Amahubo 70

1 Nkulunkulu, ngophula, Nkosi, phangisa ungisize.

For the leader. Of David. For commemoration. Quickly, God, deliver me, hasten to help me, Lord.

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

May those who are seeking my life, be ashamed and confounded.

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

May those who delight in my hurt be defeated and brought to dishonor.

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

But may all who seek after you rejoice and be glad in you. May all who love your salvation say, “Glory to God,” evermore.

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

I am weak and needy: make haste, God, to me. You are my help and deliverer; Lord, don’t delay.
