Psalms 64
1 To him that excelleth. A Psalme of David. Heare my voyce, O God, in my prayer: preserue my life from feare of the enemie.
Kumqondisi wokuhlabela. Ihubo likaDavida. Ake ungizwe, Oh Nkulunkulu, nxa ngiletha ukusola kwami; vikela impilo yami ekusongelweni yisitha.
2 Hide me from the conspiracie of the wicked, and from the rage of the workers of iniquitie.
Ngifihla emacebeni abantu ababi, kulokho kuxokozela kwezixhwali.
3 Which haue whette their tongue like a sword, and shot for their arrowes bitter wordes.
Bayazilola inlimi zabo njengezinkemba bakhombele amazwi abo njengemitshoko ebulalayo.
4 To shoote at the vpright in secrete: they shoote at him suddenly, and feare not.
Batshoka becathemele umuntu ongonanga lutho; bayaphanga ukumciba bengelavalo.
5 They encourage themselues in a wicked purpose: they commune together to lay snares priuilie, and say, Who shall see them?
Bayakhuthazana ngamacebo amabi, bakhulumisana ngokufihla imijibila yabo; bathi, “Sizabonwa ngubani?”
6 They haue sought out iniquities, and haue accomplished that which they sought out, euen euery one his secret thoughtes, and the depth of his heart.
Baceba ukona besithi, “Sesakhe icebo elihle kakhulu!” Ngempela ingqondo yomuntu lenhliziyo yakhe ilobuqili.
7 But God will shoote an arrowe at them suddenly: their strokes shalbe at once.
Kodwa uNkulunkulu uzabaciba ngemitshoko; ngokuphangisa nje bazalahlwa phansi.
8 They shall cause their owne tongue to fall vpon them: and whosoeuer shall see them, shall flee away.
Uzakwenza banyeyane bona bodwa bacine sebedilizana; bonke abababonayo bazanyikinya amakhanda babahleke.
9 And all men shall see it, and declare the worke of God, and they shall vnderstand, what he hath wrought.
Bonke abantu bomhlaba bazakwesaba; bazafakaza imisebenzi kaNkulunkulu banakane ngalokho akwenzileyo.
10 But the righteous shall be glad in the Lord, and trust in him: and all that are vpright of heart, shall reioyce.
Akuthi abalungileyo bathokoze kuThixo baphephele kuye; akuthi bonke abaqotho ngenhliziyo bamdumise.
