Psalms 86

1 A PRAYER OF DAVID. Incline, O YHWH, Your ear, Answer me, for I [am] poor and needy.

Umkhuleko kaDavida Zwana, Oh Thixo, ungiphendule, ngoba ngingumyanga ngiyaswela.

2 Keep my soul, for I [am] pious, Save Your servant who is trusting to You, O You, my God.

Vikela impilo yami, ngoba ngizinikele kuwe; sindisa inceku yakho ekuthembayo; UnguNkulunkulu wami.

3 Favor me, O Lord, for I call to You all the day.

Woba lesihawu kimi, Oh Thixo, ngoba ngitshona ngikubiza ilanga lonke.

4 Make glad the soul of Your servant, For to You, O Lord, I lift up my soul.

Letha ukuthokoza encekwini yakho, ngoba kuwe, Oh Thixo, ngiphakamisela umphefumulo wami.

5 For You, Lord, [are] good and forgiving, And abundant in kindness to all calling You.

Uyathethelela njalo ulungile, Oh Thixo, ugcwele uthando kulabo abakhuleka kuwe.

6 Hear, O YHWH, my prayer, And attend to the voice of my supplications.

Zwana umkhuleko wami, Oh Thixo; lalela ukukhala kwami ngicela umusa.

7 In a day of my distress I call You, For You answer me.

Mhla ngiphakathi kokuhlupheka ngizakhala kuwe, ngoba uzangiphendula.

8 There is none like You among the gods, O Lord, And like Your works there are none.

Phakathi kwabonkulunkulu kakho onjengawe, Oh Thixo; kakulazenzo ezingalinganiswa lezakho.

9 All nations that You have made Come and bow themselves before You, O Lord, And give honor to Your Name.

Zonke izizwe owazenzayo zizakuza zikhonze kuwe, Nkosi; zizaletha udumo ebizweni lakho.

10 For You [are] great, and doing wonders, You [are] God alone.

Ngoba umkhulu njalo wenza imisebenzi emangalisayo; wena wedwa unguNkulunkulu.

11 Show me, O YHWH, Your way, I walk in Your truth, My heart rejoices to fear Your Name.

Ngifundisa indlela yakho, Oh Thixo, ukuze ngihambe eqinisweni lakho; ngipha inhliziyo engaxamalazanga, ukuze ngilesabe ibizo lakho.

12 I confess You, O Lord my God, with all my heart, And I honor Your Name for all time.

Ngizakudumisa, Nkosi Nkulunkulu wami, ngenhliziyo yami yonke; ngizalidumisa ibizo lakho laphakade.

13 For Your kindness [is] great toward me, And You have delivered my soul from the lowest Sheol. (Sheol h7585)

Ngoba lukhulu uthando lwakho kimi; ungenyule ekujuleni kwendawo yabafileyo. (Sheol h7585)

14 O God, the proud have risen up against me, And a company of the terrible sought my soul, And have not placed You before them,

Iziqholo ziyangihlasela, Oh Nkulunkulu iqembu lamadoda alesihluku lizingela impilo yami abantu abangakunanziyo wena.

15 And You, O Lord, [are] God, merciful and gracious, Slow to anger, and abundant in kindness and truth.

Kodwa wena, Nkosi, unguNkulunkulu olozwelo, olobubelo, ophuza ukuzonda, owandayo ngothando lokuthembeka.

16 Look to me, and favor me, Give Your strength to Your servant, And give salvation to a son of Your handmaid.

Phendukela ngakimi ube lesihawu kimi; veza amandla akho ngenceku yakho, ngisindise ngoba ngiyakukhonza, njengokwenziwa ngumama.

17 Do with me a sign for good, And those hating me see and are ashamed, For You, O YHWH, have helped me, Indeed, You have comforted me!

Ngipha isiboniso sokulunga kwakho, ukuze izitha zami zisibone ziyangeke, ngoba wena, Oh Thixo, usungisizile njalo wangiduduza.
