Psalms 5
1 For the end, a Psalm of David, concerning her that inherits. Listen to my words, O Lord, attend to my cry.
Beka indlebe emazwini ami, Nkosi; unanzelele ukububula kwami.
2 Attend to the voice of my supplication, my King, and my God: for to you, O Lord, will I pray.
Lalela ilizwi lokukhala kwami, Nkosi yami loNkulunkulu wami; ngoba ngikhuleka kuwe.
3 In the morning you shall hear my voice: in the morning will I wait upon you, and will look up.
Nkosi, ekuseni uzalizwa ilizwi lami; ekuseni ngizahlela umkhuleko wami ngakuwe, ngilinde.
4 For you are not a god that desires iniquity; neither shall the worker of wickedness dwell with you.
Ngoba kawusuye uNkulunkulu othokoza ebubini; omubi kayikuhlala lawe.
5 Neither shall the transgressors continue in your sight: you hate, O Lord, all them that work iniquity.
Abazikhukhumezayo kabayikuma phambi kwamehlo akho; uzonda bonke abenzi bobubi.
6 You will destroy all that speak falsehood: the Lord abhors the bloody and deceitful man.
Uzababhubhisa abaqamba amanga. INkosi iyamenyanya umuntu wegazi lenkohliso.
7 But I will enter into your house in the multitude of your mercy: I will worship in your fear toward your holy temple.
Kodwa mina, ngizangena endlini yakho ngobukhulu besihawu sakho, ngikhothame ngikhangele ethempelini lakho elingcwele, ngokukwesaba.
8 Lead me, O Lord, in your righteousness because of mine enemies; make my way plain before your face.
Nkosi, ngikhokhelele ekulungeni kwakho ngenxa yezitha zami, wenze indlela yakho iqonde phambi kwami.
9 For there is no truth in their mouth; their heart is vain; their throat is an open sepulchre; with their tongues they have used deceit.
Ngoba kalikho iqiniso emlonyeni wazo, ingaphakathi yazo izinkohlakalo; umphimbo wazo ulingcwaba elivulekileyo, zibamba amehlo ngolimi lwazo.
10 Judge them, O God; let them fail of their counsels: cast them out according to the abundance of their ungodliness; for they have provoked you, O Lord.
Tshono uthi zilecala, Nkulunkulu, kaziwe ngamacebo azo; uzilahle ngenxa yobunengi beziphambeko zazo, ngoba zikuvukele.
11 But let all that trust on you be glad in you: they shall exult for ever, and you shall dwell among them; and all that love your name shall rejoice in you.
Kodwa kabathabe bonke abathembela kuwe, bamemeze kokuphela ngentokozo, ngoba ubavikele; lalabo abathanda ibizo lakho kabajabule kuwe.
12 For you, Lord, shall bless the righteous: you have compassed us as with a shield of favor.
Ngoba wena Nkosi, uzabusisa olungileyo, uzamhanqa ngomusa njengesihlangu esikhulu.
