Psalms 57
1 To the choirmaster al-tashcheth of David a miktam when fled he from before Saul in the cave. Show favor to me O God - show favor to me for in you it takes refuge self my and in [the] shadow of wings your I take refuge until it will pass by destruction.
Ngihawukela, Nkulunkulu, ngihawukela, ngoba umphefumulo wami uthembela kuwe; yebo, emthunzini wempiko zakho ngizaphephela, zize zedlule incithakalo.
2 I call out to God Most High to God [who] avenges on me.
Ngizakhala kuNkulunkulu oPhezukonke, kuNkulunkulu ongiphelelisela khona.
3 He will send from heaven - and he will save me he will reproach [one who] crushes me (Selah) he will send God covenant loyalty his and faithfulness his.
Uzathumela esemazulwini, angisindise, ayangise ofuna ukungiginya. (Sela) UNkulunkulu uzathumela umusa wakhe leqiniso lakhe.
4 Self my - in among lions I lie with [those that] devour [the] children of humankind teeth their [are] a spear and arrows and tongue their [is] a sword sharp.
Umphefumulo uphakathi kwezilwane, ngilala phakathi kwabavuthayo, amadodana abantu, omazinyo abo ayimikhonto lemitshoko, lolimi lwabo luyinkemba ebukhali.
5 Be exalted! above the heavens O God [be] over all the earth glory your.
Phakama ngaphezu kwamazulu, Nkulunkulu; ubukhosi bakho bube phezu komhlaba wonke.
6 A net - they prepared for feet my it bent down self my they dug before me a pit they have fallen in [the] midst of it (Selah)
Balungisele izinyathelo zami imbule; umphefumulo wami ukhotheme; bagebhe igodi phambi kwami; bawele phakathi kwalo. (Sela)
7 [is] steadfast Heart my O God [is] steadfast heart my I will sing and I will sing praises.
Inhliziyo yami iqinisiwe, Nkulunkulu, inhliziyo yami iqinisiwe. Ngizahlabelela ngihube indumiso.
8 Awake! O honor my awake! O lyre and harp I will waken [the] dawn.
Vuka, dumo lwami! Vuka, gubhu lwezintambo lechacho! Ngizavusa ukusa.
9 I will give thanks to you among the peoples - O Lord I will sing praises to you not nations.
Ngizakudumisa phakathi kwabantu, Nkosi, ngihlabelele kuwe phakathi kwezizwe.
10 For [is] great to [the] heavens covenant loyalty your and to [the] clouds faithfulness your.
Ngoba umusa wakho mkhulu kuze kube semazulwini, leqiniso lakho kuze kube semayezini.
11 Be exalted! above [the] heavens O God [be] over all the earth glory your.
Phakama ngaphezu kwamazulu, Nkulunkulu; ubukhosi bakho bube phezu komhlaba wonke.
