Amahubo 143
1 Ihubo likaDavida Oh Thixo, zwana umkhuleko wami, zwana ukukhala kwami ngicela umusa; ngokuthembeka kwakho langokulunga kwakho woza uzongiphumuza.
A psalm of David O Yahweh - hear prayer my give ear! to supplications my in faithfulness your answer me in righteousness your.
2 Ungangenisi inceku yakho ekwahlulelweni, ngoba kakho ophilayo ongabe ulungile kuwe.
And may not you go in judgment with servant your for not he is righteous before you any living [person].
3 Isitha siyangizingela, singincindezela phansi emhlabathini; singenza ngihlale emnyameni njengalabo abafa kudala.
For he has pursued an enemy - self my he has crushed to the ground life my he has caused to dwell me in dark places like dead [people] of antiquity.
4 Kanjalo umphefumulo wami uyaphela ngaphakathi kwami; inhliziyo yami ngaphakathi kwami idanile.
And it has fainted away on me spirit my in [the] midst of me it is appalled heart my.
5 Ngiyazikhumbula insuku zekadeni; ngidla ingqondo ngayo yonke imisebenzi yakho nginakane ngalokho okwenziwe yizandla zakho.
I have remembered days - from antiquity I have meditated on every deed your on [the] work of hands your I meditate.
6 Ngiyelula izandla zami kuwe; umphefumulo wami uyakomela njengomhlabathi owomileyo.
I have spread out hands my to you throat my - like a land exhausted [is] to you (Selah)
7 Ngiphendula masinyane, awu Thixo; umoya wami uyaphela. Ungangifihleli ubuso bakho funa ngibe njengalabo abaya egodini.
Hurry answer me - O Yahweh it is exhausted spirit my may not you hide face your from me and I will be equal with [those who] go down of [the] pit.
8 Akuthi ukusa kungilethele ilizwi lothando lwakho olungaphuthiyo, ngoba sengibeke ithemba lami kuwe. Ngitshengisa indlela okumele ngihambe ngayo, ngoba ngiphakamisela umphefumulo wami kuwe.
Make hear me in the morning - covenant loyalty your for in you I have trusted make known to me [the] way which I will go for to you I lift up desire my.
9 Ngikhulula ezitheni zami, Oh Thixo, ngoba ngizifihla kuwe.
Deliver me from enemies my - O Yahweh to you I have covered.
10 Ngifundisa ukwenza intando yakho, ngoba unguNkulunkulu wami; sengathi uMoya wakho omuhle kakhulu ungangikhokhela emhlabathini ochayileyo.
Teach me - to do will your for you [are] God my spirit your good may it lead me in a land of level ground.
11 Ngenxa yebizo lakho, Oh Thixo, londoloza impilo yami; ngokulunga kwakho ngikhupha ekuhluphekeni.
For [the] sake of name your O Yahweh you will preserve alive me in righteousness your - you will bring out from trouble life my.
12 Ethandweni lwakho olungaphuthiyo, thulisa izitha zami; bhubhisa bonke abangizondayo, ngoba ngiyinceku yakho.
And in covenant loyalty your you will destroy enemies my and you will destroy all [the] opposers of life my for I [am] servant your.
