Amahubo 16
1 Ngilondoloza, Nkulunkulu, ngoba ngithembela kuwe.
Michtam of Dauid. Preserue mee, O God: for in thee doe I trust.
2 Ngithe eNkosini: UyiNkosi yami, ukulunga kwami kakufiki kuwe.
O my soule, thou hast sayd vnto the Lord, Thou art my Lord: my weldoing extendeth not to thee,
3 Kodwa kubangcwele abasemhlabeni, labahlekazi, ontokozo yami yonke ikubo.
But to the Saints that are in the earth, and to the excellent: all my delite is in them.
4 Zizakwanda insizi zabagijimela omunye unkulunkulu; kangiyikunikela iminikelo yabo yokunathwayo yegazi; lamabizo abo kangiyikuwaphatha endebeni zami.
The sorowes of them, that offer to an other god, shall be multiplied: their offerings of blood will I not offer, neither make mention of their names with my lips.
5 INkosi iyisabelo selifa lami lesenkezo yami; wena uphethe isabelo sami.
The Lord is the portion of mine inheritance and of my cup: thou shalt mainteine my lot.
6 Imizila iwele kimi ezindaweni ezithokozisayo; yebo, ngilelifa elibukekayo.
The lines are fallen vnto me in pleasant places: yea, I haue a faire heritage.
7 Ngizayibonga iNkosi engelulekayo; lebusuku izinso zami ziyangiqondisa.
I wil prayse the Lord, who hath giuen me counsell: my reines also teach me in the nightes.
8 Ngibekile iNkosi phambi kwami njalonjalo; ngoba ingakwesokunene sami, kangiyikunyikinywa.
I haue set the Lord alwayes before me: for hee is at my right hand: therefore I shall not slide.
9 Ngakho inhliziyo yami iyathokoza, lodumo lwami luyajabula, lenyama yami izahlala ivikelekile.
Wherefore mine heart is glad and my tongue reioyceth: my flesh also doeth rest in hope.
10 Ngoba kawutshiyanga umphefumulo wami esihogweni, njalo kawuyikunikela ongcwele wakho ukuthi abone ukubola. (Sheol h7585)
For thou wilt not leaue my soule in the graue: neither wilt thou suffer thine holy one to see corruption. (Sheol h7585)
11 Uzangazisa indlela yempilo; ukugcwala kwentokozo kusebukhoneni bakho, ngakwesokunene sakho kukhona izinjabulo phakade.
Thou wilt shew me the path of life: in thy presence is the fulnesse of ioy: and at thy right hand there are pleasures for euermore.
