Amahubo 61

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

For the chief musician; on a stringed instrument. A psalm of David. Hear my cry, God; attend to my prayer.

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

From the ends of the earth will I call to you when my heart is faint; lead me to the rock that is higher than I.

3 Ngoba ube uyisiphephelo sami, inqaba eqinileyo evikela esitheni.

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

4 Ngiyalangazelela ukuhlala ethenteni lakho laphakade ngizifihle emthunzini wamaphiko akho.

Let me live in your tabernacle forever! Let me take refuge under the shelter of your wings. (Selah)

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

For you, God, have heard my vows, you have given me the inheritance of those who honor your name.

6 Yandisa insuku zempilo yenkosi, iminyaka yayo okwezizukulwane ezinengi.

You will prolong the king's life; his years will be like many generations.

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

He will remain before God forever.

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

I will sing praise to your name forever so that I may perform my vows every day.
