Amahubo 5

1 Kumqondisi wokuhlabela. Kwabemifece. Ihubo likaDavida. Zwana amazwi ami, Oh Thixo, hawukela ukububula kwami.

For the end, a Psalm of David, concerning her that inherits. Listen to my words, O Lord, attend to my cry.

2 Lalela ukukhala kwami ngidinga uncedo, Nkosi yami loNkulunkulu wami, ngoba ngikhuleka kuwe.

Attend to the voice of my supplication, my King, and my God: for to you, O Lord, will I pray.

3 Ekuseni, Oh Thixo, uyalizwa ilizwi lami; ekuseni ngibeka izicelo zami phambi kwakho ngilinde ngithembile.

In the morning you shall hear my voice: in the morning will I wait upon you, and will look up.

4 Kawusuye uNkulunkulu othokoza ngobubi; ababi ngeke bahlale lawe.

For you are not a god that desires iniquity; neither shall the worker of wickedness dwell with you.

5 Iziqholo ngeke zime phambi kwakho; uyabazonda bonke abenza okubi.

Neither shall the transgressors continue in your sight: you hate, O Lord, all them that work iniquity.

6 Uyababhubhisa labo abaqamba amanga; abomele igazi labakhohlisayo uThixo uyabenyanya.

You will destroy all that speak falsehood: the Lord abhors the bloody and deceitful man.

7 Kodwa mina, ngomusa wakho omkhulu, ngizangena endlini yakho; ngizakhothamela phansi ngokuhlonipha ngikhangele ethempelini lakho elingcwele.

But I will enter into your house in the multitude of your mercy: I will worship in your fear towards your holy temple.

8 Ngikhokhele, Oh Thixo, ngokulunga kwakho; ngenxa yezitha zami yenza iqonde indlela yakho phambi kwami.

Lead me, O Lord, in your righteousness because of mine enemies; make my way plain before your face.

9 Kalikho lalinye ilizwi lomlomo wabo elithembekileyo; inhliziyo yabo igcwele ukubhidliza. Umphimbo wabo ulingcwaba elikhamisileyo; ngolimi lwabo bakhuluma inkohliso.

For there is no truth in their mouth; their heart is vain; their throat is an open sepulchre; with their tongues they have used deceit.

10 Tshono uthi balecala, Oh Nkulunkulu! Akuthi amacebo abo abe yikuwa kwabo. Baxotshele khatshana ngenxa yezono zabo ezinengi, ngoba bakuhlamukele wena.

Judge them, O God; let them fail of their counsels: cast them out according to the abundance of their ungodliness; for they have provoked you, O Lord.

11 Kodwa akuthi bonke abaphephela kuwe bathokoze; kabahlabelele njalonjalo ngenjabulo. Basibekele ngovikelo lwakho, kuthi labo abalithandayo ibizo lakho bajabule ngawe.

But let all that trust on you be glad in you: they shall exult for ever, and you shall dwell amongst them; and all that love your name shall rejoice in you.

12 Ngoba ngempela, Oh Thixo, uyababusisa abalungileyo; uyabazungeza ngomusa wakho njengesihlangu.

For you, Lord, shall bless the righteous: you have compassed us as with a shield of favour.
