Amahubo 36
1 Kumqondisi wokuhlabela. ElikaDavida inceku kaThixo. Ngilenkinga enhliziyweni yami mayelana lokuxhwala kwesigangi: Kakukho ukwesaba uNkulunkulu engqondweni yaso.
[Wicked people continually desire to] sin. They consider [IDM] that they do not need to revere God.
2 Phela kweyaso ingqondo siyazikhohlisa size sehluleke ukubona kumbe ukuzonda isono saso.
Because they are very proud, they do not think that God will discover their sins and condemn them (OR, they do not think about their sins and hate themselves for it).
3 Amazwi omlomo waso abolile alenkohliso; kasiselakho ukuhlakanipha lokulunga.
[Everything] that they say is deceitful and full of lies; they no longer do what is good and are no longer wise.
4 Kwala loba silele siceba ububi; sizinikela endleleni yobubi njalo kasikulahli okubi.
While they are lying on their beds, they plan to do things to harm [others]; they are determined to do things that are not good, and they never refuse [to do what is] evil.
5 Uthando Lwakho, Thixo, lufika emazulwini, ukuthembeka Kwakho esibhakabhakeni.
Yahweh, your faithful love for us reaches as high as the heavens, you faithfully [do what you have promised]; [it is as though your doing that] extends up to the clouds.
6 Ukulunga Kwakho kunjengezintaba ezesabekayo, ukwahlulela kuhle Kwakho njengolwandle olukhulu. Oh Thixo, uyamlondoloza umuntu kanye lenyamazana.
Your righteous behavior is [as permanent as] the highest mountains [MET], your acting justly [will continue as long as] the deepest oceans [exist]. You take care of people and you take care of animals.
7 Luligugu elinganani uthando Lwakho olungaphuthiyo, Oh Nkulunkulu! Bonke abantu bazuza isiphephelo emthunzini wamaphiko Akho.
God, your faithful love for us is very precious. You protect us like birds protect their baby birds under their wings [MET].
8 Bayazitika ngokudla okunengi endlini Yakho; ubapha okunathwayo okwemfuleni wakho wokuthokoza.
You provide for us plenty of food from the abundant supply [IDM] that you have; your great blessings for us [flow] like a river.
9 Ngoba kuwe kulomthombo wokuphila; kokwakho ukukhanya sibona ukukhanya.
You are the one who causes everything to live; your light is what enables us to see.
10 Qhubeka ngothando Lwakho kulabo abakwaziyo, ukuluga Kwakho kwabaqotho enhliziyweni.
Continue to faithfully love those who have experienced a relationship with you, and bless those who act righteously/justly.
11 Sengathi unyawo lwabazazisayo lungehluleka ukunginyathela, loba ukuthi isandla sababi singangixotshi.
Do not allow proud people [SYN] to attack me, or allow wicked people to chase me away.
12 Bonani-ke ukuthi izigangi sezithe daca ziwiselwe phansi, kazisavuki futhi!
Look where evil people have fallen on the ground, defeated; they were thrown down, and they will never rise again.
