Amahubo 28
1 Ihubo likaDavida. Ngikhala Kuwe, Oh Thixo, Dwala lami; ungangivaleli indlebe Yakho. Phela nxa ulokhu uthule ngizakuba njengalabo asebengene egodini.
A psalm for David himself. Unto thee will I cry, O Lord: O my God, be not thou silent to me: lest thou be silent to me, I become like them that go down into the pit.
2 Zwana ukukhala kwami ngicela umusa, nxa ngikhala Kuwe ngicela usizo, nxa ngiphakamisela izandla zami eNdaweni Yakho eNgcwelengcwele.
Hear, O Lord, the voice of my supplication, when I pray to thee; when I lift up my hands to thy holy temple.
3 Ungangihuduli ndawonye lababi, lalabo abenza ububi, abakhuluma kamnandi labomakhelwane kodwa begcine ububi ezinhliziyweni zabo.
Draw me not away together with the wicked; and with the workers of iniquity destroy me not: Who speak peace with their neighbour, but evils are in their hearts.
4 Bajezisele izenzo zabo kanye lemisebenzi yabo emibi; bajezisele imisebenzi yezandla zabo, ubaphindisele ngokubafaneleyo.
Give them according to their works, and according to the wickedness of their inventions. According to the works of their hands give thou to them: render to them their reward.
5 Njengoba bengananzi imisebenzi kaThixo lalokho okwenziwe yizandla zakhe, uzababhidlizela phansi angaphindi ababumbe futhi.
Because they have not understood the works of the Lord, and the operations of his hands: thou shalt destroy them, and shalt not build them up.
6 Udumo kalube kuye uThixo, ngoba ukuzwile ukukhala kwami ngicela umusa.
Blessed be the Lord, for he hath heard the voice of my supplication.
7 UThixo ungamandla ami lesihlangu sami; inhliziyo yami yethemba Kuye, ngiyancedwa. Inhliziyo yami iyaqolotsha ngentokozo njalo ngizambonga ngehubo.
The Lord is my helper and my protector: in him hath my heart confided, and I have been helped. And my flesh hath flourished again, and with my will I will give praise to him.
8 UThixo ungamandla abantu bakhe, inqaba yensindiso yogcotshiweyo wakhe.
The Lord is the strength of his people, and the protector of the salvation of his anointed.
9 Sindisa abantu Bakho ubusise ilifa lakho; woba ngumelusi wabo ubathwale lanininini.
Save, O Lord, thy people, and bless thy inheritance: and rule them and exalt them for ever.
