Psalms 3
1 A Psalm of David, when he fled from Absalom his son. LORD, how many are mine adversaries become! Many are they that rise up against me.
Ihubo likaDavida ebalekela indodana yakhe u-Abhisalomu. Oh Thixo banengi kangaka abayizitha zami! Banengi kangaka abangihlaselayo!
2 Many there are that say of my soul: 'There is no salvation for him in God.' (Selah)
Abanengi bathi ngami, “UNkulunkulu kayikumhlenga.”
3 But thou, O LORD, art a shield about me; my glory, and the lifter up of my head.
Kodwa wena uyisihlangu sokungivikela, Oh, Thixo, inkazimulo yami, uphakamisa ikhanda lami.
4 With my voice I call unto the LORD, and He answereth me out of His holy mountain. (Selah)
Ngikhala kakhulu kuThixo uyangiphendula esentabeni yakhe engcwele.
5 I lay me down, and I sleep; I awake, for the LORD sustaineth me.
Ngilala phansi ngijumeke; ngibuye ngiphaphame, ngoba uThixo uyangilondoloza.
6 I am not afraid of ten thousands of people, that have set themselves against me round about.
Angiyikubesaba abangamatshumitshumi ezinkulungwane abangihlaselayo inxa zonke.
7 Arise, O LORD; save me, O my God; for Thou hast smitten all mine enemies upon the cheek, Thou hast broken the teeth of the wicked.
Phakama, awu Thixo Ngisindise, Oh Nkulunkulu wami. Zibethe zonke izitha zami emhlathini; akhumule amazinyo ababi.
8 Salvation belongeth unto the LORD; Thy blessing be upon Thy people. (Selah)
KuThixo kuvela insindiso. Sengathi isibusiso Sakho singaba sebantwini Bakho.
