Amahubo 130

1 Ngisenzikini ngakhalela kuwe, Nkosi.

OUT of the depths have I cried unto thee, O Lord.

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

Lord, hear 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 shall stand?

4 Kodwa kuwe kulothethelelo, ukuze wesatshwe.

But there is forgiveness with thee, 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 they that watch for the morning: I say, more than they that watch for the morning.

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

Let 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 shall redeem Israel from all his iniquities.
