwela wenza intaba yami yagxila qho; kodwa kwathi lapho usufihle ubuso Bakho ngaphelelwa lithemba.

8 To thee, O Lord, will I cry: and I will make supplication to my God.

Ngakhala kuwe, Thixo; ngacela umusa eNkosini:

9 What profit is there in my blood, whilst I go down to corruption? Shall dust confess to thee, or declare thy truth?

“Kulenzuzo bani ngokubhujiswa kwami na, ngokutshona kwami egodini? Kambe uthuli luzakudumisa na? Lona luzafakaza na ngokuthembeka Kwakho?

10 The Lord hath heard, and hath had mercy on me: the Lord became my helper.

Zwana, Oh Thixo, ube lomusa kimi; woba lusizo lwami.”

11 Thou hast turned for me my mourning into joy: thou hast cut my sackcloth, and hast compassed me with gladness:

Waguqula ukububula kwami kwaba ngumgido; wangihlubula izigqoko zamasaka wangigqokisa ukuthokoza,

12 To the end that my glory may sing to thee, and I may not regret: O Lord my God, I will give praise to thee for ever.

ukuze inhliziyo yami ikuhlabelele ingathuli. Oh Thixo, Nkulunkulu wami, ngizakubonga nini lanini.
