Amahubo 13

1 Kumqondisi wokuhlabela. Ihubo likaDavida. Koze kube nini, Oh Thixo? Uzangikhohlwa lanininini na? Koze kube nini ungifihlela ubuso bakho na?

Unto the end, a psalm for David. How long, O Lord, wilt thou forget me unto the end? how long dost thou turn away thy face from me?

2 Koze kube nini ngitshukumisana lemicabango yami, inhliziyo yami ihlale idabukile insuku zonke na? Koze kube nini isitha sami sitshakala phezu kwami?

How long shall I take counsels in my soul, sorrow in my heart all the day?

3 Ngizwela ungiphendule, Oh Thixo Nkulunkulu wami. Khanyisela amehlo ami funa ngihle ngilale kokuphela;

How long shall my enemy be exalted over me?

4 isitha sami sizakuthi, “Sengimehlule,” labangizondayo bathokoze nxa ngisiwa.

Consider, and hear me, O Lord my God. Enlighten my eyes that I never sleep in death:

5 Kodwa ngiyalwethemba uthando lwabo olungapheliyo; inhliziyo yami iyathokoza ngensindiso yakho.

Lest at any time my enemy say: I have prevailed against him. They that trouble me will rejoice when I am moved:

6 Ngizahlabelela kuThixo, ngoba ungenzele ukulunga.

But I have trusted in thy mercy. My heart shall rejoice in thy salvation: I will sing to the Lord, who giveth me good things: yea I will sing to the name of the Lord the most high.
