Amahubo 130

1 Ingoma yemiqanso. Ngingaphansi ekujuleni ngiyakhala kuwe, Thixo;

A Song of degrees. Out of the depths do I call upon thee, Jehovah.

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

Lord, hear my voice; let thine ears be attentive to the voice of my supplication.

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

If thou, Jah, shouldest mark iniquities, Lord, who shall stand?

4 Kodwa kuwe kulentethelelo; ngalokho uyesatshwa.

But there is forgiveness with thee, that thou mayest be feared.

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

I wait for Jehovah; my soul doth wait, and in his word do I hope.

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

My soul [waiteth] for the Lord more than the watchers [wait] for the morning, [more than] the watchers for the morning.

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

Let Israel hope in Jehovah, because with Jehovah there is loving-kindness, and with him is plenteous redemption;

8 Yena ngokwakhe uzahlenga u-Israyeli kuzozonke izono zabo.

And he will redeem Israel from all his iniquities.
