Psalms 130

1 Yahweh, I have a lot of troubles/many difficulties, so I call out to you.

Ingoma yemiqanso. Ngingaphansi ekujuleni ngiyakhala kuwe, Thixo;

2 Yahweh, hear me, while I call out to you [SYN] to be merciful to me!

Thixo, zwana ilizwi lami. Indlebe zakho kazilalele ukukhala kwami ngicela umusa.

3 Yahweh, if you kept a record of the sins [that we have committed], not one [of us] [RHQ] would escape from being condemned [and punished]

Aluba wena, Thixo ububhala phansi zonke izono, ngubani ongema na Nkosi?

4 But you forgive us, with the result that we greatly revere you.

Kodwa kuwe kulentethelelo; ngalokho uyesatshwa.

5 Yahweh has said [that he would help/rescue me]; I trust what he said, and I wait eagerly for him to do that.

Ngiyamlindela uThixo, umphefumulo wami uyalinda, ngibeka ithemba lami elizwini lakho.

6 I wait for Yahweh [to help me] more than watchmen wait for the light to dawn; yes, I wait more eagerly than they do!

Umphefumulo wami ulindela uThixo okudlula abalindi bemelele ukusa, okudlula abalindi bemelele ukusa.

7 You [my fellow] Israelis, confidently expect that Yahweh [will bless us]. [He will bless us] because he faithfully loves [us], and he is very willing to save/rescue [us].

We Israyeli, beka ithemba lakho kuThixo, ngoba kuye uThixo kulothando olungaphuthiyo njalo kuye kulensindiso epheleleyo.

8 And he will save us Israeli [people] from [being punished for] all the sins that [we] have committed.

Yena ngokwakhe uzahlenga u-Israyeli kuzozonke izono zabo.
