Amahubo 131

1 Nkosi, inhliziyo yami kayikhukhumali, lamehlo ami kawaphakami, njalo kangihambi ezintweni ezinkulu lezintweni ezimangalisayo kakhulu kimi.

A Song of Degrees. O Lord, my heart is not exalted, neither have mine eyes been [haughtily] raised: neither have I exercised myself in great [matters], nor in things too wonderful for me.

2 Sibili ngichumisile ngathulisa umphefumulo wami, njengolunyuliweyo kunina; umphefumulo wami unjengolunyuliweyo phakathi kwami.

[I shall have sinned] if I have not been humble, but have exulted my soul: according to [the relation of] a weaned child to his mother, so will you recompense my soul.

3 UIsrayeli kathembele eNkosini kusukela khathesi kuze kube laphakade.

Let Israel hope in the Lord, from henceforth and for ever.
