Psalms 5
1 Unto the end, for her that obtaineth the inheritance. A psalm of David. Give ear, O Lord, to my words, understand my cry.
Beka indlebe emazwini ami, Nkosi; unanzelele ukububula kwami.
2 Hearken to the voice of my prayer, O my King and my God.
Lalela ilizwi lokukhala kwami, Nkosi yami loNkulunkulu wami; ngoba ngikhuleka kuwe.
3 For to thee will I pray: O Lord, in the morning thou shalt hear my voice.
Nkosi, ekuseni uzalizwa ilizwi lami; ekuseni ngizahlela umkhuleko wami ngakuwe, ngilinde.
4 In the morning I will stand before thee, and will see: because thou art not a God that willest iniquity.
Ngoba kawusuye uNkulunkulu othokoza ebubini; omubi kayikuhlala lawe.
5 Neither shall the wicked dwell near thee: nor shall the unjust abide before thy eyes.
Abazikhukhumezayo kabayikuma phambi kwamehlo akho; uzonda bonke abenzi bobubi.
6 Thou hatest all the workers of iniquity: Thou wilt destroy all that speak a lie. The bloody and the deceitful man the Lord will abhor.
Uzababhubhisa abaqamba amanga. INkosi iyamenyanya umuntu wegazi lenkohliso.
7 But as for me in the multitude of thy mercy, I will come into thy house; I will worship towards thy holy temple, in thy fear.
Kodwa mina, ngizangena endlini yakho ngobukhulu besihawu sakho, ngikhothame ngikhangele ethempelini lakho elingcwele, ngokukwesaba.
8 Conduct me, O Lord, in thy justice: because of my enemies, direct my way in thy sight.
Nkosi, ngikhokhelele ekulungeni kwakho ngenxa yezitha zami, wenze indlela yakho iqonde phambi kwami.
9 For there is no truth in their mouth; their heart is vain.
Ngoba kalikho iqiniso emlonyeni wazo, ingaphakathi yazo izinkohlakalo; umphimbo wazo ulingcwaba elivulekileyo, zibamba amehlo ngolimi lwazo.
10 Their throat is an open sepulchre: they dealt deceitfully with their tongues: judge them, O God. Let them fall from their devices: according to the multitude of their wickedness cast them out: for they have provoked thee, O Lord.
Tshono uthi zilecala, Nkulunkulu, kaziwe ngamacebo azo; uzilahle ngenxa yobunengi beziphambeko zazo, ngoba zikuvukele.
11 But let all them be glad that hope in thee: they shall rejoice for ever, and thou shalt dwell in them. And all they that love thy name shall glory in thee:
Kodwa kabathabe bonke abathembela kuwe, bamemeze kokuphela ngentokozo, ngoba ubavikele; lalabo abathanda ibizo lakho kabajabule kuwe.
12 For thou wilt bless the just. O Lord, thou hast crowned us, as with a shield of thy good will.
Ngoba wena Nkosi, uzabusisa olungileyo, uzamhanqa ngomusa njengesihlangu esikhulu.
