Amahubo 86
1 Umkhuleko kaDavida Zwana, Oh Thixo, ungiphendule, ngoba ngingumyanga ngiyaswela.
A prayer of David. Incline thine eare, O Lord, and heare me: for I am poore and needy.
2 Vikela impilo yami, ngoba ngizinikele kuwe; sindisa inceku yakho ekuthembayo; UnguNkulunkulu wami.
Preserue thou my soule, for I am mercifull: my God, saue thou thy seruant, that trusteth in thee.
3 Woba lesihawu kimi, Oh Thixo, ngoba ngitshona ngikubiza ilanga lonke.
Be mercifull vnto me, O Lord: for I crie vpon thee continually.
4 Letha ukuthokoza encekwini yakho, ngoba kuwe, Oh Thixo, ngiphakamisela umphefumulo wami.
Reioyce the soule of thy seruant: for vnto thee, O Lord, doe I lift vp my soule.
5 Uyathethelela njalo ulungile, Oh Thixo, ugcwele uthando kulabo abakhuleka kuwe.
For thou, Lord, art good and mercifull, and of great kindenes vnto all them, that call vpon thee.
6 Zwana umkhuleko wami, Oh Thixo; lalela ukukhala kwami ngicela umusa.
Giue eare, Lord, vnto my prayer, and hearken to the voyce of my supplication.
7 Mhla ngiphakathi kokuhlupheka ngizakhala kuwe, ngoba uzangiphendula.
In the day of my trouble I will call vpon thee: for thou hearest me.
8 Phakathi kwabonkulunkulu kakho onjengawe, Oh Thixo; kakulazenzo ezingalinganiswa lezakho.
Among the gods there is none like thee, O Lord, and there is none that can doe like thy workes.
9 Zonke izizwe owazenzayo zizakuza zikhonze kuwe, Nkosi; zizaletha udumo ebizweni lakho.
All nations, whome thou hast made, shall come and worship before thee, O Lord, and shall glorifie thy Name.
10 Ngoba umkhulu njalo wenza imisebenzi emangalisayo; wena wedwa unguNkulunkulu.
For thou art great and doest wonderous things: thou art God alone.
11 Ngifundisa indlela yakho, Oh Thixo, ukuze ngihambe eqinisweni lakho; ngipha inhliziyo engaxamalazanga, ukuze ngilesabe ibizo lakho.
Teach me thy way, O Lord, and I will walke in thy trueth: knit mine heart vnto thee, that I may feare thy Name.
12 Ngizakudumisa, Nkosi Nkulunkulu wami, ngenhliziyo yami yonke; ngizalidumisa ibizo lakho laphakade.
I wil prayse thee, O Lord my God, with all mine heart: yea, I wil glorifie thy Name for euer.
For great is thy mercie toward me, and thou hast deliuered my soule from the lowest graue. (Sheol h7585)
14 Iziqholo ziyangihlasela, Oh Nkulunkulu iqembu lamadoda alesihluku lizingela impilo yami abantu abangakunanziyo wena.
O God, the proude are risen against me, and the assemblies of violent men haue sought my soule, and haue not set thee before them.
15 Kodwa wena, Nkosi, unguNkulunkulu olozwelo, olobubelo, ophuza ukuzonda, owandayo ngothando lokuthembeka.
But thou, O Lord, art a pitifull God and mercifull, slowe to anger and great in kindenes and trueth.
16 Phendukela ngakimi ube lesihawu kimi; veza amandla akho ngenceku yakho, ngisindise ngoba ngiyakukhonza, njengokwenziwa ngumama.
Turne vnto me, and haue mercy vpon me: giue thy strength vnto thy seruant, and saue the sonne of thine handmayd.
17 Ngipha isiboniso sokulunga kwakho, ukuze izitha zami zisibone ziyangeke, ngoba wena, Oh Thixo, usungisizile njalo wangiduduza.
Shew a token of thy goodnes towarde me, that they which hate me, may see it, and be ashamed, because thou, O Lord, hast holpen me and comforted me.
