Psalms 56
1 For the Leader; upon Jonath-elem-rehokim. A Psalm of David; Michtam; when the Philistines took him in Gath. Be gracious unto me, O God, for man would swallow me up; all the day he fighting oppresseth me.
Kumqondisi wokuhlabela. Kulandelwa itshuni ethi, “Ijuba phezu kwemikusu ekude.” ElikaDavida. Imikithamu. Lapho wayesethunjwe ngamafilistiya eGathi. Woba lomusa kimi, Oh Nkulunkulu, ngoba abantu baxotshana lami kubi; ilanga lonke bayajujumezela bengihlasela.
2 They that lie in wait for me would swallow me up all the day; for they are many that fight against me, O Most High,
Labo abangigconayo baxotshana lami ilanga lonke; abanengi bangihlasela bekloloda.
3 In the day that I am afraid, I will put my trust in Thee.
Nxa ngisesaba ngizathemba kuwe.
4 In God — I will praise His word — in God do I trust, I will not be afraid; what can flesh do unto me?
KuNkulunkulu, engidumisa ibizo lakhe, ngithemba kuye uNkulunkulu; angiyikwesaba. Umuntu wenyama angenzani kimi?
5 All the day they trouble mine affairs; all their thoughts are against me for evil.
Ilanga lonke batshona behlanekela amazwi ami; beqoqa ukungibhidliza.
6 They gather themselves together, they hide themselves, they mark my steps; according as they have waited for my soul.
Bayabuthana bengicathamela balandele izinyathelo zami betshisekela ukucitsha impilo yami.
7 Because of iniquity cast them out; in anger bring down the peoples, O God.
Loba sekutheni ungabayekeli baphunyuke; ngokuthukuthela kwakho, Nkulunkulu, zidilize izizwe.
8 Thou has counted my wanderings; put Thou my tears into Thy bottle; are they not in Thy book?
Bhala phansi isililo sami; bhala ithonsi ngalinye lezinyembezi zami emqulwini wakho kazikho yini emibhalweni yakho?
9 Then shall mine enemies turn back in the day that I call; this I know, that God is for me.
Lapho-ke izitha zami zizafulathela nxa sengicela uncedo. Ngalokhu ngizakwazi ukuthi uNkulunkulu ulami.
10 In God — I will praise His word — in the LORD — I will praise His word —
KuNkulunkulu, engidumisa ibizo lakhe, kuThixo engidumisa ibizo lakhe,
11 In God do I trust, I will not be afraid; what can man do unto me?
kuNkulunkulu ngiyathemba; angiyikwesaba. Umuntu angenzani kimi na?
12 Thy vows are upon me, O God; I will render thank-offerings unto Thee.
Ngibanjwe yizifungo kuwe, Oh Nkulunkulu; ngizakwethula umnikelo wami wokubonga kuwe.
13 For thou hast delivered my soul from death; hast Thou not delivered my feet from stumbling? that I may walk before God in the light of the living.
Ngoba ungikhulule ekufeni lezinyawo zami lapho ngikhubeka, ukuze ngihambe phambi kukaNkulunkulu ekukhanyeni kwempilo.
