Amahubo 16
1 Ngilondoloza, Nkulunkulu, ngoba ngithembela kuwe.
A MIKTAM OF DAVID. Preserve me, O God, for I trusted in You.
2 Ngithe eNkosini: UyiNkosi yami, ukulunga kwami kakufiki kuwe.
You have said to YHWH, “You [are] my Lord”; My goodness [is] not above You;
3 Kodwa kubangcwele abasemhlabeni, labahlekazi, ontokozo yami yonke ikubo.
For the holy ones who [are] in the land, And the honorable, all my delight [is] in them.
4 Zizakwanda insizi zabagijimela omunye unkulunkulu; kangiyikunikela iminikelo yabo yokunathwayo yegazi; lamabizo abo kangiyikuwaphatha endebeni zami.
Their griefs are multiplied, [who] have hurried backward; I do not pour out their drink-offerings of blood, Nor do I take up their names on my lips.
5 INkosi iyisabelo selifa lami lesenkezo yami; wena uphethe isabelo sami.
YHWH [is] the portion of my share, and of my cup, You uphold my lot.
6 Imizila iwele kimi ezindaweni ezithokozisayo; yebo, ngilelifa elibukekayo.
Lines have fallen to me in pleasant places, Indeed, a beautiful inheritance [is] for me.
7 Ngizayibonga iNkosi engelulekayo; lebusuku izinso zami ziyangiqondisa.
I bless YHWH who has counseled me; Also [in] the nights my reins instruct me.
8 Ngibekile iNkosi phambi kwami njalonjalo; ngoba ingakwesokunene sami, kangiyikunyikinywa.
I placed YHWH before me continually, Because [He is] at my right hand I am not moved.
9 Ngakho inhliziyo yami iyathokoza, lodumo lwami luyajabula, lenyama yami izahlala ivikelekile.
Therefore my heart has been glad, And my glory rejoices, Also my flesh dwells confidently:
10 Ngoba kawutshiyanga umphefumulo wami esihogweni, njalo kawuyikunikela ongcwele wakho ukuthi abone ukubola. (Sheol h7585)
For You do not leave my soul to Sheol, Nor give your Holy One to see corruption. (Sheol h7585)
11 Uzangazisa indlela yempilo; ukugcwala kwentokozo kusebukhoneni bakho, ngakwesokunene sakho kukhona izinjabulo phakade.
You cause me to know the path of life; In Your presence [is] fullness of joys, Pleasant things [are] by Your right hand forever!
