Amahubo 138

1 Ngizakubonga ngenhliziyo yami yonke; phambi kwabonkulunkulu ngizakuhlabelela indumiso.

BY DAVID. I confess You with all my heart, I praise You before the gods.

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 bow myself toward Your holy temple, And I confess Your Name, For Your kindness, and for Your truth, For You have made Your saying great above all Your Name.

3 Ngosuku engakhala ngalo wangiphendula, wangiqinisa ngamandla emphefumulweni wami.

In the day I called, when You answer me, You strengthen me in my soul [with] strength.

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

O YHWH, all kings of earth confess You, When they have heard the sayings of Your mouth.

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

And they sing in the ways of YHWH, For the glory of YHWH [is] great.

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

For YHWH [is] high, and He sees the lowly, And He knows the haughty from afar.

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

If I walk in the midst of distress You quicken me, You send forth Your hand against the anger of my enemies, And Your right hand saves me.

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

YHWH perfects for me, O YHWH, Your kindness [is] for all time, Do not let the works of Your hands fall!
