Amahubo 63
1 Nkulunkulu, unguNkulunkulu wami, ngizakudinga ngovivi; umphefumulo wami womela wena; inyama yami iyakulangatha, elizweni elomileyo leligagadekileyo, elingelamanzi.
A Psalme of David. When he was in the wildernesse of Judah. O God, thou art my God, earely will I seeke thee: my soule thirsteth for thee: my flesh longeth greatly after thee in a barren and drye land without water.
2 Njengoba ngikubonile endaweni engcwele, ngibone amandla akho lobukhosi bakho.
Thus I beholde thee as in the Sanctuarie, when I beholde thy power and thy glorie.
3 Ngoba uthandolomusa wakho lungcono kulempilo; indebe zami zizakudumisa.
For thy louing kindnesse is better then life: therefore my lippes shall prayse thee.
4 Ngokunjalo ngizakubonga ngisaphila, ngiphakamise izandla zami ebizweni lakho.
Thus will I magnifie thee all my life, and lift vp mine hands in thy name.
5 Umphefumulo wami uzasutha kungathi ngomnkantsho lamahwahwa, lomlomo wami uzadumisa ngezindebe ezithabisayo.
My soule shalbe satisfied, as with marowe and fatnesse, and my mouth shall praise thee with ioyfull lippes,
6 Lapho ngikukhumbula embhedeni wami, emilindweni yebusuku ngizindla ngawe.
When I remember thee on my bedde, and when I thinke vpon thee in the night watches.
7 Ngoba ubulusizo lwami, ngakho emthunzini wempiko zakho ngizahlabela ngithokoze.
Because thou hast bene mine helper, therefore vnder the shadow of thy wings wil I reioyce.
8 Umphefumulo wami unamathele ekukulandeleni, isandla sakho sokunene siyangisekela.
My soule cleaueth vnto thee: for thy right hand vpholdeth me.
9 Kodwa abadinga umphefumulo wami ukuwuchitha bazakuya ezindaweni zomhlaba eziphansi.
Therefore they that seeke my soule to destroy it, they shall goe into the lowest partes of the earth.
10 Bazanikelwa emandleni enkemba, babe yisabelo samakhanka.
They shall cast him downe with the edge of the sword, and they shall be a portion for foxes.
11 Kodwa inkosi izathokoza kuNkulunkulu; wonke ofunga ngaye uzazincoma; kodwa umlomo wabaqamba amanga uzavalwa.
But the King shall reioyce in God, and all that sweare by him shall reioyce in him: for the mouth of them that speake lyes, shall be stopped.
