Amahubo 141
1 Nkosi, ngiyakhala kuwe; phangisa uze kimi; beka indlebe elizwini lami lapho ngikhala kuwe.
A psalm of David O Yahweh I call out to you make haste! to me give ear to! voice my when call I to you.
2 Umkhuleko wami kawumiswe njengempepha phambi kwakho, ukuphakanyiswa kwezandla zami njengomnikelo wakusihlwa.
May it be established prayer my incense before you [the] raising of hands my an offering of evening.
3 Nkosi, bekela umlomo wami umlindi, gcina umnyango wendebe zami.
Set! O Yahweh a guard for mouth my keep watch! over [the] door of lips my.
4 Ungaphenduleli inhliziyo yami entweni embi, ukuthi ngenze izenzo ezimbi kanye labantu abenza ububi, ngingadli ezibilibocweni zabo.
May not you turn heart my to anything - evil to practice practices - in wickedness with people [who] do wickedness and not I will eat in delicacies their.
5 Olungileyo kangitshaye ethandwenilomusa, angisole; kuzakuba ngamafutha ekhanda, ikhanda lami kalingawali, ngoba lomkhuleko wami usezakuba sezinhluphekweni zabo.
Let him strike me a righteous [person] - loyalty and let him rebuke me oil of head may not it refuse head my for still and prayer my [is] on evil deeds their.
6 Abahluleli babo baphoselwa emaceleni edwala, bazakuzwa amazwi ami ngoba amnandi.
They have been thrown down at [the] hands of a rock judges their and they will hear words my for they are pleasant.
Like [one who] plows and [who] breaks up the earth they have been scattered bones our to [the] mouth of Sheol. (Sheol h7585)
8 Kodwa amehlo ami akuwe, Jehova, Nkosi; ngithembele kuwe; ungawuchayi umphefumulo wami.
For [are] to you - (O Yahweh *L(ah+b)*) O Lord eyes my in you I take refuge may not you lay bare life my.
9 Ngigcina emandleni omjibila abangibekele wona, lezithiyo zabenzi bobubi.
Keep me from [the] hands of [the] trap [which] they have laid for me and [the] snares of [those who] do wickedness.
10 Ababi kabawele emambuleni abo kanye, ngize ngidlule mina.
Let them fall in own nets his wicked [people] together I until I will pass by.
