Amahubo 141
1 Ihubo likaDavida Oh Thixo, ngiyakubiza; woza masinyane kimi. Zwana ilizwi lami nxa ngikubiza.
A psalm of David O Yahweh I call out to you make haste! to me give ear to! voice my when call I to you.
2 Sengathi umkhuleko wami ungema phambi kwakho njengempepha; kuthi ukuphakama kwezandla zami kube njengomhlatshelo wakusihlwa.
May it be established prayer my incense before you [the] raising of hands my an offering of evening.
3 Ngibekela umlindi womlomo wami, Oh Thixo, qaphela umnyango wezindebe zami.
Set! O Yahweh a guard for mouth my keep watch! over [the] door of lips my.
4 Ungayekeli inhliziyo yami ihugwe ngokubi, ngingene ezenzweni ezimbi labantu abayizigangi; mangingadli izibiliboco zabo.
May not you turn heart my to anything - evil to practice practices - in wickedness with people [who] do wickedness and not I will eat in delicacies their.
5 Ake ngitshaywe ngumuntu olungileyo, kungumusa; kake angikhuze, kungamafutha ekhanda lami. Ikhanda lami kaliyikukwala. Ikanti umkhuleko wami uhlezi umelana lezenzo zezigangi.
Let him strike me a righteous [person] - loyalty and let him rebuke me oil of head may not it refuse head my for still and prayer my [is] on evil deeds their.
6 Ababusi bazo bazaphoselwa phansi emaweni, lababi bazafunda ukuthi amazwi ami ayekhulunywe kuhle.
They have been thrown down at [the] hands of a rock judges their and they will hear words my for they are pleasant.
7 Bazakuthi, “Njengalowo olimayo eqeqebula umhlabathi, kanjalo amathambo ethu achithiziwe emlonyeni weliba.” (Sheol h7585)
Like [one who] plows and [who] breaks up the earth they have been scattered bones our to [the] mouth of Sheol. (Sheol h7585)
8 Kodwa amehlo ami agxile kuwe, Oh Thixo woBukhosi; kuwe ngiyaphephela unganginikeli ekufeni.
For [are] to you - (O Yahweh *L(ah+b)*) O Lord eyes my in you I take refuge may not you lay bare life my.
9 Ngivikela emijibileni asebeyithiyele mina, ezifini ezithiywe yizigangi.
Keep me from [the] hands of [the] trap [which] they have laid for me and [the] snares of [those who] do wickedness.
10 Akuthi ababi bawele emambuleni abo, mina ngidlule kuhle ngiphephile.
Let them fall in own nets his wicked [people] together I until I will pass by.
