Amahubo 62
1 Ngoqotho, umphefumulo wami uyamlindela uNkulunkulu ngokuthula; luvela kuye usindiso lwami.
[For the Chief Musician. To Jeduthan. A Psalm by David.] My soul rests in God alone, for my salvation is from him.
2 Nguye kuphela olidwala lami losindiso lwami, inqaba yami; kangiyikunyikinywa kakhulu.
He alone is my rock and my salvation, my fortress—I will never be upended.
3 Koze kube nini liceba ububi limelene lomuntu? Lonke lizabulawa, njengomduli otshekileyo, uthango oludilikayo.
How long will you assault a man, would all of you throw him down, 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 fully intend to throw him down from his lofty place. 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 in silence for God alone, for my expectation is from him.
6 Nguye kuphela olidwala lami losindiso lwami, inqaba yami; kangiyikunyikinywa.
He alone is my rock and my salvation, my fortress. I will not be upended.
7 LukuNkulunkulu usindiso lwami lodumo lwami, idwala lamandla ami, isiphephelo sami, kukuNkulunkulu.
With God is my salvation and my honor. 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, O 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 just a breath, and men of high degree are a lie. In the balances they will go up. They are together lighter than a breath.
10 Lingathembeli embandezelweni, lingamisi ithemba eliyize ekuphangeni; uba inotho isanda, lingabeki inhliziyo kuyo.
Do not trust in oppression. Do not become vain in robbery. If riches increase, do not set your heart on them.
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 you, YHWH, belongs loving kindness, for you reward every man according to his work.
