Amahubo 130

1 Ingoma yemiqanso. Ngingaphansi ekujuleni ngiyakhala kuwe, Thixo;

A Song of the going up. Out of the deep have I sent up my cry to you, O Lord.

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

Lord, let my voice come before you: let your ears be awake to the voice of my prayer.

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

O Jah, if you took note of every sin, who would go free?

4 Kodwa kuwe kulentethelelo; ngalokho uyesatshwa.

But there is forgiveness with you, so that you may be feared.

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

I am waiting for the Lord, my soul is waiting for him, and my hope is in his word.

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

My soul is watching for the Lord more than those who are watching for the morning; yes, more than the watchers for the morning.

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

O Israel, have hope in the Lord; for with the Lord is mercy and full salvation.

8 Yena ngokwakhe uzahlenga u-Israyeli kuzozonke izono zabo.

And he will make Israel free from all his sins.
