Amahubo 5

1 Beka indlebe emazwini ami, Nkosi; unanzelele ukububula kwami.

To him that excelleth upon Nehiloth. A Psalme of Dauid. Heare my wordes, O Lord: vnderstande my (meditation)

2 Lalela ilizwi lokukhala kwami, Nkosi yami loNkulunkulu wami; ngoba ngikhuleka kuwe.

Hearken vnto the voyce of my crie, my King and my God: for vnto thee doe I pray.

3 Nkosi, ekuseni uzalizwa ilizwi lami; ekuseni ngizahlela umkhuleko wami ngakuwe, ngilinde.

Heare my voyce in the morning, O Lord: for in the morning will I direct me vnto thee, and I will waite.

4 Ngoba kawusuye uNkulunkulu othokoza ebubini; omubi kayikuhlala lawe.

For thou art not a God that loueth wickednes: neither shall euill dwell with thee.

5 Abazikhukhumezayo kabayikuma phambi kwamehlo akho; uzonda bonke abenzi bobubi.

The foolish shall not stand in thy sight: for thou hatest all them that worke iniquitie.

6 Uzababhubhisa abaqamba amanga. INkosi iyamenyanya umuntu wegazi lenkohliso.

Thou shalt destroy them that speake lyes: the Lord will abhorre the bloodie man and deceitfull.

7 Kodwa mina, ngizangena endlini yakho ngobukhulu besihawu sakho, ngikhothame ngikhangele ethempelini lakho elingcwele, ngokukwesaba.

But I wil come into thine house in the multitude of thy mercie: and in thy feare will I worship toward thine holy Temple.

8 Nkosi, ngikhokhelele ekulungeni kwakho ngenxa yezitha zami, wenze indlela yakho iqonde phambi kwami.

Leade me, O Lord, in thy righteousnes, because of mine enemies: make thy way plaine before my face.

9 Ngoba kalikho iqiniso emlonyeni wazo, ingaphakathi yazo izinkohlakalo; umphimbo wazo ulingcwaba elivulekileyo, zibamba amehlo ngolimi lwazo.

For no constancie is in their mouth: within, they are very corruption: their throte is an open sepulchre, and they flatter with their tongue.

10 Tshono uthi zilecala, Nkulunkulu, kaziwe ngamacebo azo; uzilahle ngenxa yobunengi beziphambeko zazo, ngoba zikuvukele.

Destroy them, O God: let them fall from their counsels: cast them out for the multitude of their iniquities, because they haue rebelled against thee.

11 Kodwa kabathabe bonke abathembela kuwe, bamemeze kokuphela ngentokozo, ngoba ubavikele; lalabo abathanda ibizo lakho kabajabule kuwe.

And let all them that trust in thee, reioyce and triumph for euer, and couer thou them: and let them, that loue thy Name, reioyce in thee.

12 Ngoba wena Nkosi, uzabusisa olungileyo, uzamhanqa ngomusa njengesihlangu esikhulu.

For thou Lord wilt blesse the righteous, and with fauour wilt compasse him, as with a shielde.
