Amahubo 62

1 Kumqondisi wokuhlabela. KuJeduthuni. Ihubo likaDavida. Umphefumulo wami ufumana ukuphumula kuNkulunkulu kuphela; ukusindiswa kwami kuvela kuye.

To the Overseer, for Jeduthun. — A Psalm of David. Only — toward God [is] my soul silent, From Him [is] my salvation.

2 Yena yedwa uyilo idwala lami lensindiso yami; uyinqaba yami, kangisoze ngihlukunyezwe lanini.

Only — He [is] my rock, and my salvation, My tower, I am not much moved.

3 Koze kube nini lilokhu lihlukuluza umuntu na? Lonke lizamlahla phansi na yena ongumduli otshekileyo, oluthango olutebhayo?

Till when do ye devise mischief against a man? Ye are destroyed all of you, As a wall inclined, a hedge that is cast down.

4 Bazimisele ukumqethula esikhundleni sakhe esiphezulu; bathokoziswa ngamanga. Ngemilomo yabo bayabusisa, kodwa ezinhliziyweni zabo bayaqalekisa.

Only — from his excellency They have consulted to drive away, They enjoy a lie, with their mouth they bless, And with their heart revile. (Selah)

5 Fumana ukuphumula, Oh mphefumulo wami, kuNkulunkulu kuphela; ithemba lami livela kuye.

Only — for God, be silent, O my soul, For from Him [is] my hope.

6 Yena yedwa ulidwala lami lensindiso; uyinqaba yami, kangisoze ngihlukunyezwe.

Only — He [is] my rock and my salvation, My tower, I am not moved.

7 Insindiso yami lodumo lwami kweyeme kuNkulunkulu; ulidwala lami eliqinileyo, isiphephelo sami.

On God [is] my salvation, and my honour, The rock of my strength, my refuge [is] in God.

8 Thembani kuye ngezikhathi zonke, lina bantu; likhuphe konke okusezinhliziyweni zenu kuye, ngoba uNkulunkulu uyisiphephelo sethu.

Trust in Him at all times, O people, Pour forth before Him your heart, God [is] a refuge for us. (Selah)

9 Abantukazana bangumoya nje, izikhulu ziyinkohliso nje; aluba belinganiswa esikalini kabasilutho; bonke ndawonye bangumoya kuphela.

Only — vanity [are] the low, a lie the high. In balances to go up they than vanity [are] lighter.

10 Lingathembi ukuqilibezela kumbe lizikhukhumeze ngempahla zokwebiwa; kungaze kube inotho yenu iyanda, lingabeki inhliziyo zenu kuyo.

Trust not in oppression, And in robbery become not vain, Wealth — when it increaseth — set not the heart.

11 Yinye into uNkulunkulu ayikhulumileyo, zimbili izinto engizizwileyo, ukuthi amandla wonke ngawakho wena, Oh Nkulunkulu.

Once hath God spoken, twice I heard this, That 'strength [is] with God.'

12 Lokuthi wena, Thixo, ulothando olojulileyo, umuntu ngamunye uzamupha umvuzo ngalokho akwenzileyo.

And with Thee, O Lord, [is] kindness, For Thou dost recompense to each, According to his work!
