Amahubo 62

1 Ngoqotho, umphefumulo wami uyamlindela uNkulunkulu ngokuthula; luvela kuye usindiso lwami.

My soul waits in silence for God only. From him is my salvation.

2 Nguye kuphela olidwala lami losindiso lwami, inqaba yami; kangiyikunyikinywa kakhulu.

He only is my rock and my salvation, my high tower. I shall not be greatly moved.

3 Koze kube nini liceba ububi limelene lomuntu? Lonke lizabulawa, njengomduli otshekileyo, uthango oludilikayo.

How long will ye set upon a man, that ye may kill, all of you, like a leaning wall, like a tottering fence?

4 Baceba kuphela ukumwisa ekuphakameni kwakhe, bathokoza ngamanga; ngomlomo wabo bayabusisa, kodwa ngaphakathi kwabo bayathuka. (Sela)

They only consult to thrust him down from his dignity. They delight in lies. They bless with their mouth, but they curse inwardly. (Selah)

5 Mphefumulo wami, lindela ngokuthula kuNkulunkulu kuphela; ngoba ithemba lami livela kuye.

My soul, wait thou in silence for God only, for my expectation is from him.

6 Nguye kuphela olidwala lami losindiso lwami, inqaba yami; kangiyikunyikinywa.

He only is my rock and my salvation, my high tower. I shall not be moved.

7 LukuNkulunkulu usindiso lwami lodumo lwami, idwala lamandla ami, isiphephelo sami, kukuNkulunkulu.

With God is my salvation and my glory. The rock of my strength, and my refuge, is in God.

8 Thembani kuye isikhathi sonke, lina bantu; lithulule inhliziyo yenu phambi kwakhe; uNkulunkulu uyisiphephelo sethu. (Sela)

Trust in him at all times, ye people. Pour out your heart before him. God is a refuge for us. (Selah)

9 Ngoqotho, abantukazana bayize, izikhulu ziyinkohliso; esilinganisweni balula kuleze bebonke.

Surely men of low degree are vanity, and men of high degree are a lie. In the balances they will go up. They are together lighter than vanity.

10 Lingathembeli embandezelweni, lingamisi ithemba eliyize ekuphangeni; uba inotho isanda, lingabeki inhliziyo kuyo.

Trust not in oppression, and become not vain in robbery. If riches increase, set not your heart on it.

11 UNkulunkulu ukhulumile kwaba kanye, ngikuzwile lokhu kabili, ukuthi amandla angakaNkulunkulu.

God has spoken once, twice I have heard this, that power belongs to God.

12 Lomusa ungowakho, Nkosi; ngoba wena uyamphindisela wonke umuntu njengokomsebenzi wakhe.

Also to thee, O Lord, belongs loving kindness, for thou render to every man according to his work.
