Amahubo 70

1 Nkulunkulu, ngophula, Nkosi, phangisa ungisize.

For the music director. A psalm of David. For a memorial. God, save me! Hurry, Lord, help me!

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

Please defeat and humiliate the people who are trying to kill me; turn back in disgrace those who want to hurt me.

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

May they be shocked at their defeat, those who taunted me.

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

But may everyone who comes to you be happy and glad; may those who love your salvation always say, “God is great!”

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

As for me, I am poor and needy. Hurry, God, help me! Save me! Lord, don't wait!
