Psalms 16
1 PRESERVE me, O God: for in thee do I put my trust.
Ngilondoloza, Nkulunkulu, ngoba ngithembela kuwe.
2 O my soul, thou hast said unto the Lord, Thou art my Lord: my goodness extendeth not to thee;
Ngithe eNkosini: UyiNkosi yami, ukulunga kwami kakufiki kuwe.
3 But to the saints that are in the earth, and to the excellent, in whom is all my delight.
Kodwa kubangcwele abasemhlabeni, labahlekazi, ontokozo yami yonke ikubo.
4 Their sorrows shall be multiplied that hasten after another god: their drink offerings of blood will I not offer, nor take up their names into my lips.
Zizakwanda insizi zabagijimela omunye unkulunkulu; kangiyikunikela iminikelo yabo yokunathwayo yegazi; lamabizo abo kangiyikuwaphatha endebeni zami.
5 The Lord is the portion of mine inheritance and of my cup: thou maintainest my lot.
INkosi iyisabelo selifa lami lesenkezo yami; wena uphethe isabelo sami.
6 The lines are fallen unto me in pleasant places; yea, I have a goodly heritage.
Imizila iwele kimi ezindaweni ezithokozisayo; yebo, ngilelifa elibukekayo.
7 I will bless the Lord, who hath given me counsel: my reins also instruct me in the night seasons.
Ngizayibonga iNkosi engelulekayo; lebusuku izinso zami ziyangiqondisa.
8 I have set the Lord always before me: because he is at my right hand, I shall not be moved.
Ngibekile iNkosi phambi kwami njalonjalo; ngoba ingakwesokunene sami, kangiyikunyikinywa.
9 Therefore my heart is glad, and my glory rejoiceth: my flesh also shall rest in hope.
Ngakho inhliziyo yami iyathokoza, lodumo lwami luyajabula, lenyama yami izahlala ivikelekile.
10 For thou wilt not leave my soul in hell; neither wilt thou suffer thine Holy One to see corruption. (Sheol h7585)
Ngoba kawutshiyanga umphefumulo wami esihogweni, njalo kawuyikunikela ongcwele wakho ukuthi abone ukubola. (Sheol h7585)
11 Thou wilt shew me the path of life: in thy presence is fulness of joy; at thy right hand there are pleasures for evermore.
Uzangazisa indlela yempilo; ukugcwala kwentokozo kusebukhoneni bakho, ngakwesokunene sakho kukhona izinjabulo phakade.
