Psalms 36

1 For the Leader. A Psalm of David the servant of the LORD. Transgression speaketh to the wicked, methinks — there is no fear of God before his eyes.

Kumqondisi wokuhlabela. ElikaDavida inceku kaThixo. Ngilenkinga enhliziyweni yami mayelana lokuxhwala kwesigangi: Kakukho ukwesaba uNkulunkulu engqondweni yaso.

2 For it flattereth him in his eyes, until his iniquity be found, and he be hated.

Phela kweyaso ingqondo siyazikhohlisa size sehluleke ukubona kumbe ukuzonda isono saso.

3 The words of his mouth are iniquity and deceit; he hath left off to be wise, to do good.

Amazwi omlomo waso abolile alenkohliso; kasiselakho ukuhlakanipha lokulunga.

4 He deviseth iniquity upon his bed; he setteth himself in a way that is not good; he abhorreth not evil.

Kwala loba silele siceba ububi; sizinikela endleleni yobubi njalo kasikulahli okubi.

5 Thy lovingkindness, O LORD, is in the heavens; Thy faithfulness reacheth unto the skies.

Uthando Lwakho, Thixo, lufika emazulwini, ukuthembeka Kwakho esibhakabhakeni.

6 Thy righteousness is like the mighty mountains; Thy judgments are like the great deep; man and beast Thou preservest, O LORD.

Ukulunga Kwakho kunjengezintaba ezesabekayo, ukwahlulela kuhle Kwakho njengolwandle olukhulu. Oh Thixo, uyamlondoloza umuntu kanye lenyamazana.

7 How precious is Thy lovingkindness, O God! and the children of men take refuge in the shadow of Thy wings.

Luligugu elinganani uthando Lwakho olungaphuthiyo, Oh Nkulunkulu! Bonke abantu bazuza isiphephelo emthunzini wamaphiko Akho.

8 They are abundantly satisfied with the fatness of Thy house; and Thou makest them drink of the river of Thy pleasures.

Bayazitika ngokudla okunengi endlini Yakho; ubapha okunathwayo okwemfuleni wakho wokuthokoza.

9 For with Thee is the fountain of life; in Thy light do we see light.

Ngoba kuwe kulomthombo wokuphila; kokwakho ukukhanya sibona ukukhanya.

10 O continue Thy lovingkindness unto them that know Thee; and Thy righteousness to the upright in heart.

Qhubeka ngothando Lwakho kulabo abakwaziyo, ukuluga Kwakho kwabaqotho enhliziyweni.

11 Let not the foot of pride overtake me, and let not the hand of the wicked drive me away.

Sengathi unyawo lwabazazisayo lungehluleka ukunginyathela, loba ukuthi isandla sababi singangixotshi.

12 There are the workers of iniquity fallen; they are thrust down, and are not able to rise.

Bonani-ke ukuthi izigangi sezithe daca ziwiselwe phansi, kazisavuki futhi!
