Psalms 30

1 I WILL extol thee, O Lord; for thou hast lifted me up, and hast not made my foes to rejoice over me.

Ngizakuphakamisa, Nkosi, ngoba ungenyusile, njalo kawuthokozisanga izitha zami ngami.

2 O Lord my God, I cried unto thee, and thou hast healed me.

Nkosi Nkulunkulu wami, ngakhalela kuwe, wangisilisa.

3 O Lord, thou hast brought up my soul from the grave: thou hast kept me alive, that I should not go down to the pit. (Sheol h7585)

Nkosi, uwukhuphulile umphefumulo wami engcwabeni, ungigcinile ngiphila, ukuze ngingehleli emgodini. (Sheol h7585)

4 Sing unto the Lord, O ye saints of his, and give thanks at the remembrance of his holiness.

Hlabelelani eNkosini, lina bangcwele bayo, libonge ekukhunjulweni kobungcwele bayo.

5 For his anger endureth but a moment; in his favour is life: weeping may endure for a night, but joy cometh in the morning.

Ngoba ukuthukuthela kwayo kungokwesikhatshana, impilo isemuseni wayo. Ukulila kungahlala kusihlwa, kanti ekuseni kulentokozo.

6 And in my prosperity I said, I shall never be moved.

Mina-ke ngathi ekuphumeleleni kwami: Kangiyikunyikinywa laphakade.

7 Lord, by thy favour thou hast made my mountain to stand strong: thou didst hide thy face, and I was troubled.

Nkosi, ngomusa wakho wenzile intaba yami iqine; wabufihla ubuso bakho, ngahlupheka.

8 I cried to thee, O Lord; and unto the Lord I made supplication.

Ngakhala kuwe, Nkosi; ngancenga eNkosini.

9 What profit is there in my blood, when I go down to the pit? Shall the dust praise thee? shall it declare thy truth?

Kulenzuzo bani egazini lami ekutshoneni kwami emgodini? Uthuli luzakudumisa na? Luzatshumayela iqiniso lakho yini?

10 Hear, O Lord, and have mercy upon me: Lord, be thou my helper.

Zwana, Nkosi, ube lomusa kimi; Nkosi, woba ngumsizi wami.

11 Thou hast turned for me my mourning into dancing: thou hast put off my sackcloth, and girded me with gladness;

Uphendule ukukhala kwami kwaba yikusina; ukhuphile isaka lami, wangibhincisa intokozo,

12 To the end that my glory may sing praise to thee, and not be silent. O Lord my God, I will give thanks unto thee for ever.

ukuze udumo lwami luhlabele indumiso kuwe, lungathuli; Nkosi, Nkulunkulu wami, ngizakubonga kuze kube nininini.
