Psalms 30
1 A Psalm. A Song for the Dedication of the Temple. By David. I will extol you, LORD, for you have raised me up, and have not made my foes to rejoice over me.
Ngizakuphakamisa, Nkosi, ngoba ungenyusile, njalo kawuthokozisanga izitha zami ngami.
2 LORD my God, I cried to you, and you have healed me.
Nkosi Nkulunkulu wami, ngakhalela kuwe, wangisilisa.
3 LORD, you have brought up my soul from Sheol. You have kept me alive, that I should not go down to the pit. (Sheol h7585)
Nkosi, uwukhuphulile umphefumulo wami engcwabeni, ungigcinile ngiphila, ukuze ngingehleli emgodini. (Sheol h7585)
4 Sing praise to the LORD, you holy ones of his. Give thanks to his holy name.
Hlabelelani eNkosini, lina bangcwele bayo, libonge ekukhunjulweni kobungcwele bayo.
5 For his anger is but for a moment. His favor is for a lifetime. Weeping may stay for the night, but joy comes in the morning.
Ngoba ukuthukuthela kwayo kungokwesikhatshana, impilo isemuseni wayo. Ukulila kungahlala kusihlwa, kanti ekuseni kulentokozo.
6 As for me, I said in my prosperity, “I shall never be moved.”
Mina-ke ngathi ekuphumeleleni kwami: Kangiyikunyikinywa laphakade.
7 You, LORD, when you favored me, made my mountain stand strong; but when you hid your face, I was troubled.
Nkosi, ngomusa wakho wenzile intaba yami iqine; wabufihla ubuso bakho, ngahlupheka.
8 I cried to you, LORD. I made supplication to the Lord:
Ngakhala kuwe, Nkosi; ngancenga eNkosini.
9 “What profit is there in my destruction, if I go down to the pit? Shall the dust praise you? Shall it declare your truth?
Kulenzuzo bani egazini lami ekutshoneni kwami emgodini? Uthuli luzakudumisa na? Luzatshumayela iqiniso lakho yini?
10 Hear, LORD, and have mercy on me. LORD, be my helper.”
Zwana, Nkosi, ube lomusa kimi; Nkosi, woba ngumsizi wami.
11 You have turned my mourning into dancing for me. You have removed my sackcloth, and clothed me with gladness,
Uphendule ukukhala kwami kwaba yikusina; ukhuphile isaka lami, wangibhincisa intokozo,
12 to the end that my heart may sing praise to you, and not be silent. LORD my God, I will give thanks to you forever!
ukuze udumo lwami luhlabele indumiso kuwe, lungathuli; Nkosi, Nkulunkulu wami, ngizakubonga kuze kube nininini.
