Amahubo 70

1 Nkulunkulu, ngophula, Nkosi, phangisa ungisize.

For the chief musician. A psalm of David; to bring to remembrance. Save me, God! Yahweh, come quickly and help me.

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

Let those who try to take my life be ashamed and humiliated; let them be turned back and brought to dishonor, those who take pleasure in my pain.

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

Let them be turned back because of their shame, those who say, “Aha, aha.”

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

Let all those who seek you rejoice and be glad in you; let those who love your salvation always say, “May God be praised.”

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

But I am poor and needy; hurry to me, God; you are my help and you rescue me. Yahweh, do not delay.
