Amahubo 63
1 Ihubo likaDavida eseNkangala yakoJuda. Oh Nkulunkulu, unguNkulunkulu wami, ngiyakudinga ngitshiseka; umphefumulo wami uyakomela, umzimba wami uyakudinga, elizweni elomileyo eseligugile lapho okungelamanzi khona.
O God, you are my God; early will I seek you: my soul thirsts for you, my flesh longs for you in a dry and thirsty land, where no water is;
2 Ngikubonile endlini Yakho engcwele ngawabona amandla Akho lenkazimulo Yakho.
To see your power and your glory, so as I have seen you in the sanctuary.
3 Ngoba uthando Lwakho lungcono kulempilo, izindebe zami zizakutsho inkazimulo Yakho.
Because your loving kindness is better than life, my lips shall praise you.
4 Ngizakudumisa kokuphela nxa ngisaphila, ngebizo lakho ngizaphakamisa izandla zami.
Thus will I bless you while I live: I will lift up my hands in your name.
5 Umphefumulo wami uzasuthiswa ngokudla okuhle okuphilisayo; ngezindebe ezihlabelayo umlomo wami uzakudumisa.
My soul shall be satisfied as with marrow and fatness; and my mouth shall praise you with joyful lips:
6 Ngisembhedeni wami ngiyakhumbula; ngiyakukhumbula lanxa ngisemlindweni wasebusuku.
When I remember you upon my bed, and meditate on you in the night watches.
7 Ngoba ulusizo lwami, ngiyahlabelela ngisemthunzini wamaphiko Akho.
Because you have been my help, therefore in the shadow of your wings will I rejoice.
8 Umphefumulo wami unamathele Kuwe; isandla sakho sokunene siyangisekela.
My soul follows hard after you: your right hand upholds me.
9 Labo abazingela impilo yami bazabhujiswa; bazakwehlela phansi ekujuleni komhlabathi.
But those that seek my soul, to destroy it, shall go into the lower parts of the earth.
10 Bazakwabelwa ukudliwa yinkemba babe yikudla kwamakhanka.
They shall fall by the sword: they shall be a portion for foxes.
11 Kodwa inkosi izathokoza kuNkulunkulu; bonke abafunga ngebizo likaNkulunkulu bazamdumisa, ikanti imilomo yabaqamba amanga izathuliswa.
But the king shall rejoice in God; every one that swears by him shall glory: but the mouth of them that speak lies shall be stopped.
