Amahubo 54

1 Nkulunkulu, ngisindisa ngebizo lakho, ungahlulele ngamandla akho.

To him that excelleth on Neginoth. A Psalme of David, to give instruction. When the Ziphims came and said unto Saul, Is not David hid among us? Save mee, O God, by thy Name, and by thy power iudge me.

2 Nkulunkulu, zwana umkhuleko wami, ubeke indlebe emazwini omlomo wami.

O God, heare my prayer: hearken vnto the wordes of my mouth.

3 Ngoba abemzini bangivukele, abalolunya badinga umphefumulo wami, kababekanga uNkulunkulu phambi kwabo. (Sela)

For strangers are risen vp against me, and tyrants seeke my soule: they haue not set God before them. (Selah)

4 Khangela, uNkulunkulu ungumsizi wami; iNkosi ilalabo abasekela umphefumulo wami.

Beholde, God is mine helper: the Lord is with them that vpholde my soule.

5 Izaphindisela ububi ezitheni zami. Baqume ngeqiniso lakho.

He shall rewarde euill vnto mine enemies: Oh cut them off in thy trueth!

6 Ngizanikela umhlatshelo kuwe ngokukhululeka, ngizadumisa ibizo lakho, Nkosi, ngoba lihle.

Then I will sacrifice freely vnto thee: I wil praise thy Name, O Lord, because it is good.

7 Ngoba ungikhulule ekuhluphekeni konke, lelihlo lami libonile isiloyiso sami ezitheni zami.

For he hath deliuered me out of al trouble, and mine eye hath seene my desire vpon mine enemies.
