Amahubo 130

1 Ngisenzikini ngakhalela kuwe, Nkosi.

A song of ascents. Out of the depths I call to you, Lord.

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

Lord, hear my voice: give heed with your ears to my loud plea.

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

If you should mark sin, Lord, O Lord, who could stand?

4 Kodwa kuwe kulothethelelo, ukuze wesatshwe.

But with you is forgiveness, that you may be feared.

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

I wait for the Lord, I wait for his word,

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

I look for the Lord more than watchman for morning, than watchman for morning.

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

Israel, hope in the Lord: with the Lord there is love with him plenteous redemption.

8 Yona-ke izahlenga uIsrayeli kuzo zonke iziphambeko zakhe.

And he redeems Israel from all his iniquities.
