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.
Woba lomusa kimi, Nkulunkulu, ngoba umuntu ufuna ukungiginya; usuku lonke esilwa uyangicindezela.
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,
Izitha zami zifuna ukungiginya usuku lonke, ngoba zinengi ezilwa zimelene lami ngokuziphakamisa.
3 In the day that I am afraid, I will put my trust in Thee.
Mhla ngisesaba, mina 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 ngizadumisa ilizwi lakhe, kuNkulunkulu ngiyathemba, angiyikwesaba. Inyama ingenzani kimi?
5 All the day they trouble mine affairs; all their thoughts are against me for evil.
Usuku lonke baphambanisa amazwi ami; yonke imicabango yabo imelene lami ngokubi.
6 They gather themselves together, they hide themselves, they mark my steps; according as they have waited for my soul.
Bayabuthana, bagugube, bona baqaphelise izinyathelo zami, lapho belindele umphefumulo wami.
7 Because of iniquity cast them out; in anger bring down the peoples, O God.
Bazaphunyuka yini ngobubi? Ekuthukutheleni wisela phansi abantu, Nkulunkulu.
8 Thou has counted my wanderings; put Thou my tears into Thy bottle; are they not in Thy book?
Ukuzulazula kwami ukubalile; wena faka izinyembezi zami embodleleni yakho; kazikho ogwalweni lwakho yini?
9 Then shall mine enemies turn back in the day that I call; this I know, that God is for me.
Khona izitha zami zizabuyela emuva mhla ngibizayo. Ngiyakwazi lokhu ukuthi uNkulunkulu ukimi.
10 In God — I will praise His word — in the LORD — I will praise His word —
KuNkulunkulu ngizadumisa ilizwi, eNkosini ngizadumisa ilizwi.
11 In God do I trust, I will not be afraid; what can man do unto me?
KuNkulunkulu ngiyathemba, angiyikwesaba. Umuntu angenzani kimi?
12 Thy vows are upon me, O God; I will render thank-offerings unto Thee.
Nkulunkulu, izifungo zakho ziphezu kwami; ngizabuyisela kuwe izindumiso.
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 uwukhulule umphefumulo wami ekufeni, yebo, inyawo zami ekukhubekeni, ukuze ngihambe phambi kukaNkulunkulu ekukhanyeni kwabaphilayo.
