Amahubo 62
1 Ngoqotho, umphefumulo wami uyamlindela uNkulunkulu ngokuthula; luvela kuye usindiso lwami.
For the Leader; for Jeduthun. A Psalm of David. Only for God doth my soul wait in stillness; from Him cometh 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 slay him, all of you, as a leaning wall, a tottering fence?
4 Baceba kuphela ukumwisa ekuphakameni kwakhe, bathokoza ngamanga; ngomlomo wabo bayabusisa, kodwa ngaphakathi kwabo bayathuka. (Sela)
They only devise to thrust him down from his height, delighting in lies; they bless with their mouth, but they curse inwardly. (Selah)
5 Mphefumulo wami, lindela ngokuthula kuNkulunkulu kuphela; ngoba ithemba lami livela kuye.
Only for God wait thou in stillness, my soul; for from Him cometh my hope.
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.
Upon God resteth 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.
Men of low degree are vanity, and men of high degree are a lie; if they be laid in the balances, they are together lighter than vanity.
10 Lingathembeli embandezelweni, lingamisi ithemba eliyize ekuphangeni; uba inotho isanda, lingabeki inhliziyo kuyo.
Trust not in oppression, and put not vain hope in robbery; if riches increase, set not your heart thereon.
11 UNkulunkulu ukhulumile kwaba kanye, ngikuzwile lokhu kabili, ukuthi amandla angakaNkulunkulu.
God hath spoken once, twice have I heard this: that strength belongeth unto God;
12 Lomusa ungowakho, Nkosi; ngoba wena uyamphindisela wonke umuntu njengokomsebenzi wakhe.
Also unto Thee, O Lord, belongeth mercy; for Thou renderest to every man according to his work.
