Psalms 3
1 YHWH, how are they increased that trouble me! many are they that rise up against me.
Nkosi, zande kangakanani izitha zami! Banengi abangivukelayo.
2 Many there be which say of my soul, There is no help for him in Elohim. (Selah)
Banengi abathi ngomphefumulo wami: Kakulasindiso lwakhe kuNkulunkulu. (Sela)
3 But thou, O YHWH, art a shield for me; my glory, and the lifter up of mine head.
Kodwa wena Nkosi, uyisihlangu sami, udumo lwami, lomphakamisi wekhanda lami.
4 I cried unto YHWH with my voice, and he heard me out of his holy hill. (Selah)
Ngakhala ngelizwi lami eNkosini, yasingiphendula isentabeni yayo engcwele. (Sela)
5 I laid me down and slept; I awaked; for YHWH sustained me.
Mina ngalala phansi, ngajumeka; ngavuka, ngoba iNkosi yangisekela.
6 I will not be afraid of ten thousands of people, that have set themselves against me round about.
Kangiyikwesaba izinkulungwane ezilitshumi zabantu abangihanqileyo bemelana lami.
7 Arise, O YHWH; save me, O my Elohim: for thou hast smitten all mine enemies upon the cheek bone; thou hast broken the teeth of the wicked.
Vuka, Nkosi! Ngisindisa, Nkulunkulu wami. Ngoba zonke izitha zami uzitshayile emhlathini, wephule amazinyo ababi.
8 Salvation belongeth unto YHWH: thy blessing is upon thy people. (Selah)
Usindiso ngolweNkosi. Isibusiso sakho siphezu kwabantu bakho. (Sela)
