Psalms 62

1 For Jeduthun, the music director. A psalm of David. Only in God do I find peace; my salvation comes from him.

Ngoqotho, umphefumulo wami uyamlindela uNkulunkulu ngokuthula; luvela kuye usindiso lwami.

2 He is the one who protects me and saves me; he keeps me safe so I will never be in danger.

Nguye kuphela olidwala lami losindiso lwami, inqaba yami; kangiyikunyikinywa kakhulu.

3 How long are you going to attack me? All of you against one man! To you I'm just a broken wall, a collapsed fence.

Koze kube nini liceba ububi limelene lomuntu? Lonke lizabulawa, njengomduli otshekileyo, uthango oludilikayo.

4 They plan to throw me down from my high position; they love to tell lies. They say nice things to me, but inside they're cursing me. (Selah)

Baceba kuphela ukumwisa ekuphakameni kwakhe, bathokoza ngamanga; ngomlomo wabo bayabusisa, kodwa ngaphakathi kwabo bayathuka. (Sela)

5 Only in God do I find peace; my hope comes from him.

Mphefumulo wami, lindela ngokuthula kuNkulunkulu kuphela; ngoba ithemba lami livela kuye.

6 He is the one who protects me and saves me; he keeps me safe so I will not be in danger.

Nguye kuphela olidwala lami losindiso lwami, inqaba yami; kangiyikunyikinywa.

7 My salvation and my success come from God alone; God is my security and my protection.

LukuNkulunkulu usindiso lwami lodumo lwami, idwala lamandla ami, isiphephelo sami, kukuNkulunkulu.

8 My people, always trust in him. Pour out all your thoughts to him, for he is the one who looks after us. (Selah)

Thembani kuye isikhathi sonke, lina bantu; lithulule inhliziyo yenu phambi kwakhe; uNkulunkulu uyisiphephelo sethu. (Sela)

9 Ordinary people are mere breaths, while leaders are just fakes. Put them all together and weigh them on scales and they wouldn't weigh more than air!

Ngoqotho, abantukazana bayize, izikhulu ziyinkohliso; esilinganisweni balula kuleze bebonke.

10 Don't trust in money made by extortion or robbery. Don't be proud of your wealth even if you are successful—don't make money what you live for.

Lingathembeli embandezelweni, lingamisi ithemba eliyize ekuphangeni; uba inotho isanda, lingabeki inhliziyo kuyo.

11 God has already made it clear—I have heard it many times—power belongs to you, God.

UNkulunkulu ukhulumile kwaba kanye, ngikuzwile lokhu kabili, ukuthi amandla angakaNkulunkulu.

12 You show us trustworthy love. You give back to people in return for what they've done.

Lomusa ungowakho, Nkosi; ngoba wena uyamphindisela wonke umuntu njengokomsebenzi wakhe.
