Amahubo 54

1 Nkulunkulu, ngisindisa ngebizo lakho, ungahlulele ngamandla akho.

To the choirmaster with stringed instruments a poem of David. When came the Ziphites and they said to Saul ¿ not [is] David hiding himself with us. O God by name your save me and by strength your you will vindicate me.

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

O God hear prayer my give ear! to [the] words of mouth my.

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

For strangers - they have risen up on me and ruthless [people] they have sought life my not they have set God to before themselves (Selah)

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

Here! God [is] a helper of me [the] Lord [is] [those who] sustain life my.

5 Izaphindisela ububi ezitheni zami. Baqume ngeqiniso lakho.

(May he bring back *Q(K)*) the evil to enemies my in faithfulness your destroy them.

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

In voluntariness I will sacrifice to you I will give thanks to name your O Yahweh for [it is] good.

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

For from every trouble he has delivered me and on enemies my it has looked eye my.
