Amahubo 32

1 Ihubo likaDavida. Ubusisiwe lowo oziphambeko zakhe zithethelelwe, ozono zakhe zisibekelwe.

Blessed is he whose transgression is forgiven, whose sin is covered.

2 Ubusisiwe lowo ongasoze abalelwe isono sakhe nguThixo, njalo ongelankohliso emoyeni wakhe.

Blessed is the man to whom the LORD imputes not iniquity, and in whose spirit there is no guile.

3 Ngathi lapho ngithule, amathambo ami ababuthakathaka ngenxa yokububula kwami ilanga lonke.

When I kept silence, my bones waxed old through my roaring all the day long.

4 Ngoba imini lobusuku isandla Sakho sasingelekile, singisinda; amandla ami aphela kwafana lesikhudumezi sehlobo.

For day and night your hand was heavy on me: my moisture is turned into the drought of summer. (Selah)

5 Lapho-ke ngasengisivuma isono sami Kuwe angabe ngisasibekela ububi bami. Ngathi, “Ngizazivuma iziphambeko zami kuThixo,” walithethelela icala lesono sami.

I acknowledge my sin to you, and my iniquity have I not hid. I said, I will confess my transgressions to the LORD; and you forgave the iniquity of my sin. (Selah)

6 Ngakho akuthi wonke umuntu othembekileyo akhuleke kuwe usatholakala; ngeqiniso kuzakuthi lapho impophoma seziqubuka, kabayi kumfinyelela.

For this shall every one that is godly pray to you in a time when you may be found: surely in the floods of great waters they shall not come near to him.

7 Uyindawo yami yokuphephela; uzangivikela enkathazweni ungizungeze ngezingoma zensindiso.

You are my hiding place; you shall preserve me from trouble; you shall compass me about with songs of deliverance. (Selah)

8 Ngizakutshengisa ngikufundise indlela ofanele uhambe ngayo; ngizakweluleka ngikulinde.

I will instruct you and teach you in the way which you shall go: I will guide you with my eye.

9 Ungabi njengebhiza loba imbongolo, khona akulakuzwisisa kodwa kumele kukhokhelwa ngamatomu ukuze umuntu kumlalele.

Be you not as the horse, or as the mule, which have no understanding: whose mouth must be held in with bit and bridle, lest they come near to you.

10 Zinengi izikhalazo zababi, kodwa uthando lukaThixo olungaphuthiyo luyamzungeza umuntu othemba kuye.

Many sorrows shall be to the wicked: but he that trusts in the LORD, mercy shall compass him about.

11 Thokozani kuThixo, lithabe lina balungileyo; hlabelelani lonke lina eliqotho enhliziyweni!

Be glad in the LORD, and rejoice, you righteous: and shout for joy, all you that are upright in heart.
