Psalms 85
1 Lord, you have been favorable to your land: you have brought back the captivity of Jacob.
Nkosi, ubulomusa elizweni lakho. Ubuyisile ukuthunjwa kukaJakobe.
2 You have forgiven the iniquity of your people, you have covered all their sin. (Selah)
Wathethelela ububi babantu bakho, wasibekela zonke izono zabo. (Sela)
3 You have taken away all your wrath: you have turned yourself from the fierceness of your anger.
Ukususile konke ukuthukuthela kwakho, waphenduka ekuvutheni kolaka lwakho.
4 Turn us, O God of our salvation, and cause your anger toward us to cease.
Siphendule, Nkulunkulu wosindiso lwethu, wenze ulaka lwakho kithi luphele.
5 Will you be angry with us for ever? will you draw out your anger to all generations?
Uzasithukuthelela kokuphela yini? Uzakwelulela ulaka lwakho esizukulwaneni lesizukulwana yini?
6 Will you not revive us again: that your people may rejoice in you?
Kawuyikubuya usivuselele yini, ukuze abantu bakho bathokoze kuwe?
7 Show us your mercy, O LORD, and grant us your salvation.
Sitshengise umusa wakho, Nkosi, usinike usindiso lwakho.
8 I will hear what God the LORD will speak: for he will speak peace to his people, and to his saints: but let them not turn again to folly.
Ngizakuzwa lokho uNkulunkulu iNkosi azakukhuluma, ngoba uzakhuluma ukuthula ebantwini bakhe, lakwabangcwele bakhe, kodwa kabangabuyeli ebuwuleni.
9 Surely his salvation is near them that fear him; that glory may dwell in our land.
Isibili usindiso lwakhe luseduze kulabo abamesabayo ukuze kuhlale udumo elizweni lakithi.
10 Mercy and truth are met together; righteousness and peace have kissed each other.
Umusa leqiniso kuyahlangabezana, ukulunga lokuthula kwangene.
11 Truth shall spring out of the earth; and righteousness shall look down from heaven.
Iqiniso lizaphuma emhlabeni, lokulunga kuzakhangela phansi kusemazulwini.
12 Yes, the LORD shall give that which is good; and our land shall yield her increase.
Yebo, iNkosi izanika okuhle, lelizwe lethu lizathela isivuno salo.
13 Righteousness shall go before him; and shall set us in the way of his steps.
Ukulunga kuzahamba phambi kwayo, kwenzele izinyathelo zayo indlela.
