Psalms 130

1 A Song of Ascents. Out of the depths I have cried to you, Yahweh.

Ingoma yemiqanso. Ngingaphansi ekujuleni ngiyakhala kuwe, Thixo;

2 Lord, hear my voice. Let your ears be attentive to the voice of my petitions.

Thixo, zwana ilizwi lami. Indlebe zakho kazilalele ukukhala kwami ngicela umusa.

3 If you, Yah, kept a record of sins, Lord, who could stand?

Aluba wena, Thixo ububhala phansi zonke izono, ngubani ongema na Nkosi?

4 But there is forgiveness with you, therefore you are feared.

Kodwa kuwe kulentethelelo; ngalokho uyesatshwa.

5 I wait for Yahweh. My soul waits. I hope in his word.

Ngiyamlindela uThixo, umphefumulo wami uyalinda, ngibeka ithemba lami elizwini lakho.

6 My soul longs for the Lord more than watchmen long for the morning, more than watchmen for the morning.

Umphefumulo wami ulindela uThixo okudlula abalindi bemelele ukusa, okudlula abalindi bemelele ukusa.

7 Israel, hope in Yahweh, for there is loving kindness with Yahweh. Abundant redemption is with him.

We Israyeli, beka ithemba lakho kuThixo, ngoba kuye uThixo kulothando olungaphuthiyo njalo kuye kulensindiso epheleleyo.

8 He will redeem Israel from all their sins.

Yena ngokwakhe uzahlenga u-Israyeli kuzozonke izono zabo.
