Psalms 71
1 In you O Yahweh I have taken refuge may not I be ashamed for ever.
Kuwe Thixo, sengithole isiphephelo; mangingayangiswa lanini.
2 In righteousness your you will rescue me and you will deliver me incline to me ear your and save me.
Ngihlenga ungikhulule ngokulunga kwakho; ngilalela, woza ngokuphangisa ungisindise.
3 Become of me - a rock a dwelling place to go continually you have given command to save me for [are] rock my and stronghold my you.
Woba lidwala lami lokuphephela, lapho engingaya khona loba nini; tshono umlayo wokuba ngisindiswe, ngoba ulidwala lami lenqaba yami.
4 O God my deliver me from [the] hand of [the] wicked from [the] hand of [the] wrongdoer and [the] ruthless.
Ngikhulula, Oh Nkulunkulu, esandleni sababi, emandleni abantu ababi abalochuku.
5 For you [are] hope my O Lord Yahweh confidence my since youth my.
Ngoba ube ulithemba lami, Oh Thixo Wobukhosi, ithemba lami kusukela ebutsheni bami.
6 On you - I have supported myself from [the] womb from [the] inward parts of mother my you [were [the] one who] cut off me [is] in you praise my continually.
Kusukela ekuzalweni kwami ngahle ngeyama kuwe; nguwe owangikhuphayo esiswini sikamama. Ngizakudumisa njalonjalo.
7 Like a portent I have become for many [people] and you [are] refuge of my strength.
Senginjengomhlolo kwabanengi, kodwa wena uyisiphephelo sami esiqinileyo.
8 It is filled mouth my praise your all the day splendor your.
Umlomo wami ugcwele udumo lwakho, umemezela inkazimulo yakho ilanga lonke.
9 May not you cast away me to a time of old age when fails strength my may not you forsake me.
Ungangilahleli kude nxa sengiluphele; ungangifulatheli lapho amandla ami esephelile.
10 For they have spoken enemies my of me and [those who] watch of life my they have consulted together.
Ngoba izitha zami zikhuluma kubi ngami; labo abalindele ukungibulala bahlangana ngami.
11 Saying God he has forsaken him pursue and seize him for there not [is] a deliverer.
Bathi, “UNkulunkulu usemlahlile; xotshanani laye limbambe, ngoba kakho ozamlamulela.”
12 O God may not you be far from me O God my to help my (make haste! *Q(K)*)
Ungabi khatshana kwami, Oh Nkulunkulu; woza masinyane, Oh Nkulunkulu wami, uzongisiza.
13 May they be ashamed may they come to an end [the] accusers of self my may they cover themselves reproach and ignominy [those who] seek harm my.
Sengathi labo abangethesa amacala bangabhubha beyangekile; sengathi labo abafuna ukungilimaza bangabhixwa ngehlazo lokuyangeka.
14 And I continually I will wait and I will add to all praise your.
Kodwa mina ngizahlala ngithembile; ngizakudumisa kakhulu.
15 Mouth my - it will recount righteousness your all the day salvation your for not I know numbers.
Umlomo wami uzafakaza ngokulunga kwakho, langensindiso yakho ilanga lonke, lokuba ngingasazi isilinganiso sayo.
16 I will come with [the] mighty deeds of [the] Lord Yahweh I will bring to remembrance righteousness your to alone you.
Ngizakuza ngifakaze ngemisebenzi yakho emikhulu, Oh Thixo Wobukhosi; ngizafakaza ngokulunga kwakho, okwakho wedwa.
17 O God you have taught me since youth my and until now I declare wonders your.
Kusukela ebutsheni bami, Oh Nkulunkulu, wangifundisa, kuze kube lamuhla ngimemezela imisebenzi yakho emangalisayo.
18 And also until old age - and grey hair O God may not you forsake me until I will declare strength your to a generation to every [one who] he will come might your.
Lokuba sengiluphele sengiyimpunga ungangideli, Oh Nkulunkulu, ngize ngifakaze ngamandla akho esizukulwaneni esizayo, amandla akho kubo bonke abalandelayo.
19 And righteousness your O God [is] to [the] height who you have done great [things] O God who? [is] like you.
Ukulunga kwakho kufika emkhathini, Oh Nkulunkulu, wena osuwenze izinto ezinkulu. Ngubani, Oh Nkulunkulu, onjengawe?
20 Who (you have made see me *Q(K)*) troubles many and calamities you will return (you will preserve alive me *Q(K)*) and from [the] depths of the earth you will return you will bring up me.
Loba usungenze ngabona inhlupheko ezinengi lezibuhlungu, uzangenyula njalo ekujuleni komhlabathi.
21 May you increase - greatness my and may you turn may you comfort me.
Uzalwandisa udumo lwami ungiduduze futhi njalo.
22 Also I - I will praise you with an instrument of a lyre faithfulness your O God my I will make music to you with a harp O holy [one] of Israel.
Ngizakudumisa ngechacho ngenxa yokuthembeka kwakho, Nkulunkulu wami; ngizahlabelela indumiso kuwe ngomqangala, wena oNgcwele ka-Israyeli.
23 They will sing for joy lips my if I will make music to you and self my which you have redeemed.
Izindebe zami zizamemeza ngentokozo lapho ngihlabelela indumiso kuwe mina ongisindisileyo.
24 Also tongue my all the day it will utter righteousness your for they are ashamed for they are abashed [those who] seek harm my.
Ulimi lwami luzatshona lukhuluma ngokulunga kwakho ilanga lonke, ngoba labo abafuna ukungilimaza sebeyangisiwe basanganiswa.
