Psalms 86
1 A Prayer of David. Bow down thy ear, O LORD, hear me: for I am poor and needy.
Umkhuleko kaDavida Zwana, Oh Thixo, ungiphendule, ngoba ngingumyanga ngiyaswela.
2 Preserve my soul; for I am holy: O thou my God, save thy servant that trusteth in thee.
Vikela impilo yami, ngoba ngizinikele kuwe; sindisa inceku yakho ekuthembayo; UnguNkulunkulu wami.
3 Be merciful to me, O Lord: for I cry to thee daily.
Woba lesihawu kimi, Oh Thixo, ngoba ngitshona ngikubiza ilanga lonke.
4 Rejoice the soul of thy servant: for to thee, O Lord, do I lift up my soul.
Letha ukuthokoza encekwini yakho, ngoba kuwe, Oh Thixo, ngiphakamisela umphefumulo wami.
5 For thou, Lord, art good, and ready to forgive; and abundant in mercy to all them that call upon thee.
Uyathethelela njalo ulungile, Oh Thixo, ugcwele uthando kulabo abakhuleka kuwe.
6 Give ear, O LORD, to my prayer; and attend to the voice of my supplications.
Zwana umkhuleko wami, Oh Thixo; lalela ukukhala kwami ngicela umusa.
7 In the day of my trouble I will call upon thee: for thou wilt answer me.
Mhla ngiphakathi kokuhlupheka ngizakhala kuwe, ngoba uzangiphendula.
8 Among the gods there is none like thee, O Lord; neither are there any works like thy works.
Phakathi kwabonkulunkulu kakho onjengawe, Oh Thixo; kakulazenzo ezingalinganiswa lezakho.
9 All nations whom thou hast made shall come and worship before thee, O Lord; and shall glorify thy name.
Zonke izizwe owazenzayo zizakuza zikhonze kuwe, Nkosi; zizaletha udumo ebizweni lakho.
10 For thou art great, and doest wondrous things: thou art God alone.
Ngoba umkhulu njalo wenza imisebenzi emangalisayo; wena wedwa unguNkulunkulu.
11 Teach me thy way, O LORD; I will walk in thy truth: unite my heart to fear thy name.
Ngifundisa indlela yakho, Oh Thixo, ukuze ngihambe eqinisweni lakho; ngipha inhliziyo engaxamalazanga, ukuze ngilesabe ibizo lakho.
12 I will praise thee, O Lord my God, with all my heart: and I will glorify thy name for evermore.
Ngizakudumisa, Nkosi Nkulunkulu wami, ngenhliziyo yami yonke; ngizalidumisa ibizo lakho laphakade.
13 For great is thy mercy toward me: and thou hast delivered my soul from the lowest hell. (Sheol h7585)
Ngoba lukhulu uthando lwakho kimi; ungenyule ekujuleni kwendawo yabafileyo. (Sheol h7585)
14 O God, the proud have risen against me, and the assemblies of violent men have sought after my soul; and have not set thee before them.
Iziqholo ziyangihlasela, Oh Nkulunkulu iqembu lamadoda alesihluku lizingela impilo yami abantu abangakunanziyo wena.
15 But thou, O Lord, art a God full of compassion, and gracious, longsuffering, and abundant in mercy and truth.
Kodwa wena, Nkosi, unguNkulunkulu olozwelo, olobubelo, ophuza ukuzonda, owandayo ngothando lokuthembeka.
16 O turn to me, and have mercy upon me; give thy strength to thy servant, and save the son of thy handmaid.
Phendukela ngakimi ube lesihawu kimi; veza amandla akho ngenceku yakho, ngisindise ngoba ngiyakukhonza, njengokwenziwa ngumama.
17 Show me a sign for good; that they who hate me may see it, and be ashamed: because thou, LORD, hast helped me, and comforted me.
Ngipha isiboniso sokulunga kwakho, ukuze izitha zami zisibone ziyangeke, ngoba wena, Oh Thixo, usungisizile njalo wangiduduza.
