Amahubo 86
1 Beka indlebe yakho, Nkosi, ungiphendule, ngoba ngingumyanga, ngiyaswela.
A Prayer of David. Bow down thy 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 thou my God, save thy servant that trusteth in thee.
3 Woba lesihawu kimi, Nkosi, ngoba ngikhala kuwe usuku lonke.
Be merciful to me, O LORD: for I cry to thee daily.
4 Thokozisa umphefumulo wenceku yakho, ngoba kuwe, Nkosi, ngiyawuphakamisela umphefumulo wami.
Rejoice the soul of thy servant: for to thee, O LORD, do I lift up my soul.
5 Ngoba wena, Nkosi, ulungile, ungothethelelayo; umkhulu emuseni kubo bonke abakubizayo.
For thou, LORD, [art] good, and ready to forgive; and abundant in mercy to all them that call upon thee.
6 Beka indlebe, Nkosi, emkhulekweni wami; ulalele ilizwi lokuncenga kwami.
Give ear, O LORD, to 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 thee: for thou wilt answer me.
8 Kakho ofanana lawe phakathi kwabonkulunkulu, Nkosi, njalo enjengemisebenzi yakho kayikho.
Among the gods [there is] none like thee, O LORD; neither [are there any works] like thy works.
9 Izizwe zonke ozenzileyo zizakuza zikhothame phambi kwakho, Nkosi, zidumise ibizo lakho.
All nations whom thou hast made shall come and worship before thee, O LORD; and shall glorify thy name.
10 Ngoba wena umkhulu, wenza izinto ezimangalisayo, unguNkulunkulu wena wedwa.
For thou [art] great, and doest wondrous things: thou [art] God alone.
11 Ngifundisa indlela yakho, Nkosi, ngizahamba eqinisweni lakho; hlanganisa inhliziyo yami ukuze yesabe ibizo lakho.
Teach me thy way, O LORD; I will walk in thy truth: unite my heart to fear thy name.
12 Ngizakudumisa, Nkosi Nkulunkulu wami, ngenhliziyo yami yonke; ngilidumise ibizo lakho kuze kube nininini.
I will praise thee, O LORD my God, with all my heart: and I will glorify thy name for evermore.
13 Ngoba umusa wakho phezu kwami mkhulu; njalo wakhulula umphefumulo wami esihogweni esingaphansi kakhulu. (Sheol h7585)
For great [is] thy mercy towards me: and thou hast delivered my soul from the lowest hell. (Sheol h7585)
14 Nkulunkulu, abazigqajayo bangivukele, lemibuthano yabalobudlwangudlwangu idinga umphefumulo wami; njalo kabakubekanga phambi kwabo.
O God, the proud have risen against me, and the assemblies of violent [men] have sought after my soul; and have not set thee before them.
15 Kodwa wena, Nkosi, unguNkulunkulu olozwelo, lolesisa, ophuza ukuthukuthela, lomkhulu emuseni leqinisweni.
But thou, O LORD, [art] 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 to me, and have mercy upon me; give thy strength to thy servant, and save the son of thy handmaid.
17 Ngenzela isiboniso sokuhle, ukuze labo abangizondayo babone bayangeke, ngoba wena, Nkosi, ungisizile wangiduduza.
Show me a token for good; that they who hate me may see [it], and be ashamed: because thou, LORD, hast helped me, and comforted me.
