Amahubo 130

1 Ingoma yemiqanso. Ngingaphansi ekujuleni ngiyakhala kuwe, Thixo;

“A psalm of the steps, or the goings up.” Out of the depths do I cry to thee, O LORD!

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

O Lord! listen to my voice, Let thine ears be attentive to my supplication!

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

If thou, LORD, shouldst treasure up transgressions, Lord, who could stand?

4 Kodwa kuwe kulentethelelo; ngalokho uyesatshwa.

But with thee is forgiveness, That thou mayst be feared.

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

I trust in the LORD; my soul doth trust, And in his promise do I confide.

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

My soul waiteth for the LORD More than they who watch for the morning; Yea, more than they who watch for the morning!

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

O Israel! trust in the LORD! For with the LORD is mercy, And with him is plenteous redemption.

8 Yena ngokwakhe uzahlenga u-Israyeli kuzozonke izono zabo.

He will redeem Israel From all his iniquities.
