Amahubo 36
1 Kumqondisi wokuhlabela. ElikaDavida inceku kaThixo. Ngilenkinga enhliziyweni yami mayelana lokuxhwala kwesigangi: Kakukho ukwesaba uNkulunkulu engqondweni yaso.
“For the leader of the music. A psalm of David, the servant of the Lord.” To speak of the ungodliness of the wicked is in my heart. He hath no fear of God before his eyes.
2 Phela kweyaso ingqondo siyazikhohlisa size sehluleke ukubona kumbe ukuzonda isono saso.
For he flattereth himself in his own eyes, Till his iniquity is found out and hated.
3 Amazwi omlomo waso abolile alenkohliso; kasiselakho ukuhlakanipha lokulunga.
The words of his mouth are iniquity and deceit; He neglecteth to be wise and to do good.
4 Kwala loba silele siceba ububi; sizinikela endleleni yobubi njalo kasikulahli okubi.
He deviseth mischief upon his bed; He persevereth in an evil way; He abhorreth not sin.
5 Uthando Lwakho, Thixo, lufika emazulwini, ukuthembeka Kwakho esibhakabhakeni.
Thy goodness, O LORD! reacheth to the heavens, And thy faithfulness to the clouds;
6 Ukulunga Kwakho kunjengezintaba ezesabekayo, ukwahlulela kuhle Kwakho njengolwandle olukhulu. Oh Thixo, uyamlondoloza umuntu kanye lenyamazana.
Thy righteousness is like the high mountains; Thy judgments are a great deep; Thou, O LORD! preservest man and beast!
7 Luligugu elinganani uthando Lwakho olungaphuthiyo, Oh Nkulunkulu! Bonke abantu bazuza isiphephelo emthunzini wamaphiko Akho.
How precious is thy loving-kindness, O God! Yea, the sons of men seek refuge under the shadow of thy wings.
8 Bayazitika ngokudla okunengi endlini Yakho; ubapha okunathwayo okwemfuleni wakho wokuthokoza.
They are satisfied with the abundance of thy house, And thou causest them to drink of the full stream of thy pleasures.
9 Ngoba kuwe kulomthombo wokuphila; kokwakho ukukhanya sibona ukukhanya.
For with thee is the fountain of life; Through thy light we see light.
10 Qhubeka ngothando Lwakho kulabo abakwaziyo, ukuluga Kwakho kwabaqotho enhliziyweni.
O continue thy loving-kindness to them that know thee, And thy favor to the upright in heart!
11 Sengathi unyawo lwabazazisayo lungehluleka ukunginyathela, loba ukuthi isandla sababi singangixotshi.
Let not the foot of the proud come upon me, Nor the hand of the wicked remove me!
12 Bonani-ke ukuthi izigangi sezithe daca ziwiselwe phansi, kazisavuki futhi!
Lo! already are the workers of iniquity fallen; They are cast down; they are unable to rise!
