Amahubo 86
1 Umkhuleko kaDavida Zwana, Oh Thixo, ungiphendule, ngoba ngingumyanga ngiyaswela.
Bow down your ear, O LORD, hear me: for I am poor and needy.
2 Vikela impilo yami, ngoba ngizinikele kuwe; sindisa inceku yakho ekuthembayo; UnguNkulunkulu wami.
Preserve my soul; for I am holy: O you my God, save your servant that trusts in you.
3 Woba lesihawu kimi, Oh Thixo, ngoba ngitshona ngikubiza ilanga lonke.
Be merciful to me, O Lord: for I cry to you daily.
4 Letha ukuthokoza encekwini yakho, ngoba kuwe, Oh Thixo, ngiphakamisela umphefumulo wami.
Rejoice the soul of your servant: for to you, O Lord, do I lift up my soul.
5 Uyathethelela njalo ulungile, Oh Thixo, ugcwele uthando kulabo abakhuleka kuwe.
For you, Lord, are good, and ready to forgive; and plenteous in mercy to all them that call on you.
6 Zwana umkhuleko wami, Oh Thixo; lalela ukukhala kwami ngicela umusa.
Give ear, O LORD, to my prayer; and attend to the voice of my supplications.
7 Mhla ngiphakathi kokuhlupheka ngizakhala kuwe, ngoba uzangiphendula.
In the day of my trouble I will call on you: for you will answer me.
8 Phakathi kwabonkulunkulu kakho onjengawe, Oh Thixo; kakulazenzo ezingalinganiswa lezakho.
Among the gods there is none like to you, O Lord; neither are there any works like to your works.
9 Zonke izizwe owazenzayo zizakuza zikhonze kuwe, Nkosi; zizaletha udumo ebizweni lakho.
All nations whom you have made shall come and worship before you, O Lord; and shall glorify your name.
10 Ngoba umkhulu njalo wenza imisebenzi emangalisayo; wena wedwa unguNkulunkulu.
For you are great, and do wondrous things: you are God alone.
11 Ngifundisa indlela yakho, Oh Thixo, ukuze ngihambe eqinisweni lakho; ngipha inhliziyo engaxamalazanga, ukuze ngilesabe ibizo lakho.
Teach me your way, O LORD; I will walk in your truth: unite my heart to fear your name.
12 Ngizakudumisa, Nkosi Nkulunkulu wami, ngenhliziyo yami yonke; ngizalidumisa ibizo lakho laphakade.
I will praise you, O Lord my God, with all my heart: and I will glorify your name for ever more.
For great is your mercy toward me: and you have delivered my soul from the lowest hell. (Sheol h7585)
14 Iziqholo ziyangihlasela, Oh Nkulunkulu iqembu lamadoda alesihluku lizingela impilo yami abantu abangakunanziyo wena.
O God, the proud are risen against me, and the assemblies of violent men have sought after my soul; and have not set you before them.
15 Kodwa wena, Nkosi, unguNkulunkulu olozwelo, olobubelo, ophuza ukuzonda, owandayo ngothando lokuthembeka.
But you, O Lord, are a God full of compassion, and gracious, long suffering, and plenteous in mercy and truth.
16 Phendukela ngakimi ube lesihawu kimi; veza amandla akho ngenceku yakho, ngisindise ngoba ngiyakukhonza, njengokwenziwa ngumama.
O turn to me, and have mercy on me; give your strength to your servant, and save the son of your handmaid.
17 Ngipha isiboniso sokulunga kwakho, ukuze izitha zami zisibone ziyangeke, ngoba wena, Oh Thixo, usungisizile njalo wangiduduza.
Show me a token for good; that they which hate me may see it, and be ashamed: because you, LORD, have helped me, and comforted me.
