Amahubo 131

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

A Song of Ascents. David’s. O Yahweh, my heart, is not haughty, nor are mine eyes, lofty, neither have I moved among great matters, or among affairs too wonderful for me.

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

Surely I have soothed and silenced my soul, —like a weaned child, concerning his mother, like a weaned child, concerning myself—mine own soul.

3 UIsrayeli kathembele eNkosini kusukela khathesi kuze kube laphakade.

Wait, O Israel, for Yahweh, from this time forth, even to times age-abiding.
