Amahubo 85
1 Kumqondisi wokuhlabela. Elamadodana kaKhora. Ihubo. Ulithandile ilizwe lakho, Oh Thixo; uyibuyisile inhlanhla kaJakhobe.
For the Leader. A Psalm of the sons of Korah. LORD, Thou hast been favourable unto Thy land, Thou hast turned the captivity of Jacob.
2 Wazithethelela iziphambeko zabantu bakho wazisibekela zonke izono zabo.
Thou hast forgiven the iniquity of Thy people, Thou hast pardoned all their sin. (Selah)
3 Walubuyisela eceleni lonke ulaka lwakho wakufulathela ukuthukuthela kwakho okwesabekayo.
Thou hast withdrawn all Thy wrath; Thou hast turned from the fierceness of Thine anger.
4 Sivuselele njalo, Oh Nkulunkulu Msindisi wethu, ukubeke khatshana ukukucunula kwethu.
Restore us, O God of our salvation, and cause Thine indignation toward us to cease.
5 Uzasizondela kuze kube phakade na? Uzalugcina ulaka lwakho kuzozonke izizukulwane na?
Wilt Thou be angry with us for ever? Wilt Thou draw out Thine anger to all generations?
6 Kawuzukusivuselela na, ukuze abantu bakho bathokoze kuwe?
Wilt Thou not quicken us again, that Thy people may rejoice in Thee?
7 Sitshengise uthando lwakho olungaphuthiyo, Oh Thixo, usinike insindiso yakho.
Show us Thy mercy, O LORD, 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 God the LORD will speak; for He will speak peace unto His people, and to His saints; but let them not turn back to folly.
9 Ngempela insindiso iseduze kulabo abamesabayo, ukuze inkazimulo yakhe ihlale elizweni lethu.
Surely His salvation is nigh them that fear Him; that glory may dwell in our land.
10 Uthando lokuthembeka kuyahlangana ndawonye; ukulunga lokuthula kuyangana.
Mercy and truth are met together; righteousness and peace have kissed each other.
11 Ukuthembeka kuqhamuka emhlabathini, ukulunga kukhanya phansi kusezulwini.
Truth springeth out of the earth; and righteousness hath looked down from heaven.
12 Ngeqiniso uThixo uzanika okulungileyo, lelizwe lethu lizathela isivuno salo.
Yea, the LORD will give that which is good; and our land shall yield her produce.
13 Ukulunga kuhamba phambi kwakhe kulungisele izinyathelo zakhe indlela.
Righteousness shall go before Him, and shall make His footsteps a way.
