Amahubo 131

1 Ingoma yemiqanso. ElikaDavida. Inhliziyo yami kayizikhukhumezi, Oh Thixo, amehlo ami kawaziphakamisi; kangizihluphi ngezindaba ezinkulu loba ngezinto ezimangalisayo kimi.

“A song of the degrees by David.” O Lord, my heart was not haughty, nor were my eyes lofty: neither have I walked after matters too great, or those too wonderful for me.

2 Kodwa ngiwupholisile ngawuthulisa umphefumulo wami; njengomntwana okhutshwe ebeleni likanina, njengomntwana okhutshwe ebeleni unjalo umphefumulo wami uthule ngaphakathi kwami.

Surely I have pacified and stilled my soul, like the suckling on its mother's breast: like a suckling is in me my soul.

3 Oh, Israyeli, beka ithemba lakho kuThixo manje kuze kube phakade.

Let Israel wait for the Lord from this time forth and for ever more.
