Psalms 40

1 To the choirmaster of David a psalm. Certainly I waited for Yahweh and he stretched out to me and he heard cry for help my.

Kumqondisi wokuhlabela. ElikaDavida. Ihubo. Ngamlindela ngesineke uThixo; waphendukela ngakimi wezwa ukukhala kwami.

2 And he brought up me - from a pit of roaring from [the] mud of the mire and he set on a rock feet my he established steps my.

Wangenyula emgodini otshonayo, wangikhupha edakeni lexhaphozini; wamisa inyawo zami edwaleni, wangipha indawo eqinileyo yokuma.

3 And he put in mouth my - a song new praise to God our they will see many [people] so they may fear and they may trust in Yahweh.

Wangipha ingoma entsha emlonyeni wami, ihubo lokudumisa kuNkulunkulu wethu. Abanengi bazabona besabe babeke ithemba labo kuThixo.

4 How blessed! [is] the man who he has made Yahweh trust his and not he has turned to proud people and [those who] fall away of falsehood.

Ubusisiwe umuntu owenza uThixo abe lithemba lakhe, ongathembi abazigqajayo, lalabo abaqambukela kubonkulunkulu bamanga.

5 Many you have made - you - O Yahweh God my wonders your and plans your to us not - to compare to you I will declare and I will speak they are [too] numerous for recounting.

Zinengi, Thixo, Nkulunkulu wami, izimangaliso ozenzileyo. Izinto owasilungiselela zona kakho ongazibala kuwe; aluba bengingakhuluma loba ngilandise ngazo, zingaba zinengi ngokweqileyo ukuzibalisa.

6 Sacrifice and offering - not you desired ears you dug for me burnt offering and sin offering not you asked for.

Kawufisanga imihlatshelo leminikelo kodwa indlebe zami uzikleklile; iminikelo yokutshiswa leminikelo yesono kawuzange uyidinge.

7 Then I said here! I have come in [the] scroll of [the] book [it is] written on me.

Lapho-ke ngasengisithi, “Ngilapha, sengifikile kulotshiwe ngami emqulwini.

8 To do will your O God my I desire and law your [is] in [the] midst of inward parts my.

Ngiyakunxwanela ukwenza intando yakho, Oh Nkulunkulu wami; umthetho wakho usenhliziyweni yami.”

9 I have borne news righteousness - in [the] assembly great here! lips my not I restrain O Yahweh you you know.

Ngiyafakaza ngokulunga ngisemhlanganweni omkhulu; angizivali izindebe zami, njengoba usazi, Oh Thixo.

10 Righteousness your not I have concealed - in [the] midst of heart my faithfulness your and salvation your I have spoken not I have hidden covenant loyalty your and faithfulness your to [the] assembly great.

Ukulunga kwakho kangikufihli enhliziyweni yami; ngikhuluma ngokuthembeka kwakho lokusindisa kwakho. Kangilufihli uthando lwakho leqiniso lakho emhlanganweni omkhulu.

11 You O Yahweh not you will withhold compassion your from me covenant loyalty your and faithfulness your continually they preserve me.

Ungasigodli isihawu sakho kimi, Oh Thixo; sengathi uthando lwakho leqiniso lakho kungahlala kungivikela.

12 For they have surrounded me - troubles until there not [was] number they have overtaken me iniquities my and not I am able to see they are numerous more than [the] hairs of head my and heart my it has abandoned me.

Phela inhlupheko ezingelakubalwa zingihanqile; izono zami sezingificile, kangisaboni. Zinengi kulenwele zekhanda lami, njalo inhliziyo yami isiphela amandla.

13 Be pleased O Yahweh to deliver me O Yahweh to help my make haste!

Jabula, awu Thixo, ungisindise; awu Thixo, woza masinyane uzongisiza.

14 May they be ashamed and they may be abashed - altogether [those who] seek life my to snatch away it may they be turned back backwards and may they be humiliated [the] [people] desirous of harm my.

Sengathi bonke abafuna ukuqeda impilo yami bangayangiswa basanganiswe; sengathi bonke abafisa ukungidiliza bangabuyiselwa emuva beyangekile.

15 May they be appalled on [the] consequence of shame their those [who] say to me aha! - aha!

Sengathi bonke abathi kimi, “Ehe, Ehe!” banganengwa lihlazo labo.

16 May they exult and they may rejoice - in you all [those who] seek you may they say continually he is great Yahweh [those who] love salvation your.

Kodwa akuthi bonke abakudingayo bathokoze bajabule kuwe; akuthi labo abathanda insindiso yakho bahlale besithi, “UThixo kadunyiswe!”

17 And I - [am] poor and needy [the] Lord may he think to me [are] help my and deliverer my you O God my may not you delay.

Kodwa mina ngiyahlupheka, ngiyaswela; sengathi iNkosi ingangikhumbula. Ilusizo lwami lomkhululi wami; Oh Nkulunkulu wami, ungalibali.
