Psalms 7
1 Shigaion of Dauid, which he sang unto the Lord, concerning the wordes of Chush the sonne of Iemini. O Lord my God, in thee I put my trust: saue me from all that persecute me, and deliuer me,
Ishigayoni kaDavida ayihlabelela uThixo mayelana loKhushi umBhenjamini. Oh Thixo Nkulunkulu wami, ngiphephela kuwe; ngisindisa ungikhulule kubo bonke abangizingelayo,
2 Least he deuoure my soule like a lion, and teare it in pieces, while there is none to helpe.
ngoba bazanginithiza njengesilwane bangiklebule iziqanyana kungekho ongangilamulela.
3 O Lord my God, if I haue done this thing, if there be any wickednes in mine handes,
Oh Thixo, Nkulunkulu wami, nxa ngikwenzile lokhu izandla zami zilecala,
4 If I haue rewarded euill vnto him that had peace with mee, (yea I haue deliuered him that vexed me without cause)
nxa ngenze okubi kulowo ohlalisene kuhle lami loba ngisuke ngaphanga isitha sami kungelasizatho,
5 Then let the enemie persecute my soule and take it: yea, let him treade my life downe vpon the earth, and lay mine honour in the dust. (Selah)
nxa kunjalo akuthi isitha sami singihlasele; masigxobagxobele impilo yami emhlabathini singibhuqabhuqele phansi ebhuqwini.
6 Arise, O Lord, in thy wrath, and lift vp thy selfe against the rage of mine enemies, and awake for mee according to the iudgement that thou hast appointed.
Vuka, Oh Thixo, ngolaka lwakho; vuka uvimbele ukuthukuthela kwezitha zami. Vuka, Nkulunkulu wami, memezela ukwahlulela okuhle.
7 So shall the Congregation of the people compasse thee about: for their sakes therefore returne on hie.
Akuthi abantu bebuthene bakuhanqe busa phezu kwabo usekuphakameni.
8 The Lord shall iudge the people: Iudge thou me, O Lord, according to my righteousnesse, and according to mine innocencie, that is in mee.
UThixo kahlulele bonke abantu. Ngahlulele, Oh Thixo ngokwanele ukulunga kwami, ngokwanele ubuqotho bami, wena oPhezukonke.
9 Oh let the malice of the wicked come to an ende: but guide thou the iust: for the righteous God trieth the hearts and reines.
Oh Nkulunkulu olungileyo, ohlolisisa imicabango lezinhliziyo, qeda udlakela lwababi ukuze abalungileyo bavikeleke.
10 My defence is in God, who preserueth the vpright in heart.
Isihlangu sami nguNkulunkulu oPhezukonke, osindisa abaqotho ngenhliziyo.
11 God iudgeth the righteous, and him that contemneth God euery day.
UNkulunkulu ngumahluleli olungileyo, uNkulunkulu obonisa ulaka lwakhe insuku zonke.
12 Except he turne, he hath whet his sword: he hath bent his bowe and made it readie.
Nxa umuntu engadeli ububi bakhe uzalola inkemba yakhe; uzaligoba alithiye idandili lakhe.
13 Hee hath also prepared him deadly weapons: hee will ordeine his arrowes for them that persecute me.
Usezilungisile izikhali zakhe ezibulalayo; uselungisa imitshoko yakhe evutha umlilo.
14 Beholde, hee shall trauaile with wickednes: for he hath conceiued mischiefe, but he shall bring foorth a lye.
Lowo osuthiswe ngobubi akhulelwe yikona uzala ukuphumputheka.
15 Hee hath made a pitte and digged it, and is fallen into the pit that he made.
Lowo omba umgodi awuphande uwela kulowomgodi awumbileyo.
16 His mischiefe shall returne vpon his owne head, and his crueltie shall fall vpon his owne pate.
Inkathazo ayidalileyo iyamphendukela; lesihluku sakhe sehlela phezu kwekhanda lakhe.
17 I wil praise the Lord according to his righteousnes, and will sing praise to the Name of the Lord most high.
Ngizambonga uThixo ngenxa yokulunga kwakhe; ngizahlabelela indumiso egameni likaThixo oPhezukonke.
