Amahubo 130

1 Ingoma yemiqanso. Ngingaphansi ekujuleni ngiyakhala kuwe, Thixo;

A Song of degrees. Out of the depths have I cried to thee, O LORD.

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

LORD, hear my voice: let thy 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 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 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 they that watch for the morning: [I say], [more than] they that watch for the morning.

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

Let 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 shall redeem Israel from all his iniquities.
