Amahubo 130

1 Ngisenzikini ngakhalela kuwe, Nkosi.

A Song of Ascents. Out of the depths have I called Thee, O LORD.

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

Lord, hearken unto my voice; let Thine ears be attentive to the voice of my supplications.

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

If Thou, LORD, shouldest mark iniquities, O Lord, who could stand?

4 Kodwa kuwe kulothethelelo, ukuze wesatshwe.

For with Thee there is forgiveness, that Thou mayest be feared.

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

I wait for the LORD, my soul doth wait, and in His word do I hope.

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

My soul waiteth for the Lord, more than watchmen for the morning; yea, more than watchmen for the morning.

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

O Israel, hope in the LORD; for with the LORD there is mercy, and with Him is plenteous redemption.

8 Yona-ke izahlenga uIsrayeli kuzo zonke iziphambeko zakhe.

And He will redeem Israel from all his iniquities.
