Psalms 86
1 Bow down your ear, O LORD, hear me: for I am poor and needy.
Umkhuleko kaDavida Zwana, Oh Thixo, ungiphendule, ngoba ngingumyanga ngiyaswela.
2 Preserve my soul; for I am holy: O you my God, save your servant that trusts in you.
Vikela impilo yami, ngoba ngizinikele kuwe; sindisa inceku yakho ekuthembayo; UnguNkulunkulu wami.
3 Be merciful unto me, O Lord: for I cry unto you daily.
Woba lesihawu kimi, Oh Thixo, ngoba ngitshona ngikubiza ilanga lonke.
4 Rejoice the soul of your servant: for unto you, O Lord, do I lift up my soul.
Letha ukuthokoza encekwini yakho, ngoba kuwe, Oh Thixo, ngiphakamisela umphefumulo wami.
5 For you, Lord, are good, and ready to forgive; and abundant in mercy unto all them that call upon you.
Uyathethelela njalo ulungile, Oh Thixo, ugcwele uthando kulabo abakhuleka kuwe.
6 Give ear, O LORD, unto my prayer; and attend to the voice of my supplications.
Zwana umkhuleko wami, Oh Thixo; lalela ukukhala kwami ngicela umusa.
7 In the day of my trouble I will call upon you: for you will answer me.
Mhla ngiphakathi kokuhlupheka ngizakhala kuwe, ngoba uzangiphendula.
8 Among the gods there is none like unto you, O Lord; neither are there any works like unto your works.
Phakathi kwabonkulunkulu kakho onjengawe, Oh Thixo; kakulazenzo ezingalinganiswa lezakho.
9 All nations whom you have made shall come and worship before you, O Lord; and shall glorify your name.
Zonke izizwe owazenzayo zizakuza zikhonze kuwe, Nkosi; zizaletha udumo ebizweni lakho.
10 For you are great, and do wondrous things: you are God alone.
Ngoba umkhulu njalo wenza imisebenzi emangalisayo; wena wedwa unguNkulunkulu.
11 Teach me your way, O LORD; I will walk in your truth: unite my heart to fear your name.
Ngifundisa indlela yakho, Oh Thixo, ukuze ngihambe eqinisweni lakho; ngipha inhliziyo engaxamalazanga, ukuze ngilesabe ibizo lakho.
12 I will praise you, O Lord my God, with all my heart: and I will glorify your name for evermore.
Ngizakudumisa, Nkosi Nkulunkulu wami, ngenhliziyo yami yonke; ngizalidumisa ibizo lakho laphakade.
13 For great is your mercy toward me: and you have delivered my soul from the low hell. (Sheol h7585)
Ngoba lukhulu uthando lwakho kimi; ungenyule ekujuleni kwendawo yabafileyo. (Sheol h7585)
14 O God, the proud are risen against me, and the assemblies of violent men have sought after my soul; and have not set you before them.
Iziqholo ziyangihlasela, Oh Nkulunkulu iqembu lamadoda alesihluku lizingela impilo yami abantu abangakunanziyo wena.
15 But you, O Lord, are a God full of compassion, and gracious, long suffering, and abundant in mercy and truth.
Kodwa wena, Nkosi, unguNkulunkulu olozwelo, olobubelo, ophuza ukuzonda, owandayo ngothando lokuthembeka.
16 O turn unto me, and have mercy upon me; give your strength unto your servant, and save the son of your handmaid.
Phendukela ngakimi ube lesihawu kimi; veza amandla akho ngenceku yakho, ngisindise ngoba ngiyakukhonza, njengokwenziwa ngumama.
17 Show me a token for good; that they which hate me may see it, and be ashamed: because you, LORD, have helped me, and comforted me.
Ngipha isiboniso sokulunga kwakho, ukuze izitha zami zisibone ziyangeke, ngoba wena, Oh Thixo, usungisizile njalo wangiduduza.
