Amahubo 130

1 Ingoma yemiqanso. Ngingaphansi ekujuleni ngiyakhala kuwe, Thixo;

A Song of Degrees. Out of the depths have I cried to you, O Lord.

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

O Lord, listen to my voice; let your ears be attentive to the voice of my supplication.

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

If you, O Lord, should mark iniquities, O Lord, who shall stand?

4 Kodwa kuwe kulentethelelo; ngalokho uyesatshwa.

For with you is forgiveness: for your name's sake

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

have I waited for you, O Lord, my soul has waited for your word.

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

My soul has hoped in the Lord; from the morning watch till night.

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

Let Israel hope in the Lord: for with the Lord is mercy, and with him is plenteous redemption.

8 Yena ngokwakhe uzahlenga u-Israyeli kuzozonke izono zabo.

And he shall redeem Israel from all his iniquities.
