Psalms 130

1 A Song of Ascents. Out of the depths, have I cried unto thee, O Yahweh.

Ingoma yemiqanso. Ngingaphansi ekujuleni ngiyakhala kuwe, Thixo;

2 O My Lord! hearken thou unto my voice, —Let thine ears be attentive to the voice of my supplications,

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

3 If, iniquities, thou shouldest mark, O Yah, O My Lord, who could stand?

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

4 But, with thee, is forgiveness, that thou mayest be revered.

Kodwa kuwe kulentethelelo; ngalokho uyesatshwa.

5 I have waited for Yahweh, My soul hath waited for his word;

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

6 I have hoped, O my soul, for My Lord, more than they who watch for the morning, who watch for the morning.

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

7 Wait, O Israel, for Yahweh, —for, with Yahweh, is lovingkindness, and there aboundeth with him—redemption.

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

8 He, therefore, will redeem Israel from all his iniquities.

Yena ngokwakhe uzahlenga u-Israyeli kuzozonke izono zabo.
