Amahubo 36
1 Kumqondisi wokuhlabela. ElikaDavida inceku kaThixo. Ngilenkinga enhliziyweni yami mayelana lokuxhwala kwesigangi: Kakukho ukwesaba uNkulunkulu engqondweni yaso.
To the Chief Musician. Of the Servant of Yahweh—of David. Declareth the transgression of the lawless one, within my heart, There is, no dread of God, before his eyes;
2 Phela kweyaso ingqondo siyazikhohlisa size sehluleke ukubona kumbe ukuzonda isono saso.
For he flattereth himself [too much] in his own eyes, to find his iniquity—to hate [it].
3 Amazwi omlomo waso abolile alenkohliso; kasiselakho ukuhlakanipha lokulunga.
The words of his mouth, are iniquity and deceit, he hath left off to show discretion by doing well:
4 Kwala loba silele siceba ububi; sizinikela endleleni yobubi njalo kasikulahli okubi.
Iniquity, deviseth he upon his bed, —he taketh his stand in a way, not good, Wrong, doth he not abhor!
5 Uthando Lwakho, Thixo, lufika emazulwini, ukuthembeka Kwakho esibhakabhakeni.
O Yahweh! in the heavens, is thy lovingkindness, Thy faithfulness, as far as the fleecy clouds:
6 Ukulunga Kwakho kunjengezintaba ezesabekayo, ukwahlulela kuhle Kwakho njengolwandle olukhulu. Oh Thixo, uyamlondoloza umuntu kanye lenyamazana.
Thy righteousness, is like mighty mountains, and, thy just decrees, are a great resounding deep, —Man and beast, thou savest, O Yahweh!
7 Luligugu elinganani uthando Lwakho olungaphuthiyo, Oh Nkulunkulu! Bonke abantu bazuza isiphephelo emthunzini wamaphiko Akho.
How precious thy lovingkindness, O God, —Therefore, the sons of men, under the shadow of thy wings, seek refuge:
8 Bayazitika ngokudla okunengi endlini Yakho; ubapha okunathwayo okwemfuleni wakho wokuthokoza.
They abundantly relish the fatness of thy house, —And out of the full stream of thine own pleasures, thou givest them to drink.
9 Ngoba kuwe kulomthombo wokuphila; kokwakho ukukhanya sibona ukukhanya.
For, with thee, is the fountain of life, In thy light, we see light.
10 Qhubeka ngothando Lwakho kulabo abakwaziyo, ukuluga Kwakho kwabaqotho enhliziyweni.
Prolong thy lovingkindness unto them who know thee, —and thy righteousness, to the upright in heart.
11 Sengathi unyawo lwabazazisayo lungehluleka ukunginyathela, loba ukuthi isandla sababi singangixotshi.
Let not the foot of pride reach me, nor, the hand of the lawless, scare me away.
12 Bonani-ke ukuthi izigangi sezithe daca ziwiselwe phansi, kazisavuki futhi!
There did the workers of iniquity fall, —thrust down and not able to rise!
