Psalms 130

1 A song of ascents. Out of the depths I call to you, Lord.

Ingoma yemiqanso. Ngingaphansi ekujuleni ngiyakhala kuwe, Thixo;

2 Lord, hear my voice: give heed with your ears to my loud plea.

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

3 If you should mark sin, Lord, O Lord, who could stand?

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

4 But with you is forgiveness, that you may be feared.

Kodwa kuwe kulentethelelo; ngalokho uyesatshwa.

5 I wait for the Lord, I wait for his word,

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

6 I look for the Lord more than watchman for morning, than watchman for morning.

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

7 Israel, hope in the Lord: with the Lord there is love with him plenteous redemption.

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

8 And he redeems Israel from all his iniquities.

Yena ngokwakhe uzahlenga u-Israyeli kuzozonke izono zabo.
