Amahubo 3
1 Nkosi, zande kangakanani izitha zami! Banengi abangivukelayo.
A Psalm of David, when he fled from Absalom his son. LORD, how are mine adversaries increased! many are they that rise up against me.
2 Banengi abathi ngomphefumulo wami: Kakulasindiso lwakhe kuNkulunkulu. (Sela)
Many there be which say of my soul, There is no help for him in God. (Selah)
3 Kodwa wena Nkosi, uyisihlangu sami, udumo lwami, lomphakamisi wekhanda lami.
But thou, O LORD, art a shield about me; my glory, and the lifter up of mine head.
4 Ngakhala ngelizwi lami eNkosini, yasingiphendula isentabeni yayo engcwele. (Sela)
I cry unto the LORD with my voice, and he answereth me out of his holy hill. (Selah)
5 Mina ngalala phansi, ngajumeka; ngavuka, ngoba iNkosi yangisekela.
I laid me down and slept; I awaked; for the LORD sustaineth me.
6 Kangiyikwesaba izinkulungwane ezilitshumi zabantu abangihanqileyo bemelana lami.
I will not be afraid of ten thousands of the people, that have set themselves against me round about.
7 Vuka, Nkosi! Ngisindisa, Nkulunkulu wami. Ngoba zonke izitha zami uzitshayile emhlathini, wephule amazinyo ababi.
Arise, O LORD; save me, O my God: for thou hast smitten all mine enemies upon the cheek bone; thou hast broken the teeth of the wicked.
8 Usindiso ngolweNkosi. Isibusiso sakho siphezu kwabantu bakho. (Sela)
Salvation belongeth unto the LORD: thy blessing be upon thy people. (Selah)
