Amahubo 138

1 Ngizakubonga ngenhliziyo yami yonke; phambi kwabonkulunkulu ngizakuhlabelela indumiso.

A Psalm of David. I will give Thee thanks with my whole heart, in the presence of the mighty will I sing praises unto Thee.

2 Ngizakhonza ngikhangele ngasethempelini lakho elingcwele, ngidumise ibizo lakho ngenxa yothando lwakho langenxa yobuqotho bakho; ngoba ukhulisile ilizwi lakho phezu kwalo lonke ibizo lakho.

I will bow down toward Thy holy temple, and give thanks unto Thy name for Thy mercy and for Thy truth; for Thou hast magnified Thy word above all Thy name.

3 Ngosuku engakhala ngalo wangiphendula, wangiqinisa ngamandla emphefumulweni wami.

In the day that I called, Thou didst answer me; Thou didst encourage me in my soul with strength.

4 Wonke amakhosi omhlaba azakudumisa, Nkosi, ngoba azwile amazwi omlomo wakho.

All the kings of the earth shall give Thee thanks, O LORD, for they have heard the words of Thy mouth.

5 Yebo, azahlabelela ngezindlela zeNkosi, ngoba lukhulu udumo lweNkosi.

Yea, they shall sing of the ways of the LORD; for great is the glory of the LORD.

6 Loba iNkosi iphakeme, kube kanti iyabona othobekileyo; kodwa ozigqajayo iyamazi ekhatshana.

For though the LORD be high, yet regardeth He the lowly, and the haughty He knoweth from afar.

7 Loba ngihamba phakathi kwenhlupheko, uzangiphilisa; uzakwelula isandla sakho umelana lolaka lezitha zami, lesandla sakho sokunene sizangisindisa.

Though I walk in the midst of trouble, Thou quickenest me; Thou stretchest forth Thy hand against the wrath of mine enemies, and Thy right hand doth save me.

8 INkosi izaphelelisa okumayelana lami; uthando lwakho, Nkosi, lumi kuze kube nininini. Ungatshiyi imisebenzi yezandla zakho.

The LORD will accomplish that which concerneth me; Thy mercy, O LORD, endureth for ever; forsake not the work of Thine own hands.
