Amahubo 86
1 Beka indlebe yakho, Nkosi, ungiphendule, ngoba ngingumyanga, ngiyaswela.
Bow down your ear, O LORD, hear me: for I am poor and needy.
2 Londoloza umphefumulo wami, ngoba ngiyamesaba uNkulunkulu; wena Nkulunkulu wami, sindisa inceku yakho ekuthembayo.
Preserve my soul; for I am holy: O you my God, save your servant that trusts in you.
3 Woba lesihawu kimi, Nkosi, ngoba ngikhala kuwe usuku lonke.
Be merciful unto me, O Lord: for I cry unto you daily.
4 Thokozisa umphefumulo wenceku yakho, ngoba kuwe, Nkosi, ngiyawuphakamisela umphefumulo wami.
Rejoice the soul of your servant: for unto you, O Lord, do I lift up my soul.
5 Ngoba wena, Nkosi, ulungile, ungothethelelayo; umkhulu emuseni kubo bonke abakubizayo.
For you, Lord, are good, and ready to forgive; and abundant in mercy unto all them that call upon you.
6 Beka indlebe, Nkosi, emkhulekweni wami; ulalele ilizwi lokuncenga kwami.
Give ear, O LORD, unto my prayer; and attend to the voice of my supplications.
7 Ngosuku lokuhlupheka kwami ngizakhala kuwe, ngoba uzangiphendula.
In the day of my trouble I will call upon you: for you will answer me.
8 Kakho ofanana lawe phakathi kwabonkulunkulu, Nkosi, njalo enjengemisebenzi yakho kayikho.
Among the gods there is none like unto you, O Lord; neither are there any works like unto your works.
9 Izizwe zonke ozenzileyo zizakuza zikhothame phambi kwakho, Nkosi, zidumise ibizo lakho.
All nations whom you have made shall come and worship before you, O Lord; and shall glorify your name.
10 Ngoba wena umkhulu, wenza izinto ezimangalisayo, unguNkulunkulu wena wedwa.
For you are great, and do wondrous things: you are God alone.
11 Ngifundisa indlela yakho, Nkosi, ngizahamba eqinisweni lakho; hlanganisa inhliziyo yami ukuze yesabe ibizo lakho.
Teach me your way, O LORD; I will walk in your truth: unite my heart to fear your name.
12 Ngizakudumisa, Nkosi Nkulunkulu wami, ngenhliziyo yami yonke; ngilidumise ibizo lakho kuze kube nininini.
I will praise you, O Lord my God, with all my heart: and I will glorify your name for evermore.
13 Ngoba umusa wakho phezu kwami mkhulu; njalo wakhulula umphefumulo wami esihogweni esingaphansi kakhulu. (Sheol h7585)
For great is your mercy toward me: and you have delivered my soul from the low hell. (Sheol h7585)
14 Nkulunkulu, abazigqajayo bangivukele, lemibuthano yabalobudlwangudlwangu idinga umphefumulo wami; njalo kabakubekanga phambi kwabo.
O God, the proud are risen against me, and the assemblies of violent men have sought after my soul; and have not set you before them.
15 Kodwa wena, Nkosi, unguNkulunkulu olozwelo, lolesisa, ophuza ukuthukuthela, lomkhulu emuseni leqinisweni.
But you, O Lord, are a God full of compassion, and gracious, long suffering, and abundant in mercy and truth.
16 Phendukela kimi, ungihawukele; uyiphe inceku yakho amandla akho, usindise indodana yencekukazi yakho.
O turn unto me, and have mercy upon me; give your strength unto your servant, and save the son of your handmaid.
17 Ngenzela isiboniso sokuhle, ukuze labo abangizondayo babone bayangeke, ngoba wena, Nkosi, ungisizile wangiduduza.
Show me a token for good; that they which hate me may see it, and be ashamed: because you, LORD, have helped me, and comforted me.
