< Amahubo 43 >

1 Ngahlulela, Nkulunkulu, umele udaba lwami esizweni esingesabi uNkulunkulu; ungikhulule emuntwini wenkohliso longalunganga.
Bring me justice, God, and plead my cause against an ungodly nation.
2 Ngoba wena unguNkulunkulu wesiphephelo sami; ungilahleleni? Ngihambelani ngikwezimnyama ngenxa yocindezelo lwesitha?
For you are the God of my strength. Why have you rejected me? Why do I go about in 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 hill and to your dwelling.
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 with 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 bowed down, my soul? Why are you upset within me? Hope in God, for again I will praise him who is my salvation and my God.
