Amahubo 3
1 Ihubo likaDavida ebalekela indodana yakhe u-Abhisalomu. Oh Thixo banengi kangaka abayizitha zami! Banengi kangaka abangihlaselayo!
A Psalme of Dauid, when he fled from his sonne Absalom. Lord, howe are mine aduersaries increased? howe many rise against me?
2 Abanengi bathi ngami, “UNkulunkulu kayikumhlenga.”
Many say to my soule, There is no helpe for him in God. (Selah)
3 Kodwa wena uyisihlangu sokungivikela, Oh, Thixo, inkazimulo yami, uphakamisa ikhanda lami.
But thou Lord art a buckler for me: my glory, and the lifter vp of mine head.
4 Ngikhala kakhulu kuThixo uyangiphendula esentabeni yakhe engcwele.
I did call vnto the Lord with my voyce, and he heard me out of his holy mountaine. (Selah)
5 Ngilala phansi ngijumeke; ngibuye ngiphaphame, ngoba uThixo uyangilondoloza.
I layed me downe and slept, and rose vp againe: for the Lord susteined me.
6 Angiyikubesaba abangamatshumitshumi ezinkulungwane abangihlaselayo inxa zonke.
I will not be afrayde for ten thousand of the people, that should beset me round about.
7 Phakama, awu Thixo Ngisindise, Oh Nkulunkulu wami. Zibethe zonke izitha zami emhlathini; akhumule amazinyo ababi.
O Lord, arise: helpe me, my God: for thou hast smitten all mine enemies vpon the cheeke bone: thou hast broken the teeth of the wicked.
8 KuThixo kuvela insindiso. Sengathi isibusiso Sakho singaba sebantwini Bakho.
Saluation belongeth vnto the Lord, and thy blessing is vpon thy people. (Selah)
