Psalms 16
1 A Secret Treasure of David. Preserve me, O God, for I did trust in Thee.
Ngilondoloza, Nkulunkulu, ngoba ngithembela kuwe.
2 Thou hast said to Jehovah, 'My Lord Thou [art];' My good [is] not for thine own sake;
Ngithe eNkosini: UyiNkosi yami, ukulunga kwami kakufiki kuwe.
3 For the holy ones who [are] in the land, And the honourable, all my delight [is] in them.
Kodwa kubangcwele abasemhlabeni, labahlekazi, ontokozo yami yonke ikubo.
4 Multiplied are their griefs, [Who] have hastened backward; I pour not out their libations of blood, Nor do I take up their names on my lips.
Zizakwanda insizi zabagijimela omunye unkulunkulu; kangiyikunikela iminikelo yabo yokunathwayo yegazi; lamabizo abo kangiyikuwaphatha endebeni zami.
5 Jehovah [is] the portion of my share, and of my cup, Thou — Thou dost uphold my lot.
INkosi iyisabelo selifa lami lesenkezo yami; wena uphethe isabelo sami.
6 Lines have fallen to me in pleasant places, Yea, a beauteous inheritance [is] for me.
Imizila iwele kimi ezindaweni ezithokozisayo; yebo, ngilelifa elibukekayo.
7 I bless Jehovah who hath counselled me; Also [in] the nights my reins instruct me.
Ngizayibonga iNkosi engelulekayo; lebusuku izinso zami ziyangiqondisa.
8 I did place Jehovah before me continually, Because — at my right hand I am not moved.
Ngibekile iNkosi phambi kwami njalonjalo; ngoba ingakwesokunene sami, kangiyikunyikinywa.
9 Therefore hath my heart been glad, And my honour doth rejoice, Also my flesh dwelleth confidently:
Ngakho inhliziyo yami iyathokoza, lodumo lwami luyajabula, lenyama yami izahlala ivikelekile.
10 For Thou dost not leave my soul to Sheol, Nor givest thy saintly one to see corruption. (Sheol h7585)
Ngoba kawutshiyanga umphefumulo wami esihogweni, njalo kawuyikunikela ongcwele wakho ukuthi abone ukubola. (Sheol h7585)
11 Thou causest me to know the path of life; Fulness of joys [is] with Thy presence, Pleasant things by Thy right hand for ever!
Uzangazisa indlela yempilo; ukugcwala kwentokozo kusebukhoneni bakho, ngakwesokunene sakho kukhona izinjabulo phakade.
