Amahubo 62
1 Kumqondisi wokuhlabela. KuJeduthuni. Ihubo likaDavida. Umphefumulo wami ufumana ukuphumula kuNkulunkulu kuphela; ukusindiswa kwami kuvela kuye.
“For the leader of the music of the Jeduthunites, A psalm of David.” Truly my soul resteth on God alone; From him cometh my deliverance!
2 Yena yedwa uyilo idwala lami lensindiso yami; uyinqaba yami, kangisoze ngihlukunyezwe lanini.
He alone is my rock and my salvation; He is my safeguard, I shall not wholly fall!
3 Koze kube nini lilokhu lihlukuluza umuntu na? Lonke lizamlahla phansi na yena ongumduli otshekileyo, oluthango olutebhayo?
How long will ye continue to assault a single man? How long will ye all seek to destroy me, Like a bending wall, or a tottering fence?
4 Bazimisele ukumqethula esikhundleni sakhe esiphezulu; bathokoziswa ngamanga. Ngemilomo yabo bayabusisa, kodwa ezinhliziyweni zabo bayaqalekisa.
They study how to cast me down from my eminence; They delight in falsehood; They bless with their mouths, but in their hearts they curse.
5 Fumana ukuphumula, Oh mphefumulo wami, kuNkulunkulu kuphela; ithemba lami livela kuye.
My soul, rest thou on God alone, For from him cometh my hope!
6 Yena yedwa ulidwala lami lensindiso; uyinqaba yami, kangisoze ngihlukunyezwe.
He alone is my rock and my salvation; He is my safeguard, —I shall not fall.
7 Insindiso yami lodumo lwami kweyeme kuNkulunkulu; ulidwala lami eliqinileyo, isiphephelo sami.
From God cometh my help and my glory: My strong rock, my refuge, is God.
8 Thembani kuye ngezikhathi zonke, lina bantu; likhuphe konke okusezinhliziyweni zenu kuye, ngoba uNkulunkulu uyisiphephelo sethu.
Trust in him at all times, ye people! Pour out your hearts before him! God is our refuge!
9 Abantukazana bangumoya nje, izikhulu ziyinkohliso nje; aluba belinganiswa esikalini kabasilutho; bonke ndawonye bangumoya kuphela.
Truly men of low degree are vanity, And men of high degree are a lie; Placed in the balance, They are all lighter than vanity.
10 Lingathembi ukuqilibezela kumbe lizikhukhumeze ngempahla zokwebiwa; kungaze kube inotho yenu iyanda, lingabeki inhliziyo zenu kuyo.
Trust not in extortion; Place no vain hopes in rapine! If riches increase, set not your heart upon them!
11 Yinye into uNkulunkulu ayikhulumileyo, zimbili izinto engizizwileyo, ukuthi amandla wonke ngawakho wena, Oh Nkulunkulu.
Once hath God promised, twice have I heard it, That power belongeth unto God.
12 Lokuthi wena, Thixo, ulothando olojulileyo, umuntu ngamunye uzamupha umvuzo ngalokho akwenzileyo.
To thee also, O Lord! belongeth mercy; For thou dost render to every man according to his work!
