Amahubo 130

1 Ingoma yemiqanso. Ngingaphansi ekujuleni ngiyakhala kuwe, Thixo;

A Song of the Ascents. From depths I have called Thee, Jehovah.

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

Lord, hearken to my voice, Thine ears are attentive to the voice of my supplications.

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

If iniquities Thou dost observe, O Lord, who doth stand?

4 Kodwa kuwe kulentethelelo; ngalokho uyesatshwa.

But with Thee [is] forgiveness, that Thou mayest be feared.

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

I hoped [for] Jehovah — hoped hath my soul, And for His word I have waited.

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 doth wait on Jehovah, For with Jehovah [is] kindness, And abundant with Him [is] redemption.

8 Yena ngokwakhe uzahlenga u-Israyeli kuzozonke izono zabo.

And He doth redeem Israel from all his iniquities!
