Psalms 86
1 A Prayer Of David. Bow down thine ear, O LORD, and answer me; for I am poor and needy.
Beka indlebe yakho, Nkosi, ungiphendule, ngoba ngingumyanga, ngiyaswela.
2 Preserve my soul; for I am godly: O thou my God, save thy servant that trusteth in thee.
Londoloza umphefumulo wami, ngoba ngiyamesaba uNkulunkulu; wena Nkulunkulu wami, sindisa inceku yakho ekuthembayo.
3 Be merciful unto me, O Lord; for unto thee do I cry all the day long.
Woba lesihawu kimi, Nkosi, ngoba ngikhala kuwe usuku lonke.
4 Rejoice the soul of thy servant; for unto thee, O Lord, do I lift up my soul.
Thokozisa umphefumulo wenceku yakho, ngoba kuwe, Nkosi, ngiyawuphakamisela umphefumulo wami.
5 For thou, Lord, art good, and ready to forgive, and plenteous in mercy unto all them that call upon thee.
Ngoba wena, Nkosi, ulungile, ungothethelelayo; umkhulu emuseni kubo bonke abakubizayo.
6 Give ear, O LORD, unto my prayer; and hearken unto the voice of my supplications.
Beka indlebe, Nkosi, emkhulekweni wami; ulalele ilizwi lokuncenga kwami.
7 In the day of my trouble I will call upon thee; for thou wilt answer me.
Ngosuku lokuhlupheka kwami ngizakhala kuwe, ngoba uzangiphendula.
8 There is none like unto thee among the gods, O Lord; neither [are there any works] like unto thy works.
Kakho ofanana lawe phakathi kwabonkulunkulu, Nkosi, njalo enjengemisebenzi yakho kayikho.
9 All nations whom thou hast made shall come and worship before thee, O Lord; and they shall glorify thy name.
Izizwe zonke ozenzileyo zizakuza zikhothame phambi kwakho, Nkosi, zidumise ibizo lakho.
10 For thou art great, and doest wondrous things: thou art God alone.
Ngoba wena umkhulu, wenza izinto ezimangalisayo, unguNkulunkulu wena wedwa.
11 Teach me thy way, O LORD; I will walk in thy truth: unite my heart to fear thy name.
Ngifundisa indlela yakho, Nkosi, ngizahamba eqinisweni lakho; hlanganisa inhliziyo yami ukuze yesabe ibizo lakho.
12 I will praise thee, O Lord my God, with my whole heart; and I will glorify thy name for evermore.
Ngizakudumisa, Nkosi Nkulunkulu wami, ngenhliziyo yami yonke; ngilidumise ibizo lakho kuze kube nininini.
13 For great is thy mercy toward me; and thou hast delivered my soul from the lowest pit. (Sheol h7585)
Ngoba umusa wakho phezu kwami mkhulu; njalo wakhulula umphefumulo wami esihogweni esingaphansi kakhulu. (Sheol h7585)
14 O God, the proud are risen up against me, and the congregation of violent men have sought after my soul, and have not set thee before them.
Nkulunkulu, abazigqajayo bangivukele, lemibuthano yabalobudlwangudlwangu idinga umphefumulo wami; njalo kabakubekanga phambi kwabo.
15 But thou, O Lord, art a God full of compassion and gracious, slow to anger, and plenteous in mercy and truth.
Kodwa wena, Nkosi, unguNkulunkulu olozwelo, lolesisa, ophuza ukuthukuthela, lomkhulu emuseni leqinisweni.
16 O turn unto me, and have mercy upon me; give thy strength unto thy servant, and save the son of thine handmaid.
Phendukela kimi, ungihawukele; uyiphe inceku yakho amandla akho, usindise indodana yencekukazi yakho.
17 Shew me a token for good; that they which hate me may see it, and be ashamed, because thou, LORD, hast holpen me, and comforted me,
Ngenzela isiboniso sokuhle, ukuze labo abangizondayo babone bayangeke, ngoba wena, Nkosi, ungisizile wangiduduza.
