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 Absalom his son. LORD, how many are mine adversaries become! Many are they that rise up against me.
2 Abanengi bathi ngami, “UNkulunkulu kayikumhlenga.”
Many there are that say of my soul: 'There is no salvation for him in God.' (Selah)
3 Kodwa wena uyisihlangu sokungivikela, Oh, Thixo, inkazimulo yami, uphakamisa ikhanda lami.
But thou, O LORD, art a shield about me; my glory, and the lifter up of my head.
4 Ngikhala kakhulu kuThixo uyangiphendula esentabeni yakhe engcwele.
With my voice I call unto the LORD, and He answereth me out of His holy mountain. (Selah)
5 Ngilala phansi ngijumeke; ngibuye ngiphaphame, ngoba uThixo uyangilondoloza.
I lay me down, and I sleep; I awake, for the LORD sustaineth me.
6 Angiyikubesaba abangamatshumitshumi ezinkulungwane abangihlaselayo inxa zonke.
I am not afraid of ten thousands of people, that have set themselves against me round about.
7 Phakama, awu Thixo Ngisindise, Oh Nkulunkulu wami. Zibethe zonke izitha zami emhlathini; akhumule amazinyo ababi.
Arise, O LORD; save me, O my God; for Thou hast smitten all mine enemies upon the cheek, Thou hast broken the teeth of the wicked.
8 KuThixo kuvela insindiso. Sengathi isibusiso Sakho singaba sebantwini Bakho.
Salvation belongeth unto the LORD; Thy blessing be upon Thy people. (Selah)
