Amahubo 43

1 Ngahlulela, Nkulunkulu, umele udaba lwami esizweni esingesabi uNkulunkulu; ungikhulule emuntwini wenkohliso longalunganga.

Vindicate me, God, and plead my cause against a faithless nation. Oh, deliver me from the deceitful and unjust man.

2 Ngoba wena unguNkulunkulu wesiphephelo sami; ungilahleleni? Ngihambelani ngikwezimnyama ngenxa yocindezelo lwesitha?

For you, God, are my strength. Why have you rejected me? Why do I go mourning because of the oppression of the enemy?

3 Thumela ukukhanya kwakho leqiniso lakho, kungikhokhele, kungise entabeni yakho engcwele lemathabhanekeleni akho.

Oh, send out your light and your truth. Let them lead me. Let them bring me to your holy mountain, To your tents.

4 Khona ngizakuya elathini likaNkulunkulu, kuNkulunkulu injabulo yentokozo yami; yebo ngizakudumisa ngechacho, Nkulunkulu, Nkulunkulu wami.

Then I will go to the altar of God, to God, my exceeding joy. I will praise you on the harp, God, my God.

5 Udanelani mphefumulo wami? Njalo ukhathazekelani phakathi kwami? Themba kuNkulunkulu, ngoba ngisezamdumisa, ukusiliswa kobuso bami, loNkulunkulu wami.

Why are you in despair, my soul? Why are you disturbed within me? Hope in God. For I will again give him thanks, my saving presence and my God.
