Amahubo 85
1 Kumqondisi wokuhlabela. Elamadodana kaKhora. Ihubo. Ulithandile ilizwe lakho, Oh Thixo; uyibuyisile inhlanhla kaJakhobe.
To him that excelleth. A Psalme committed to the sonnes of Korah. Lord, thou hast bene fauourable vnto thy land: thou hast brought againe the captiuitie of Iaakob.
2 Wazithethelela iziphambeko zabantu bakho wazisibekela zonke izono zabo.
Thou hast forgiuen the iniquitie of thy people, and couered all their sinnes. (Selah)
3 Walubuyisela eceleni lonke ulaka lwakho wakufulathela ukuthukuthela kwakho okwesabekayo.
Thou hast withdrawen all thine anger, and hast turned backe from the fiercenes of thy wrath.
4 Sivuselele njalo, Oh Nkulunkulu Msindisi wethu, ukubeke khatshana ukukucunula kwethu.
Turne vs, O God of our saluation, and release thine anger toward vs.
5 Uzasizondela kuze kube phakade na? Uzalugcina ulaka lwakho kuzozonke izizukulwane na?
Wilt thou be angry with vs for euer? and wilt thou prolong thy wrath from one generation to another?
6 Kawuzukusivuselela na, ukuze abantu bakho bathokoze kuwe?
Wilt thou not turne againe and quicken vs, that thy people may reioyce in thee?
7 Sitshengise uthando lwakho olungaphuthiyo, Oh Thixo, usinike insindiso yakho.
Shew vs thy mercie, O Lord, and graunt vs thy saluation.
8 Ngizalalela lokho uNkulunkulu uThixo azakutsho; uthembisa abantu bakhe ukuthula, abangcwele bakhe kodwa kabangabuyeli ebufebeni babo.
I will hearken what the Lord God will say: for he will speake peace vnto his people, and to his Saintes, that they turne not againe to follie.
9 Ngempela insindiso iseduze kulabo abamesabayo, ukuze inkazimulo yakhe ihlale elizweni lethu.
Surely his saluation is neere to them that feare him, that glory may dwell in our land.
10 Uthando lokuthembeka kuyahlangana ndawonye; ukulunga lokuthula kuyangana.
Mercie and trueth shall meete: righteousnes and peace shall kisse one another.
11 Ukuthembeka kuqhamuka emhlabathini, ukulunga kukhanya phansi kusezulwini.
Trueth shall bud out of the earth, and righteousnes shall looke downe from heauen.
12 Ngeqiniso uThixo uzanika okulungileyo, lelizwe lethu lizathela isivuno salo.
Yea, the Lord shall giue good things, and our land shall giue her increase.
13 Ukulunga kuhamba phambi kwakhe kulungisele izinyathelo zakhe indlela.
Righteousnesse shall go before him, and shall set her steps in the way.
