Amahubo 31
1 Kumqondisi wokuhlabela. Ihubo likaDavida. Kuwe Thixo, sengithole isiphephelo; mangingayangiswa lanini; ngihlenga ngokulunga Kwakho.
To the choirmaster a psalm of David. In you O Yahweh I have taken refuge may not I be ashamed for ever in righteousness your deliver me.
2 Ngilalela, woza ngokuphangisa ungihlenge; woba lidwala lami lokuphephela, inqaba eqinileyo yokungisindisa.
Incline to me - ear your quickly deliver me become of me - a rock of refuge a house of strongholds to save me.
3 Njengoba ulidwala lami lenqaba yami, ngikhokhela ungihole ngenxa yegama Lakho.
For [are] rock my and stronghold my you and for [the] sake of name your you guide me and you lead me.
4 Ngikhulula emjibileni othiyelwe mina, ngoba uyisiphephelo sami.
You will bring out me from [the] net which people have hidden for me for you [are] place of refuge my.
5 Ezandleni Zakho nginikela umphefumulo wami; ngihlenga, Oh Thixo, Nkulunkulu weqiniso.
In hand your I entrust spirit my you have redeemed me O Yahweh God of faithfulness.
6 Ngiyabazonda labo abanamathela izithombe eziyize; ngithemba kuThixo.
I hate those [who] keep vanities of falsehood and I to Yahweh I trust.
7 Ngizathokoza ngijabule othandweni Lwakho, ngoba wakubona ukuhlupheka kwami wabazi ubuhlungu bomphefumulo wami.
I will rejoice and I will be glad in covenant loyalty your that you saw affliction my you knew [the] troubles of self my.
8 Kawungifuqelanga esitheni kodwa ugxilise inyawo zami endaweni ebanzi.
And not you delivered up me in [the] hand of an enemy you made stand in roomy place feet my.
9 Woba lomusa kimi, Oh Thixo, ngoba ngiyahlupheka; amehlo ami ayafiphala ngenxa yosizi, umphefumulo wami lomzimba wami ngokudabuka.
Show favor to me O Yahweh for it is distress to me it has wasted away with grief eye my being my and belly my.
10 Impilo yami incitshiswa yikukhathazeka, leminyaka yami yikububula; amandla ami ayadeda ngenxa yokuhlupheka kwami, lamathambo ami aphela amandla.
For they have wasted away in sorrow life my and years my with groaning it has failed by iniquity my strength my and bones my they have wasted away.
11 Ngenxa yezitha zami, sengiyinhlekisa enjani kubomakhelwane; sengiyinhlekisa kubangane bami labo abangibonayo ezindleleni bayangibalekela.
From all opposers my I have become a reproach and to neighbors my - exceedingly and a dread to acquaintances my [those who] see me in the street they flee from me.
12 Sebekhohliwe ngami kungathi sengafa; senginjengembiza yebumba ehlephukileyo.
I have been forgotten like a dead [person] from [the] heart I have become like a vessel [which] is destroyed.
13 Ngoba ngizwa izingoma zabanengi; kulezisongo inxa zonke; bakha amasu okungilimaza, njalo baceba ukuchitha impilo yami.
For I have heard - [the] slander of many [people] terror [is] from around about when they seated themselves together on me to take life my they plotted.
14 Kodwa ngiyethemba Kuwe, Thixo; ngithi, “UnguNkulunkulu wami.”
And I - on you I rely O Yahweh I say [are] God my you.
15 Izikhathi zami zisezandleni Zakho; ngisindisa ezitheni zami lakulabo abangizingelayo.
[are] in Hand your times my deliver me from [the] hand of enemies my and from pursuers my.
16 Ubuso Bakho mabukhazimulele encekwini Yakho; ngisindisa ngothando Lwakho olungehlulekiyo.
Make shine! face your on servant your save me in covenant loyalty your.
17 Mangingahlaziswa, Oh Thixo, ngoba sengikhalile Kuwe; kodwa akuthi ababi bahlaziswe balale bathule zwi ethuneni. (Sheol h7585)
O Yahweh may not I be ashamed for I have called out to you may they be ashamed wicked [people] may they be silent to Sheol. (Sheol h7585)
18 Akuthi izindebe zabo zamanga zithuliswe, ezikhuluma ngokuzigqaja lokweyisa bakhuluma ngobuqholo ngabantu abalungileyo.
May they be dumb lips of falsehood which speak on [the] righteous arrogance with pride and contempt.
19 Kukhulu kangakanani ukulunga Kwakho okugcinele labo abakwesabayo, okunika obala abantu bebona kulabo abaphephela Kuwe.
How! great [is] goodness your which you have stored up for [those] fearing you [which] you have done for [those who] take refuge in you before [the] children of humankind.
20 Uyabafihla ekusithekeni kobukhona Bakho emaqingeni ababi uyabagcina bevikelwe emzini wakhe ezilimini ezichothozayo.
You hide them - in [the] hiding place of presence your from [the] conspiracies of man you hide them in a shelter from strife of tongues.
21 Udumo alube kuThixo ngoba watshengisa uthando lwakhe olumangalisayo kimi ngisedolobheni elihanqiweyo yimpi.
[be] blessed Yahweh for he has made wonderful covenant loyalty his to me in a city of siege.
22 Ngiphakathi kokwethuka ngathi, “Sengisusiwe kangisabonakali Kuwe!” Kanti wakuzwa ukukhala kwami ngicela umusa, lapho ngangicela kuwe ukusizwa.
And I - I said when was hastening I I have been cut off from before eyes your nevertheless you heard [the] sound of supplications my when cried for help I to you.
23 Mthandeni uThixo, lina bangcwele bakhe! UThixo uyabalondoloza abathembekileyo, kodwa abazigqajayo uyabaphindisela ngokugcweleyo.
Love Yahweh O all faithful [people] his faithful [people] [is] preserving Yahweh and [is] repaying on excess [one who] does pride.
24 Qinani lime isibindi, lonke lina elithemba uThixo.
Be strong so may it show strength heart your O all those [who] wait for Yahweh.
