Amahubo 25
1 ElikaDavida. Kuwe, Thixo, ngiphakamisela umphefumulo wami.
By David. To you, LORD, I lift up my soul.
2 Ngethemba kuwe, ungangiyekeli ngiyangeka, futhi ungayekeli izitha zami zinginqobe.
My God, I have trusted in you. Don’t let me be shamed. Don’t let my enemies triumph over me.
3 Kakukho bani othemba lakhe likuwe ozayangiswa lanini, kodwa bazayangiswa abadinga ukulimaza kungelasizatho.
Yes, no one who waits for you will be shamed. They will be shamed who deal treacherously without cause.
4 Ngibonisa izindlela Zakho, Oh Thixo, ngifundisa izindlela Zakho;
Show me your ways, LORD. Teach me your paths.
5 ngikhokhela eqinisweni Lakho ungifundise ngoba unguNkulunkulu, uMsindisi wami, lethemba lami likuwe insuku zonke.
Guide me in your truth, and teach me, for you are the God of my salvation. I wait for you all day long.
6 Khumbula, Oh Thixo, isihawu Sakho esikhulu kanye lothando, ngoba konke kuvela ekadeni.
LORD, remember your tender mercies and your loving kindness, for they are from old times.
7 Ungakhumbuli izono zobutsha bami lezindlela zokuhlamuka kwami; ngikhumbula ngokufanele uthando Lwakho, ngoba ulungile, Oh Thixo.
Don’t remember the sins of my youth, nor my transgressions. Remember me according to your loving kindness, for your goodness’ sake, LORD.
8 UThixo ulungile, uqotho; ngakho weluleka izoni ngezindlela zakhe.
Good and upright is the LORD, therefore he will instruct sinners in the way.
9 Uhola abathobekileyo kulokho okuqondileyo abafundise indlela yakhe.
He will guide the humble in justice. He will teach the humble his way.
10 Zonke izindlela zikaThixo zilothando, ziyathembeka kulabo abagcina izimiso zesivumelwano Sakhe.
All the paths of the LORD are loving kindness and truth to such as keep his covenant and his testimonies.
11 Ngenxa yegama Lakho, Oh Thixo, thethelela ububi bami, loba bubukhulu.
For your name’s sake, LORD, pardon my iniquity, for it is great.
12 Ngubani-ke umuntu omesabayo uThixo? Uzameluleka ngaleyondlela ayimiselweyo.
What man is he who fears the LORD? He shall instruct him in the way that he shall choose.
13 Uzaphila insuku zakhe ekhomba ngophakathi, lezizukulwane zakhe zizakudla ilifa lelizwe.
His soul will dwell at ease. His offspring will inherit the land.
14 Bayathenjwa nguThixo labo abamesabayo; ubenza basazi isivumelwano Sakhe.
The friendship of the LORD is with those who fear him. He will show them his covenant.
15 Amehlo ami ahlezi ekuThixo lanini, ngoba nguye kuphela ozakhumula inyawo zami esithiyweni.
My eyes are ever on the LORD, for he will pluck my feet out of the net.
16 Phendukela kimi ube lobubele lami, ngoba ngilesizungu, ngikhathazekile.
Turn to me, and have mercy on me, for I am desolate and afflicted.
17 Inhlupheko zenhliziyo yami sezandile; ngikhulula ekudabukeni kwami.
The troubles of my heart are enlarged. Oh bring me out of my distresses.
18 Khangela ukukhathazeka kwami lokuhawula kwami, ususe zonke izono zami.
Consider my affliction and my travail. Forgive all my sins.
19 Ake ubone ukuthi izitha zami sezande kangakanani, lokuthi zingizonda kubi kanjani!
Consider my enemies, for they are many. They hate me with cruel hatred.
20 Linda impilo yami ungihlenge; ungangiyekeli ngiyangeke, ngoba ngizuza isiphephelo Kuwe.
Oh keep my soul, and deliver me. Let me not be disappointed, for I take refuge in you.
21 Sengathi ubuqotho lokuqonda kungangivikela, ngoba ngizuza isiphephelo Kuwe.
Let integrity and uprightness preserve me, for I wait for you.
22 Hlenga u-Israyeli, Oh Nkulunkulu, kuzozonke inhlupheko zakhe.
God, redeem Israel out of all his troubles.
