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, set to the Sheminith. A Psalm of David. O LORD, rebuke me not in thine anger, neither chasten me in thy hot displeasure.
2 Woba lomusa kimi, Thixo, ngoba ngiphela amandla; Oh Thixo, ngisilisa, ngoba amathambo ami alobuhlungu.
Have mercy upon me, O LORD; for I am withered away: O LORD, heal me; for my bones are vexed.
3 Umoya wami udabukile. Koze kube nini, Oh Thixo, koze kube nini?
My soul also is sore vexed: and thou, O LORD, how long?
4 Phenduka, Oh Thixo, ungikhulule; ngihlenga ngenxa yothando lwakho olungehlulekiyo.
Return, O LORD, deliver my soul: save me for thy lovingkindness’ sake.
For in death there is no remembrance of thee: in Sheol 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 groaning; every night make I my bed to swim; I water my couch with my tears.
7 Amehlo ami ayafiphala ngenxa yosizi; ayanqundeka ngenxa yazo zonke izitha zami.
Mine eye wasteth away because of grief; it waxeth old because of all mine adversaries.
8 Xekani kimi lina lonke elenza okubi, ngoba uThixo usekuzwile ukulila kwami.
Depart from me, all ye workers of iniquity; 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 receive my prayer.
10 Zonke izitha zami zizayangeka zidaniswe; zizatshibilika zibuyele emuva masinyane sezilehlazo.
All mine enemies shall be ashamed and sore vexed: they shall turn back, they shall be ashamed suddenly.
