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 are mine adversaries increased! many are they that rise up against me.
2 Abanengi bathi ngami, “UNkulunkulu kayikumhlenga.”
Many there be which say of my soul, There is no help 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 mine head.
4 Ngikhala kakhulu kuThixo uyangiphendula esentabeni yakhe engcwele.
I cry unto the LORD with my voice, and he answereth me out of his holy hill. (Selah)
5 Ngilala phansi ngijumeke; ngibuye ngiphaphame, ngoba uThixo uyangilondoloza.
I laid me down and slept; I awaked; for the LORD sustaineth me.
6 Angiyikubesaba abangamatshumitshumi ezinkulungwane abangihlaselayo inxa zonke.
I will not be afraid of ten thousands of the 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 bone; 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)
