Amahubo 130

1 Ingoma yemiqanso. Ngingaphansi ekujuleni ngiyakhala kuwe, Thixo;

A SONG OF THE ASCENTS. I have called You from the depths, YHWH.

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

Lord, listen to my voice, Your ears are attentive to the voice of my supplications.

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

If You observe iniquities, Lord YAH, who stands?

4 Kodwa kuwe kulentethelelo; ngalokho uyesatshwa.

But forgiveness [is] with You, that You may be feared.

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

I hoped [for] YHWH—my soul has hoped, And I have waited for His word.

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

My soul [is] for the Lord, More than those watching for morning, Watching for morning!

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

Israel waits on YHWH, For kindness [is] with YHWH, And redemption [is] abundant with Him.

8 Yena ngokwakhe uzahlenga u-Israyeli kuzozonke izono zabo.

And He redeems Israel from all his iniquities!
