Amahubo 61

1 Kumqondisi wokuhlabela. Kutshaywa iziginci. ElikaDavida. Zwana ukukhala kwami, Oh Nkulunkulu; lalela umkhuleko wami.

Hear my cry, O God. Attend to my prayer.

2 Ngisemkhawulweni womhlaba ngiyakubiza, ngiyabiza lapho inhliziyo yami isiphela amandla; ngikhokhelela edwaleni eliphakeme kulami.

From the end of the earth I will call to thee when my heart is overwhelmed. Lead me to the rock that is higher than I.

3 Ngoba ube uyisiphephelo sami, inqaba eqinileyo evikela esitheni.

For thou have been a refuge for me, a strong tower from the enemy.

4 Ngiyalangazelela ukuhlala ethenteni lakho laphakade ngizifihle emthunzini wamaphiko akho.

I will dwell in thy tabernacle forever. I will take refuge in the covert of thy wings. (Selah)

5 Phela usuzizwile izifungo zami, Oh Nkulunkulu; usungiphile ilifa lalabo abalesabayo ibizo lakho.

For thou, O God, have heard my vows. Thou have given me the heritage of those who fear thy name.

6 Yandisa insuku zempilo yenkosi, iminyaka yayo okwezizukulwane ezinengi.

Thou will prolong the king's life. His years shall be as many generations.

7 Sengathi ingaba sesihlalweni iphambi kukaNkulunkulu nini lanini; wabele uthando Lwakho lokuthembeka Kwakho kuyivikele.

He shall abide before God forever. O prepare loving kindness and truth that they may preserve him.

8 Lapho-ke ngizahlala ngihlabelela indumiso ebizweni Lakho ngigcwalise izifungo zami insuku ngensuku.

So I will sing praise to thy name forever, that I may daily perform my vows.
