Psalms 85
1 For the Chief Musician. A Psalm by the sons of Korah. Yahweh, you have been favorable to your land. You have restored the fortunes of Jacob.
Nkosi, ubulomusa elizweni lakho. Ubuyisile ukuthunjwa kukaJakobe.
2 You have forgiven the iniquity of your people. You have covered all their sin. (Selah)
Wathethelela ububi babantu bakho, wasibekela zonke izono zabo. (Sela)
3 You have taken away all your wrath. You have turned from the fierceness of your anger.
Ukususile konke ukuthukuthela kwakho, waphenduka ekuvutheni kolaka lwakho.
4 Turn us, God of our salvation, and cause your indignation toward us to cease.
Siphendule, Nkulunkulu wosindiso lwethu, wenze ulaka lwakho kithi luphele.
5 Will you be angry with us forever? Will you draw out your anger to all generations?
Uzasithukuthelela kokuphela yini? Uzakwelulela ulaka lwakho esizukulwaneni lesizukulwana yini?
6 Won’t you revive us again, that your people may rejoice in you?
Kawuyikubuya usivuselele yini, ukuze abantu bakho bathokoze kuwe?
7 Show us your loving kindness, Yahweh. Grant us your salvation.
Sitshengise umusa wakho, Nkosi, usinike usindiso lwakho.
8 I will hear what God, Yahweh, will speak, for he will speak peace to his people, his saints; but let them not turn again to folly.
Ngizakuzwa lokho uNkulunkulu iNkosi azakukhuluma, ngoba uzakhuluma ukuthula ebantwini bakhe, lakwabangcwele bakhe, kodwa kabangabuyeli ebuwuleni.
9 Surely his salvation is near those who fear him, that glory may dwell in our land.
Isibili usindiso lwakhe luseduze kulabo abamesabayo ukuze kuhlale udumo elizweni lakithi.
10 Mercy and truth meet together. Righteousness and peace have kissed each other.
Umusa leqiniso kuyahlangabezana, ukulunga lokuthula kwangene.
11 Truth springs out of the earth. Righteousness has looked down from heaven.
Iqiniso lizaphuma emhlabeni, lokulunga kuzakhangela phansi kusemazulwini.
12 Yes, Yahweh will give that which is good. Our land will yield its increase.
Yebo, iNkosi izanika okuhle, lelizwe lethu lizathela isivuno salo.
13 Righteousness goes before him, and prepares the way for his steps.
Ukulunga kuzahamba phambi kwayo, kwenzele izinyathelo zayo indlela.
