Amahubo 61

1 Zwana, Nkulunkulu, ukukhala kwami, ulalele umkhuleko wami.

To the choirmaster - on a stringed instrument of David. Hear! O God cry of entreaty my pay attention to! prayer my.

2 Ngisemkhawulweni womhlaba ngizakhala kuwe, inhliziyo yami isiphela amandla; ngikhokhelela edwaleni eliphakemeyo kulami.

From [the] end of the earth - to you I call when grows faint heart my on a rock [which] it is high more than me you will lead me.

3 Ngoba ubuyisiphephelo sami, inqaba eqinileyo kuso isitha.

For you have been a refuge of me a tower of strength from before [the] enemy.

4 Ngizahlala ethenteni lakho kuze kube nininini, ngiphephele kungubudo yempiko zakho. (Sela)

Let me sojourn in tent your forever let me take refuge in [the] shelter of wings your (Selah)

5 Ngoba wena, Nkulunkulu, uzwile izifungo zami, wanginika ilifa labesaba ibizo lakho.

For you O God you have listened to vows my you have given [the] possession of [those] fearing name your.

6 Uzakwengeza izinsuku ezinsukwini zenkosi; iminyaka yayo izakuba njengesizukulwana lesizukulwana.

Days to [the] days of [the] king you will add years his [be] like a generation and a generation.

7 Kayihlale phambi kukaNkulunkulu kuze kube nininini; umise umusa leqiniso, ukuze kuyilondoloze.

May he sit forever before God covenant loyalty and faithfulness appoint they will preserve him.

8 Ngalokho ngizahlabela indumiso ebizweni lakho kuze kube nininini, ukuze ngigcwalise izifungo zami insuku ngensuku.

Thus I will sing praises to name your for ever to pay I vows my day - day.
