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 style. A psalm of David. Yahweh, do not rebuke me in your anger or discipline me in your wrath.
2 Woba lomusa kimi, Thixo, ngoba ngiphela amandla; Oh Thixo, ngisilisa, ngoba amathambo ami alobuhlungu.
Have mercy on me, Yahweh, for I am frail; heal me, Yahweh, for my bones are shaking.
3 Umoya wami udabukile. Koze kube nini, Oh Thixo, koze kube nini?
My soul also is very troubled. But you, Yahweh—how long will this continue?
4 Phenduka, Oh Thixo, ungikhulule; ngihlenga ngenxa yothando lwakho olungehlulekiyo.
Return, Yahweh! rescue me. Save me because of your covenant faithfulness!
For in death there is no remembrance of you. In Sheol who will 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. All night I drench my bed with tears; I wash my couch away with my tears.
7 Amehlo ami ayafiphala ngenxa yosizi; ayanqundeka ngenxa yazo zonke izitha zami.
My eyes grow dim from grief; they grow weak because of all my adversaries.
8 Xekani kimi lina lonke elenza okubi, ngoba uThixo usekuzwile ukulila kwami.
Get away from me, all you who practice iniquity; for Yahweh has heard the sound of my weeping.
9 UThixo usekuzwile ukukhala kwami ngicela umusa; UThixo uyawamukela umkhuleko wami.
Yahweh has heard my appeal for mercy; Yahweh has accepted my prayer.
10 Zonke izitha zami zizayangeka zidaniswe; zizatshibilika zibuyele emuva masinyane sezilehlazo.
All my enemies will be ashamed and greatly troubled. They will turn back and be suddenly humiliated.
