Amahubo 85
1 Kumqondisi wokuhlabela. Elamadodana kaKhora. Ihubo. Ulithandile ilizwe lakho, Oh Thixo; uyibuyisile inhlanhla kaJakhobe.
Unto the end, for the sons of Core, a psalm. Lord, thou hast blessed thy land: thou hast turned away the captivity of Jacob.
2 Wazithethelela iziphambeko zabantu bakho wazisibekela zonke izono zabo.
Thou hast forgiven the iniquity of thy people: thou hast covered all their sins.
3 Walubuyisela eceleni lonke ulaka lwakho wakufulathela ukuthukuthela kwakho okwesabekayo.
Thou hast mitigated all thy anger: thou best turned away from the wrath of thy indignation.
4 Sivuselele njalo, Oh Nkulunkulu Msindisi wethu, ukubeke khatshana ukukucunula kwethu.
Convert us, O God our saviour: and turn off thy anger from us.
5 Uzasizondela kuze kube phakade na? Uzalugcina ulaka lwakho kuzozonke izizukulwane na?
Wilt thou be angry with us for ever: or wilt thou extend thy wrath from generation to generation?
6 Kawuzukusivuselela na, ukuze abantu bakho bathokoze kuwe?
Thou wilt turn, O God, and bring us to life: and thy people shall rejoice in thee.
7 Sitshengise uthando lwakho olungaphuthiyo, Oh Thixo, usinike insindiso yakho.
Shew us, O Lord, thy mercy; and grant us thy salvation.
8 Ngizalalela lokho uNkulunkulu uThixo azakutsho; uthembisa abantu bakhe ukuthula, abangcwele bakhe kodwa kabangabuyeli ebufebeni babo.
I will hear what the Lord God will speak in me: for he will speak peace unto his people: And unto his saints: and unto them that are converted to the heart.
9 Ngempela insindiso iseduze kulabo abamesabayo, ukuze inkazimulo yakhe ihlale elizweni lethu.
Surely his salvation is near to them that fear him: that glory may dwell in our land.
10 Uthando lokuthembeka kuyahlangana ndawonye; ukulunga lokuthula kuyangana.
Mercy and truth have met each other: justice and peace have kissed.
11 Ukuthembeka kuqhamuka emhlabathini, ukulunga kukhanya phansi kusezulwini.
Truth is sprung out of the earth: and justice hath looked down from heaven.
12 Ngeqiniso uThixo uzanika okulungileyo, lelizwe lethu lizathela isivuno salo.
For the Lord will give goodness: and our earth shall yield her fruit.
13 Ukulunga kuhamba phambi kwakhe kulungisele izinyathelo zakhe indlela.
Justice shall walk before him: and shall set his steps in the way.
