1 Kumqondisi wokuhlabela. Elamadodana kaKhora. Ihubo. Ulithandile ilizwe lakho, Oh Thixo; uyibuyisile inhlanhla kaJakhobe.
To the Overseer. — By sons of Korah. A Psalm. Thou hast accepted, O Jehovah, Thy land, Thou hast turned [to] the captivity of Jacob.
2 Wazithethelela iziphambeko zabantu bakho wazisibekela zonke izono zabo.
Thou hast borne away the iniquity of Thy people, Thou hast covered all their sin. (Selah)
3 Walubuyisela eceleni lonke ulaka lwakho wakufulathela ukuthukuthela kwakho okwesabekayo.
Thou hast gathered up all Thy wrath, Thou hast turned back from the fierceness of Thine anger.
4 Sivuselele njalo, Oh Nkulunkulu Msindisi wethu, ukubeke khatshana ukukucunula kwethu.
Turn back [to] us, O God of our salvation, And make void Thine anger with us.
5 Uzasizondela kuze kube phakade na? Uzalugcina ulaka lwakho kuzozonke izizukulwane na?
To the age art Thou angry against us? Dost Thou draw out Thine anger To generation and generation?
6 Kawuzukusivuselela na, ukuze abantu bakho bathokoze kuwe?
Dost Thou not turn back? Thou revivest us, And Thy people do rejoice in Thee.
7 Sitshengise uthando lwakho olungaphuthiyo, Oh Thixo, usinike insindiso yakho.
Show us, O Jehovah, thy kindness, And Thy salvation Thou dost give to us.
8 Ngizalalela lokho uNkulunkulu uThixo azakutsho; uthembisa abantu bakhe ukuthula, abangcwele bakhe kodwa kabangabuyeli ebufebeni babo.
I hear what God Jehovah speaketh, For He speaketh peace unto His people, And unto His saints, and they turn not back to folly.
9 Ngempela insindiso iseduze kulabo abamesabayo, ukuze inkazimulo yakhe ihlale elizweni lethu.
Only, near to those fearing Him [is] His salvation, That honour may dwell in our land.
10 Uthando lokuthembeka kuyahlangana ndawonye; ukulunga lokuthula kuyangana.
Kindness and truth have met, Righteousness and peace have kissed,
11 Ukuthembeka kuqhamuka emhlabathini, ukulunga kukhanya phansi kusezulwini.
Truth from the earth springeth up, And righteousness from heaven looketh out,
12 Ngeqiniso uThixo uzanika okulungileyo, lelizwe lethu lizathela isivuno salo.
Jehovah also giveth that which is good, And our land doth give its increase.
13 Ukulunga kuhamba phambi kwakhe kulungisele izinyathelo zakhe indlela.
Righteousness before Him goeth, And maketh His footsteps for a way!
