Amahubo 6
1 Kumqondisi wokuhlabela. Ngeleziginci. Kulandelwa isheminithi. Ihubo likaDavida. Oh Thixo ungangikhalimeli ngolaka lwakho njalo ungangitshayi uthukuthele.
“To the chief musician on Neginoth upon Sheminith, a psalm of David.” O Lord, correct me not in thy anger, and chastise me not in thy wrath.
2 Woba lomusa kimi, Thixo, ngoba ngiphela amandla; Oh Thixo, ngisilisa, ngoba amathambo ami alobuhlungu.
Be gracious unto me, O Lord; for I am withering away; heal me, O Lord; for my bones are terrified.
3 Umoya wami udabukile. Koze kube nini, Oh Thixo, koze kube nini?
And my soul is greatly terrified; but thou, O Lord, how long yet—?
4 Phenduka, Oh Thixo, ungikhulule; ngihlenga ngenxa yothando lwakho olungehlulekiyo.
Return, O Lord, deliver my soul: help me for the sake of thy kindness.
For in death men do not remember thee: in the nether world, who shall give thee thanks? (Sheol h7585)
6 Ngikhathele ngokububula; ubusuku bonke umbheda wami uba manzi te ngikhala umendlalo wami ngiwugcwalise ngezinyembezi.
I am weary with my sighing; I flood every night my bed; With my tears I moisten my couch.
7 Amehlo ami ayafiphala ngenxa yosizi; ayanqundeka ngenxa yazo zonke izitha zami.
My eye is consumed because of grief; it waxeth old because of all my assailants.
8 Xekani kimi lina lonke elenza okubi, ngoba uThixo usekuzwile ukulila kwami.
Depart from me, all ye workers of wickedness; for the Lord hath heard the voice of my weeping.
9 UThixo usekuzwile ukukhala kwami ngicela umusa; UThixo uyawamukela umkhuleko wami.
The Lord hath heard my supplication; the Lord will accept my prayer.
10 Zonke izitha zami zizayangeka zidaniswe; zizatshibilika zibuyele emuva masinyane sezilehlazo.
Ashamed and greatly terrified shall become all my enemies; they will turn round, and be made ashamed in a moment.
