Psalms 5
1 To him that excelleth upon Nehiloth. A Psalme of Dauid. Heare my wordes, O Lord: vnderstande my (meditation)
Beka indlebe emazwini ami, Nkosi; unanzelele ukububula kwami.
2 Hearken vnto the voyce of my crie, my King and my God: for vnto thee doe I pray.
Lalela ilizwi lokukhala kwami, Nkosi yami loNkulunkulu wami; ngoba ngikhuleka kuwe.
3 Heare my voyce in the morning, O Lord: for in the morning will I direct me vnto thee, and I will waite.
Nkosi, ekuseni uzalizwa ilizwi lami; ekuseni ngizahlela umkhuleko wami ngakuwe, ngilinde.
4 For thou art not a God that loueth wickednes: neither shall euill dwell with thee.
Ngoba kawusuye uNkulunkulu othokoza ebubini; omubi kayikuhlala lawe.
5 The foolish shall not stand in thy sight: for thou hatest all them that worke iniquitie.
Abazikhukhumezayo kabayikuma phambi kwamehlo akho; uzonda bonke abenzi bobubi.
6 Thou shalt destroy them that speake lyes: the Lord will abhorre the bloodie man and deceitfull.
Uzababhubhisa abaqamba amanga. INkosi iyamenyanya umuntu wegazi lenkohliso.
7 But I wil come into thine house in the multitude of thy mercie: and in thy feare will I worship toward thine holy Temple.
Kodwa mina, ngizangena endlini yakho ngobukhulu besihawu sakho, ngikhothame ngikhangele ethempelini lakho elingcwele, ngokukwesaba.
8 Leade me, O Lord, in thy righteousnes, because of mine enemies: make thy way plaine before my face.
Nkosi, ngikhokhelele ekulungeni kwakho ngenxa yezitha zami, wenze indlela yakho iqonde phambi kwami.
9 For no constancie is in their mouth: within, they are very corruption: their throte is an open sepulchre, and they flatter with their tongue.
Ngoba kalikho iqiniso emlonyeni wazo, ingaphakathi yazo izinkohlakalo; umphimbo wazo ulingcwaba elivulekileyo, zibamba amehlo ngolimi lwazo.
10 Destroy them, O God: let them fall from their counsels: cast them out for the multitude of their iniquities, because they haue rebelled against thee.
Tshono uthi zilecala, Nkulunkulu, kaziwe ngamacebo azo; uzilahle ngenxa yobunengi beziphambeko zazo, ngoba zikuvukele.
11 And let all them that trust in thee, reioyce and triumph for euer, and couer thou them: and let them, that loue thy Name, reioyce in thee.
Kodwa kabathabe bonke abathembela kuwe, bamemeze kokuphela ngentokozo, ngoba ubavikele; lalabo abathanda ibizo lakho kabajabule kuwe.
12 For thou Lord wilt blesse the righteous, and with fauour wilt compasse him, as with a shielde.
Ngoba wena Nkosi, uzabusisa olungileyo, uzamhanqa ngomusa njengesihlangu esikhulu.
