Amahubo 3
1 Ihubo likaDavida ebalekela indodana yakhe u-Abhisalomu. Oh Thixo banengi kangaka abayizitha zami! Banengi kangaka abangihlaselayo!
A Psalm of David. When he fled from the face of his son, Absalom. Lord, why have those who trouble me been multiplied? Many rise up against me.
2 Abanengi bathi ngami, “UNkulunkulu kayikumhlenga.”
Many say to my soul, “There is no salvation for him in his God.” (Pause)
3 Kodwa wena uyisihlangu sokungivikela, Oh, Thixo, inkazimulo yami, uphakamisa ikhanda lami.
But you, Lord, are my supporter, my glory, and the one who raises up my head.
4 Ngikhala kakhulu kuThixo uyangiphendula esentabeni yakhe engcwele.
I have cried out to the Lord with my voice, and he has heard me from his holy mountain. (Pause)
5 Ngilala phansi ngijumeke; ngibuye ngiphaphame, ngoba uThixo uyangilondoloza.
I have slept, and I have been stupefied. But I awakened because the Lord has taken me up.
6 Angiyikubesaba abangamatshumitshumi ezinkulungwane abangihlaselayo inxa zonke.
I will not fear the thousands of people surrounding me. Rise up, Lord. Save me, my God.
7 Phakama, awu Thixo Ngisindise, Oh Nkulunkulu wami. Zibethe zonke izitha zami emhlathini; akhumule amazinyo ababi.
For you have struck all those who oppose me without cause. You have broken the teeth of sinners.
8 KuThixo kuvela insindiso. Sengathi isibusiso Sakho singaba sebantwini Bakho.
Salvation is of the Lord, and your blessing is upon your people. (Pause)
