Amahubo 130

1 Ngisenzikini ngakhalela kuwe, Nkosi.

Out of the depths I have cried to thee, O Lord:

2 Nkosi, zwana ilizwi lami, indlebe zakho zilalele ilizwi lokuncenga kwami.

Lord, hear my voice. Let thy ears be attentive to the voice of my supplication.

3 Uba wena, Nkosi, uqaphela iziphambeko, Nkosi, ngubani ongema?

If thou, O Lord, wilt mark iniquities: Lord, who shall stand it.

4 Kodwa kuwe kulothethelelo, ukuze wesatshwe.

For with thee there is merciful forgiveness: and by reason of thy law, I have waited for thee, O Lord. My soul hath relied on his word:

5 Ngiyilindele iNkosi, umphefumulo wami ulindile, lelizwini layo ngiyathemba.

My soul hath hoped in the Lord.

6 Umphefumulo wami ulindela iNkosi okwedlula abalindele ukusa, belindele ukusa.

From the morning watch even until night, let Israel hope in the Lord.

7 UIsrayeli kathembele eNkosini; ngoba eNkosini kulothandolomusa, njalo kuyo kulohlengo olunengi.

Because with the Lord there is mercy: and with him plentiful redemption.

8 Yona-ke izahlenga uIsrayeli kuzo zonke iziphambeko zakhe.

And he shall redeem Israel from all his iniquities.
