< Amahubo 3 >
1 Nkosi, zande kangakanani izitha zami! Banengi abangivukelayo.
YHWH, how are they increased that trouble me! many are they that rise up against me.
2 Banengi abathi ngomphefumulo wami: Kakulasindiso lwakhe kuNkulunkulu. (Sela)
Many there be which say of my soul, There is no help for him in Elohim. (Selah)
3 Kodwa wena Nkosi, uyisihlangu sami, udumo lwami, lomphakamisi wekhanda lami.
But thou, O YHWH, art a shield for me; my glory, and the lifter up of mine head.
4 Ngakhala ngelizwi lami eNkosini, yasingiphendula isentabeni yayo engcwele. (Sela)
I cried unto YHWH with my voice, and he heard me out of his holy hill. (Selah)
5 Mina ngalala phansi, ngajumeka; ngavuka, ngoba iNkosi yangisekela.
I laid me down and slept; I awaked; for YHWH sustained me.
6 Kangiyikwesaba izinkulungwane ezilitshumi zabantu abangihanqileyo bemelana lami.
I will not be afraid of ten thousands of people, that have set themselves against me round about.
7 Vuka, Nkosi! Ngisindisa, Nkulunkulu wami. Ngoba zonke izitha zami uzitshayile emhlathini, wephule amazinyo ababi.
Arise, O YHWH; save me, O my Elohim: for thou hast smitten all mine enemies upon the cheek bone; thou hast broken the teeth of the wicked.
8 Usindiso ngolweNkosi. Isibusiso sakho siphezu kwabantu bakho. (Sela)
Salvation belongeth unto YHWH: thy blessing is upon thy people. (Selah)
