Amahubo 6
1 Nkosi, ungangikhuzi entukuthelweni yakho, ungangijezisi ekuvutheni kolaka lwakho.
To the chief Musician. On stringed instruments, upon Sheminith. A Psalm of David. Jehovah, rebuke me not in thine anger, and chasten me not in thy hot displeasure.
2 Woba lomusa kimi, Nkosi, ngoba ngibuthakathaka. Nkosi, ngisilisa mina, ngoba amathambo ami ayakhathazeka.
Be gracious unto me, Jehovah, for I am withered; Jehovah, heal me, for my bones tremble.
3 Lomphefumulo wami ukhathazekile kakhulu: Kodwa wena, Nkosi, koze kube nini?
And my soul trembleth exceedingly: and thou, Jehovah, till how long?
4 Phenduka, Nkosi, khulula umphefumulo wami; ungisindise ngenxa yomusa wakho.
Return, Jehovah, free my soul; save me for thy loving-kindness' sake.
For in death there is no remembrance of thee; in Sheol who shall give thanks unto thee? (Sheol h7585)
6 Ngikhathele yikububula kwami; ubusuku bonke ngintshezisa icansi lami, ngezinyembezi zami ngimanzise umbheda wami.
I am wearied with my groaning; all the night make I my bed to swim; I dissolve my couch with my tears.
7 Ilihlo lami lidliwe ngenxa yosizi, liyaguga ngenxa yezitha zami zonke.
Mine eye wasteth away through grief; it hath grown old because of all mine oppressors.
8 Sukani kimi, lonke benzi bobubi, ngoba iNkosi izwile ilizwi lokulila kwami.
Depart from me, all ye workers of iniquity; for Jehovah hath heard the voice of my weeping.
9 INkosi izwile ukuncenga kwami; iNkosi izakwemukela umkhuleko wami.
Jehovah hath heard my supplication; Jehovah receiveth my prayer.
10 Zonke izitha zami zizayangeka zitshaywe luvalo kakhulu; zizaphenduka, zihle ziyangeke.
All mine enemies shall be ashamed and tremble exceedingly; they will turn, they will be ashamed suddenly.
