Psalms 116
1 I love that the LORD should hear my voice and my supplications.
Ngiyayithanda iNkosi, ngoba izwile ilizwi lami, ukunxusa kwami.
2 Because He hath inclined His ear unto me, therefore will I call upon Him all my days.
Ngoba ibeke indlebe yayo kimi, ngakho ngizayibiza ensukwini zami.
3 The cords of death compassed me, and the straits of the nether-world got hold upon me; I found trouble and sorrow. (Sheol h7585)
Izibopho zokufa zangihanqa, lenhlungu zesihogo zangibamba; ngathola inhlupheko losizi. (Sheol h7585)
4 But I called upon the name of the LORD: 'I beseech thee, O LORD, deliver my soul.'
Ngasengibiza ibizo leNkosi, ngathi: O Nkosi, khulula umphefumulo wami.
5 Gracious is the LORD, and righteous; yea, our God is compassionate.
Ilomusa iNkosi, ilungile; ye, uNkulunkulu wethu ulesihawu.
6 The LORD preserveth the simple; I was brought low, and He saved me.
INkosi iyabalondoloza abathobekileyo; ngehliselwa phansi, yasingisindisa.
7 Return, O my soul, unto Thy rest; for the LORD hath dealt bountifully with thee.
Buyela, mphefumulo wami, ekuphumuleni kwakho, ngoba iNkosi ikuphethe ngomusa.
8 For thou hast delivered my soul from death, mine eyes from tears, and my feet from stumbling.
Ngoba ikhulule umphefumulo wami ekufeni, amehlo ami ezinyembezini, unyawo lwami ekuweni.
9 I shall walk before the LORD in the lands of the living.
Ngizahamba phambi kweNkosi emazweni abaphilayo.
10 I trusted even when I spoke: 'I am greatly afflicted.'
Ngakholwa, ngakho ngikhulumile. Mina ngahlupheka kakhulu.
11 I said in my haste: 'All men are liars.'
Mina ngathi ekuphangiseni kwami: Wonke umuntu ungumqambimanga.
12 How can I repay unto the LORD all His bountiful dealings toward me?
Ngizabuyiselani eNkosiningazo zonke inzuzo zayo kimi?
13 I will lift up the cup of salvation, and call upon the name of the LORD.
Ngizathatha inkezo yosindiso, ngibize ibizo leNkosi.
14 My vows will I pay unto the LORD, yea, in the presence of all His people.
Ngizakhokha izifungo zami eNkosini, khathesi phambi kwabantu bayo bonke.
15 Precious in the sight of the LORD is the death of His saints.
Kuligugu emehlweni eNkosi ukufa kwabangcwele bayo.
16 I beseech Thee, O LORD, for I am Thy servant; I am Thy servant, the son of Thy handmaid; Thou hast loosed my bands.
Hawu Nkosi, isibili ngiyinceku yakho, ngiyinceku yakho, indodana yencekukazi yakho; uthukulule izibopho zami.
17 I will offer to thee the sacrifice of thanksgiving, and will call upon the name of the LORD.
Ngizakuhlabela umhlatshelo wokubonga, ngibize ibizo leNkosi.
18 I will pay my vows unto the LORD, yea, in the presence of all His people;
Ngizakhokha izifungo zami eNkosini, khathesi phambi kwabantu bayo bonke,
19 In the courts of the LORD'S house, in the midst of thee, O Jerusalem. Hallelujah.
emagumeni endlu yeNkosi, phakathi kwakho, Jerusalema. Dumisani iNkosi!
