Psalms 36

1 TO THE OVERSEER. BY A SERVANT OF YHWH, BY DAVID. The transgression of the wicked Is affirming within my heart, “Fear of God is not before his eyes,

Kumqondisi wokuhlabela. ElikaDavida inceku kaThixo. Ngilenkinga enhliziyweni yami mayelana lokuxhwala kwesigangi: Kakukho ukwesaba uNkulunkulu engqondweni yaso.

2 For he made [it] smooth to himself in his eyes, To find his iniquity to be hated.

Phela kweyaso ingqondo siyazikhohlisa size sehluleke ukubona kumbe ukuzonda isono saso.

3 The words of his mouth [are] iniquity and deceit, He ceased to act prudently—to do good.

Amazwi omlomo waso abolile alenkohliso; kasiselakho ukuhlakanipha lokulunga.

4 He devises iniquity on his bed, He stations himself on a way not good, He does not refuse evil.”

Kwala loba silele siceba ububi; sizinikela endleleni yobubi njalo kasikulahli okubi.

5 O YHWH, Your kindness [is] in the heavens, Your faithfulness [is] to the clouds.

Uthando Lwakho, Thixo, lufika emazulwini, ukuthembeka Kwakho esibhakabhakeni.

6 Your righteousness [is] as mountains of God, Your judgments [are] a great deep. You save man and beast, O YHWH.

Ukulunga Kwakho kunjengezintaba ezesabekayo, ukwahlulela kuhle Kwakho njengolwandle olukhulu. Oh Thixo, uyamlondoloza umuntu kanye lenyamazana.

7 How precious [is] Your kindness, O God, And the sons of men trust In the shadow of Your wings.

Luligugu elinganani uthando Lwakho olungaphuthiyo, Oh Nkulunkulu! Bonke abantu bazuza isiphephelo emthunzini wamaphiko Akho.

8 They are filled from the fatness of Your house, And You cause them to drink the stream of Your delights.

Bayazitika ngokudla okunengi endlini Yakho; ubapha okunathwayo okwemfuleni wakho wokuthokoza.

9 For a fountain of life [is] with You, In Your light we see light.

Ngoba kuwe kulomthombo wokuphila; kokwakho ukukhanya sibona ukukhanya.

10 Draw out Your kindness to those knowing You, And Your righteousness to the upright of heart.

Qhubeka ngothando Lwakho kulabo abakwaziyo, ukuluga Kwakho kwabaqotho enhliziyweni.

11 Do not let a foot of pride meet me, And do not let a hand of the wicked move me.

Sengathi unyawo lwabazazisayo lungehluleka ukunginyathela, loba ukuthi isandla sababi singangixotshi.

12 Workers of iniquity have fallen there, They have been overthrown, And have not been able to arise!

Bonani-ke ukuthi izigangi sezithe daca ziwiselwe phansi, kazisavuki futhi!
