Amahubo 131

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

A song of ascents. Of David. O Lord, my heart is not haughty, my eyes are not lofty, I walk not among great things, things too wonderful for me.

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

Yes, I have soothed and stilled myself, like a young child on his mother’s lap; like a young child am I.

3 UIsrayeli kathembele eNkosini kusukela khathesi kuze kube laphakade.

O Israel, hope in the Lord from now and for evermore.
