Amahubo 5
1 Kumqondisi wokuhlabela. Kwabemifece. Ihubo likaDavida. Zwana amazwi ami, Oh Thixo, hawukela ukububula kwami.
For the Chief Musician; with the Nehiloth. A Psalm of David. Give ear to my words, O LORD, consider my (meditation)
2 Lalela ukukhala kwami ngidinga uncedo, Nkosi yami loNkulunkulu wami, ngoba ngikhuleka kuwe.
Hearken unto the voice of my cry, my King, and my God: for unto thee do I pray.
3 Ekuseni, Oh Thixo, uyalizwa ilizwi lami; ekuseni ngibeka izicelo zami phambi kwakho ngilinde ngithembile.
O LORD, in the morning shalt thou hear my voice; in the morning will I order [my prayer] unto thee, and will keep watch.
4 Kawusuye uNkulunkulu othokoza ngobubi; ababi ngeke bahlale lawe.
For thou art not a God that hath pleasure in wickedness: evil shall not sojourn with thee.
5 Iziqholo ngeke zime phambi kwakho; uyabazonda bonke abenza okubi.
The arrogant shall not stand in thy sight: thou hatest all workers of iniquity.
6 Uyababhubhisa labo abaqamba amanga; abomele igazi labakhohlisayo uThixo uyabenyanya.
Thou shalt destroy them that speak lies: the LORD abhorreth the bloodthirsty and deceitful man.
7 Kodwa mina, ngomusa wakho omkhulu, ngizangena endlini yakho; ngizakhothamela phansi ngokuhlonipha ngikhangele ethempelini lakho elingcwele.
But as for me, in the multitude of thy lovingkindness will I come into thy house: in thy fear will I worship toward thy holy temple.
8 Ngikhokhele, Oh Thixo, ngokulunga kwakho; ngenxa yezitha zami yenza iqonde indlela yakho phambi kwami.
Lead me, O LORD, in thy righteousness because of mine enemies; make thy way plain before my face.
9 Kalikho lalinye ilizwi lomlomo wabo elithembekileyo; inhliziyo yabo igcwele ukubhidliza. Umphimbo wabo ulingcwaba elikhamisileyo; ngolimi lwabo bakhuluma inkohliso.
For there is no faithfulness in their mouth; their inward part is very wickedness: their throat is an open sepulchre; they flatter with their tongue.
10 Tshono uthi balecala, Oh Nkulunkulu! Akuthi amacebo abo abe yikuwa kwabo. Baxotshele khatshana ngenxa yezono zabo ezinengi, ngoba bakuhlamukele wena.
Hold them guilty, O God; let them fall by their own counsels: thrust them out in the multitude of their transgressions; for they have rebelled against thee.
11 Kodwa akuthi bonke abaphephela kuwe bathokoze; kabahlabelele njalonjalo ngenjabulo. Basibekele ngovikelo lwakho, kuthi labo abalithandayo ibizo lakho bajabule ngawe.
But let all those that put their trust in thee rejoice, let them ever shout for joy, because thou defendest them: let them also that love thy name be joyful in thee.
12 Ngoba ngempela, Oh Thixo, uyababusisa abalungileyo; uyabazungeza ngomusa wakho njengesihlangu.
For thou wilt bless the righteous; O LORD, thou wilt compass him with favour as with a shield.
