Amahubo 70

1 Nkulunkulu, ngophula, Nkosi, phangisa ungisize.

For the Chief Musician. By David. A reminder. Hurry, God, to deliver me. Come quickly to help me, LORD.

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

Let them be disappointed and confounded who seek my soul. Let those who desire my ruin be turned back in disgrace.

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

Let them be turned because of their shame 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 continually say, “Let God be exalted!”

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

But I am poor and needy. Come to me quickly, God. You are my help and my deliverer. LORD, don’t delay.
