Amahubo 91
1 Ohlezi ekusithekeni koPhezukonke uzahlala emthunzini kaSomandla.
He who lives in the shelter of the Most High will stay in the shadow of the Almighty.
2 Ngizakuthi eNkosini: Uyisiphephelo sami lenqaba yami, uNkulunkulu wami, engithemba kuye.
I will say of Yahweh, “He is my refuge and my fortress, my God, in whom I trust.”
3 Sibili yena uzakukhulula emjibileni womthiyi, kuye umatshayabhuqe wesifo obhubhisayo.
For he will rescue you from the snare of the hunter and from the deadly plague.
4 Uzakusibekela ngensiba zakhe, uzathembela langaphansi kwempiko zakhe; iqiniso lakhe liyisihlangu lehawu.
He will cover you with his wings, and under his wings you will find refuge. His trustworthiness is a shield and protection.
5 Kawuyikwesaba isesabiso sebusuku, umtshoko ophaphayo emini,
You will not be afraid of terror in the night, or of the arrow that flies by day,
6 umatshayabhuqe wesifo ohambayo emnyameni, incithakalo ebhubhisayo emini enkulu.
or of the plague that roams around in the darkness, or of the disease that comes at noontime.
7 Bazakuwa abayinkulungwane eceleni kwakho, labayizinkulungwane ezilitshumi ngakwesokunene sakho; kuwe kakuyikusondela.
A thousand may fall at your side and ten thousand at your right hand, but it will not reach you.
8 Uzakhangela nje ngamehlo akho, ubone impindiselo kwababi.
You will only observe and see the punishment of the wicked.
9 Ngoba wena, Nkosi, uyisiphephelo sami; umenzile oPhezukonke waba yindawo yakho yokuhlala.
For Yahweh is my refuge! Make the Most High your refuge also.
10 Kakulabubi obuzakwehlela, lenhlupheko kayiyikusondela ethenteni lakho.
No evil will overtake you; no affliction will come near your home.
11 Ngoba uzalaya ingilosi zakhe ngawe, ukuthi zikulondoloze endleleni zakho zonke.
For he will direct his angels to protect you, to guard you in all your ways.
12 Zizakuphatha ezandleni, hlezi utshayeke ngonyawo lwakho elitsheni.
They will lift you up with their hand so that you will not hit your foot on a stone.
13 Uzanyathela isilwane lebululu, uzagxoba ibhongo lesilwane, lomgobho.
You will crush lions and adders under your feet; you will trample on young lions and serpents.
14 Ngoba uyangithanda kakhulu, ngakho ngizamkhulula; ngizambeka phezulu, ngoba uyalazi ibizo lami.
Because he is devoted to me, I will rescue him. I will protect him because he is loyal to me.
15 Uzangibiza, njalo ngimphendule; ngibe laye ekuhluphekeni, ngimkhulule, ngimnike udumo.
When he calls to me, I will answer him. I will be with him in trouble; I will give him victory and will honor him.
16 Ngizamsuthisa ngobude bezinsuku, ngimtshengise usindiso lwami.
I will satisfy him with long life and show him my salvation.
