Amahubo 62

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

Truly my soul waiteth upon Elohim: from him cometh my salvation.

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

He only is my rock and my salvation; he is my defence; I shall not be greatly moved.

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

How long will ye imagine mischief against a man? ye shall be slain all of you: as a bowing wall shall ye be, and as a tottering fence.

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

They only consult to cast him down from his excellency: 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 only upon Elohim; for my expectation is from him.

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

He only is my rock and my salvation: he is my defence; I shall not be moved.

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

In Elohim is my salvation and my glory: the rock of my strength, and my refuge, is in Elohim.

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: Elohim 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: to be laid in the balance, they are altogether 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 upon them.

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

Elohim hath spoken once; twice have I heard this; that power belongeth unto Elohim.

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

Also unto thee, O YHWH, belongeth mercy: for thou renderest to every man according to his work.
