Amahubo 6
1 Kumqondisi wokuhlabela. Ngeleziginci. Kulandelwa isheminithi. Ihubo likaDavida. Oh Thixo ungangikhalimeli ngolaka lwakho njalo ungangitshayi uthukuthele.
[For the Chief Musician; on stringed instruments, upon the eight-stringed lyre. A Psalm by David.] Jehovah, do not rebuke me in your anger, neither discipline me in your wrath.
2 Woba lomusa kimi, Thixo, ngoba ngiphela amandla; Oh Thixo, ngisilisa, ngoba amathambo ami alobuhlungu.
Be gracious to me, Jehovah, for I am frail. Jehovah, heal me, for my bones are trembling.
3 Umoya wami udabukile. Koze kube nini, Oh Thixo, koze kube nini?
And my soul is greatly troubled. But you, Jehovah, how long?
4 Phenduka, Oh Thixo, ungikhulule; ngihlenga ngenxa yothando lwakho olungehlulekiyo.
Return, Jehovah. Deliver my soul. Save me because of your lovingkindness.
For in death there is no memory of you. In Sheol, who shall give you thanks? (Sheol h7585)
6 Ngikhathele ngokububula; ubusuku bonke umbheda wami uba manzi te ngikhala umendlalo wami ngiwugcwalise ngezinyembezi.
I am weary with my groaning. Every night I drench my bed; I melt my couch with my tears.
7 Amehlo ami ayafiphala ngenxa yosizi; ayanqundeka ngenxa yazo zonke izitha zami.
My eye wastes away because of grief. It grows old because of all my adversaries.
8 Xekani kimi lina lonke elenza okubi, ngoba uThixo usekuzwile ukulila kwami.
Depart from me, all you workers of iniquity, for Jehovah has heard the sound of my weeping.
9 UThixo usekuzwile ukukhala kwami ngicela umusa; UThixo uyawamukela umkhuleko wami.
Jehovah has heard my plea. Jehovah has accepted my prayer.
10 Zonke izitha zami zizayangeka zidaniswe; zizatshibilika zibuyele emuva masinyane sezilehlazo.
May all my enemies be ashamed and greatly terrified. May they turn back, suddenly ashamed.
