Psalms 16
1 A MIKTAM OF DAVID. Preserve me, O God, for I trusted in You.
Ngilondoloza, Nkulunkulu, ngoba ngithembela kuwe.
2 You have said to YHWH, “You [are] my Lord”; My goodness [is] not above You;
Ngithe eNkosini: UyiNkosi yami, ukulunga kwami kakufiki kuwe.
3 For the holy ones who [are] in the land, And the honorable, all my delight [is] in them.
Kodwa kubangcwele abasemhlabeni, labahlekazi, ontokozo yami yonke ikubo.
4 Their griefs are multiplied, [who] have hurried backward; I do not pour out their drink-offerings of blood, Nor do I take up their names on my lips.
Zizakwanda insizi zabagijimela omunye unkulunkulu; kangiyikunikela iminikelo yabo yokunathwayo yegazi; lamabizo abo kangiyikuwaphatha endebeni zami.
5 YHWH [is] the portion of my share, and of my cup, You uphold my lot.
INkosi iyisabelo selifa lami lesenkezo yami; wena uphethe isabelo sami.
6 Lines have fallen to me in pleasant places, Indeed, a beautiful inheritance [is] for me.
Imizila iwele kimi ezindaweni ezithokozisayo; yebo, ngilelifa elibukekayo.
7 I bless YHWH who has counseled me; Also [in] the nights my reins instruct me.
Ngizayibonga iNkosi engelulekayo; lebusuku izinso zami ziyangiqondisa.
8 I placed YHWH before me continually, Because [He is] at my right hand I am not moved.
Ngibekile iNkosi phambi kwami njalonjalo; ngoba ingakwesokunene sami, kangiyikunyikinywa.
9 Therefore my heart has been glad, And my glory rejoices, Also my flesh dwells confidently:
Ngakho inhliziyo yami iyathokoza, lodumo lwami luyajabula, lenyama yami izahlala ivikelekile.
Ngoba kawutshiyanga umphefumulo wami esihogweni, njalo kawuyikunikela ongcwele wakho ukuthi abone ukubola. (Sheol h7585)
11 You cause me to know the path of life; In Your presence [is] fullness of joys, Pleasant things [are] by Your right hand forever!
Uzangazisa indlela yempilo; ukugcwala kwentokozo kusebukhoneni bakho, ngakwesokunene sakho kukhona izinjabulo phakade.
