Amahubo 4
1 Kumqondisi wokuhlabela. Ngeziginci. Ihubo likaDavida. Ngiphendula lapho ngikubiza, Oh Nkulunkulu wami olungileyo. Ake ungiphumuze ekuhlulukelweni engikukho; woba lomusa kimi njalo uzwe umkhuleko wami.
To the choirmaster with stringed instruments a psalm of David. When call I answer me - O God of righteousness my in the distress you have made wide for me show favor to me and hear prayer my.
2 Koze kube nini, we bantu, koze kube nini inkazimulo yami liyenza ihlazo? Koze kube nini lithanda inkohliso njalo lidinga onkulunkulu bamanga?
O sons of man until when? [will] honor my [become] ignominy will you love?! vanity will you seek? falsehood (Selah)
3 Yazini ukuthi uThixo usezehlukanisele labo abathembekileyo, njalo uThixo uyezwa nxa ngikhala kuye.
And know that he has set apart Yahweh [the] faithful for himself Yahweh he will hear when call I to him.
4 Ekuthukutheleni kwenu lingoni; nxa lisemibhedeni yenu hlolani inhliziyo zenu, lithule.
Tremble and may not you sin speak in heart your on bed your and be silent (Selah)
5 Nikelani imihlatshelo eqondileyo, limethembe uThixo.
Sacrifice sacrifices of righteousness and trust to Yahweh.
6 Abanengi bayabuza bathi, “Kuvele ngubani ongasitshengisa ukulunga na?” Sengathi ukukhanya kobuso bakho kungakhazimula phezu kwethu, Oh Thixo.
Many [people] [are] saying who? will he show us good lift up! on us [the] light of face your O Yahweh.
7 Uyigcwalisile inhliziyo yami ngentokozo enkulu eyedlula ubunengi bamabele abo lewayini labo elitsha.
You have put joy in heart my more than a time [when] grain their and new wine their they abound.
8 Ngizalala phansi ngijunywe yibuthongo ngilokuthula, ngoba wena wedwa, Oh Thixo, uhlezi ungilondolozile.
In peace together I will lie down and I may sleep for you O Yahweh alone to security you caused to dwell me.
