Psalms 30

1 A Psalm; a Song at the Dedication of the House; [a Psalm] of David. I will extol thee, O LORD; for thou hast raised me up, and hast not made my foes to rejoice over me.

Ngizakuphakamisa, Nkosi, ngoba ungenyusile, njalo kawuthokozisanga izitha zami ngami.

2 O LORD my God, I cried unto thee, and thou hast healed me.

Nkosi Nkulunkulu wami, ngakhalela kuwe, wangisilisa.

3 O LORD, thou hast brought up my soul from Sheol: thou hast kept me alive, that I should not go down to the pit. (Sheol h7585)

Nkosi, uwukhuphulile umphefumulo wami engcwabeni, ungigcinile ngiphila, ukuze ngingehleli emgodini. (Sheol h7585)

4 Sing praise unto the LORD, O ye saints of his, and give thanks to his holy name.

Hlabelelani eNkosini, lina bangcwele bayo, libonge ekukhunjulweni kobungcwele bayo.

5 For his anger is but for a moment; in his favour is life: weeping may tarry for the night, but joy [cometh] in the morning.

Ngoba ukuthukuthela kwayo kungokwesikhatshana, impilo isemuseni wayo. Ukulila kungahlala kusihlwa, kanti ekuseni kulentokozo.

6 As for me, I said in my prosperity, I shall never be moved.

Mina-ke ngathi ekuphumeleleni kwami: Kangiyikunyikinywa laphakade.

7 Thou, LORD, of thy favour hadst made my mountain to stand strong: thou didst hide thy face; I was troubled.

Nkosi, ngomusa wakho wenzile intaba yami iqine; wabufihla ubuso bakho, ngahlupheka.

8 I cried to thee, O LORD; and unto the LORD I made supplication:

Ngakhala kuwe, Nkosi; ngancenga eNkosini.

9 What profit is there in my blood, when I go down to the pit? Shall the dust praise thee? shall it declare thy truth?

Kulenzuzo bani egazini lami ekutshoneni kwami emgodini? Uthuli luzakudumisa na? Luzatshumayela iqiniso lakho yini?

10 Hear, O LORD, and have mercy upon me: LORD, be thou my helper.

Zwana, Nkosi, ube lomusa kimi; Nkosi, woba ngumsizi wami.

11 Thou hast turned for me my mourning into dancing; thou hast loosed my sackcloth, and girded me with gladness:

Uphendule ukukhala kwami kwaba yikusina; ukhuphile isaka lami, wangibhincisa intokozo,

12 To the end that [my] glory may sing praise to thee, and not be silent. O LORD my God, I will give thanks unto thee for ever.

ukuze udumo lwami luhlabele indumiso kuwe, lungathuli; Nkosi, Nkulunkulu wami, ngizakubonga kuze kube nininini.
