Psalms 16
1 Michtam of Dauid. Preserue mee, O God: for in thee doe I trust.
Ngilondoloza, Nkulunkulu, ngoba ngithembela kuwe.
2 O my soule, thou hast sayd vnto the Lord, Thou art my Lord: my weldoing extendeth not to thee,
Ngithe eNkosini: UyiNkosi yami, ukulunga kwami kakufiki kuwe.
3 But to the Saints that are in the earth, and to the excellent: all my delite is in them.
Kodwa kubangcwele abasemhlabeni, labahlekazi, ontokozo yami yonke ikubo.
4 The sorowes of them, that offer to an other god, shall be multiplied: their offerings of blood will I not offer, neither make mention of their names with my lips.
Zizakwanda insizi zabagijimela omunye unkulunkulu; kangiyikunikela iminikelo yabo yokunathwayo yegazi; lamabizo abo kangiyikuwaphatha endebeni zami.
5 The Lord is the portion of mine inheritance and of my cup: thou shalt mainteine my lot.
INkosi iyisabelo selifa lami lesenkezo yami; wena uphethe isabelo sami.
6 The lines are fallen vnto me in pleasant places: yea, I haue a faire heritage.
Imizila iwele kimi ezindaweni ezithokozisayo; yebo, ngilelifa elibukekayo.
7 I wil prayse the Lord, who hath giuen me counsell: my reines also teach me in the nightes.
Ngizayibonga iNkosi engelulekayo; lebusuku izinso zami ziyangiqondisa.
8 I haue set the Lord alwayes before me: for hee is at my right hand: therefore I shall not slide.
Ngibekile iNkosi phambi kwami njalonjalo; ngoba ingakwesokunene sami, kangiyikunyikinywa.
9 Wherefore mine heart is glad and my tongue reioyceth: my flesh also doeth rest in hope.
Ngakho inhliziyo yami iyathokoza, lodumo lwami luyajabula, lenyama yami izahlala ivikelekile.
10 For thou wilt not leaue my soule in the graue: neither wilt thou suffer thine holy one to see corruption. (Sheol h7585)
Ngoba kawutshiyanga umphefumulo wami esihogweni, njalo kawuyikunikela ongcwele wakho ukuthi abone ukubola. (Sheol h7585)
11 Thou wilt shew me the path of life: in thy presence is the fulnesse of ioy: and at thy right hand there are pleasures for euermore.
Uzangazisa indlela yempilo; ukugcwala kwentokozo kusebukhoneni bakho, ngakwesokunene sakho kukhona izinjabulo phakade.
