Amahubo 70

1 Nkulunkulu, ngophula, Nkosi, phangisa ungisize.

To the chief Musician. [A Psalm] of David: to bring to remembrance. Make haste, O God, to deliver me; Jehovah, [hasten] to my help.

2 Kabayangeke babe lenhloni bonke abadinga umphefumulo wami; kababuyiselwe emuva bayangiswe abaloyisa ukulimala kwami.

Let them be ashamed and brought to confusion that seek after my soul; let them be turned backward and confounded that take pleasure in mine adversity;

3 Kababuyele emuva kube ngumvuzo wehlazo labo abathi: Aha, aha!

Let them turn back because of their shame that say, Aha! Aha!

4 Kabathabe bajabule kuwe bonke abakudingayo; labathanda usindiso lwakho kabatsho njalo bathi: Kabe mkhulu uNkulunkulu!

Let all those that seek thee be glad and rejoice in thee, and let such as love thy salvation say continually, Let God be magnified!

5 Kodwa ngingumyanga njalo ngiyaswela; Nkulunkulu, phangisa uze kimi. Wena ungumsizi wami lomkhululi wami; Nkosi, ungaphuzi.

But I am afflicted and needy: make haste unto me, O God. Thou art my help and my deliverer: O Jehovah, make no delay.
