< Amahubo 130 >
1 Ingoma yemiqanso. Ngingaphansi ekujuleni ngiyakhala kuwe, Thixo;
A Song of Ascents. Out of the depths have I called Thee, O LORD.
2 Thixo, zwana ilizwi lami. Indlebe zakho kazilalele ukukhala kwami ngicela umusa.
Lord, hearken unto my voice; let Thine ears be attentive to the voice of my supplications.
3 Aluba wena, Thixo ububhala phansi zonke izono, ngubani ongema na Nkosi?
If Thou, LORD, shouldest mark iniquities, O Lord, who could stand?
4 Kodwa kuwe kulentethelelo; ngalokho uyesatshwa.
For with Thee there is forgiveness, that Thou mayest be feared.
5 Ngiyamlindela uThixo, umphefumulo wami uyalinda, ngibeka ithemba lami elizwini lakho.
I wait for the LORD, 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 watchmen for the morning; yea, more than watchmen for the morning.
7 We Israyeli, beka ithemba lakho kuThixo, ngoba kuye uThixo kulothando olungaphuthiyo njalo kuye kulensindiso epheleleyo.
O Israel, hope in the LORD; for with the LORD there is mercy, and with Him is plenteous redemption.
8 Yena ngokwakhe uzahlenga u-Israyeli kuzozonke izono zabo.
And He will redeem Israel from all his iniquities.
