Amahubo 16
1 Ngilondoloza, Nkulunkulu, ngoba ngithembela kuwe.
The inscription of a title to David himself. Preserve me, O Lord, for I have put trust in thee.
2 Ngithe eNkosini: UyiNkosi yami, ukulunga kwami kakufiki kuwe.
I have said to the Lord, thou art my God, for thou hast no need of my goods.
3 Kodwa kubangcwele abasemhlabeni, labahlekazi, ontokozo yami yonke ikubo.
To the saints, who are in his land, he hath made wonderful all my desires in them.
4 Zizakwanda insizi zabagijimela omunye unkulunkulu; kangiyikunikela iminikelo yabo yokunathwayo yegazi; lamabizo abo kangiyikuwaphatha endebeni zami.
Their infirmities were multiplied: afterwards they made haste. I will not gather together their meetings for blood offerings: nor will I be mindful of their names by my lips.
5 INkosi iyisabelo selifa lami lesenkezo yami; wena uphethe isabelo sami.
The Lord is the portion of my inheritance and of my cup: it is thou that wilt restore my inheritance to me.
6 Imizila iwele kimi ezindaweni ezithokozisayo; yebo, ngilelifa elibukekayo.
The lines are fallen unto me in goodly places: for my inheritance is goodly to me.
7 Ngizayibonga iNkosi engelulekayo; lebusuku izinso zami ziyangiqondisa.
I will bless the Lord, who hath given me understanding: moreover my reins also have corrected me even till night.
8 Ngibekile iNkosi phambi kwami njalonjalo; ngoba ingakwesokunene sami, kangiyikunyikinywa.
I set the Lord always in my sight: for he is at my right hand, that I be not moved.
9 Ngakho inhliziyo yami iyathokoza, lodumo lwami luyajabula, lenyama yami izahlala ivikelekile.
Therefore my heart hath been glad, and my tongue hath rejoiced: moreover my flesh also shall rest in hope.
10 Ngoba kawutshiyanga umphefumulo wami esihogweni, njalo kawuyikunikela ongcwele wakho ukuthi abone ukubola. (Sheol h7585)
Because thou wilt not leave my soul in hell; nor wilt then give thy holy one to see corruption. (Sheol h7585)
11 Uzangazisa indlela yempilo; ukugcwala kwentokozo kusebukhoneni bakho, ngakwesokunene sakho kukhona izinjabulo phakade.
Thou hast made known to me the ways of life, thou shalt fill me with joy with thy countenance: at thy right hand are delights even to the end.
