Psalms 130

1 A Song of the Ascents. From depths I have called Thee, Jehovah.

Ingoma yemiqanso. Ngingaphansi ekujuleni ngiyakhala kuwe, Thixo;

2 Lord, hearken to my voice, Thine ears are attentive to the voice of my supplications.

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

3 If iniquities Thou dost observe, O Lord, who doth stand?

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

4 But with Thee [is] forgiveness, that Thou mayest be feared.

Kodwa kuwe kulentethelelo; ngalokho uyesatshwa.

5 I hoped [for] Jehovah — hoped hath my soul, And for His word I have waited.

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

6 My soul [is] for the Lord, More than those watching for morning, Watching for morning!

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

7 Israel doth wait on Jehovah, For with Jehovah [is] kindness, And abundant with Him [is] redemption.

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

8 And He doth redeem Israel from all his iniquities!

Yena ngokwakhe uzahlenga u-Israyeli kuzozonke izono zabo.
