Amahubo 130

1 Ngisenzikini ngakhalela kuwe, Nkosi.

[A Song of Ascents.] Out of the depths I have cried to you, LORD.

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

LORD, hear my voice. Let your ears be attentive to the voice of my petitions.

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

If you, LORD, kept a record of sins, LORD, who could stand?

4 Kodwa kuwe kulothethelelo, ukuze wesatshwe.

But there is forgiveness with you, so that you may be revered.

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

I wait for the LORD. My soul waits. I hope in his word.

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

My soul longs for the LORD more than watchmen long for the morning; more than watchmen for the morning.

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

Israel, hope in the LORD, for with the LORD there is loving kindness. With him is abundant redemption.

8 Yona-ke izahlenga uIsrayeli kuzo zonke iziphambeko zakhe.

He will redeem Israel from all their sins.
