Amahubo 3
1 Nkosi, zande kangakanani izitha zami! Banengi abangivukelayo.
Jehovah, how my adversaries are increased! Many are those who rise up against me.
2 Banengi abathi ngomphefumulo wami: Kakulasindiso lwakhe kuNkulunkulu. (Sela)
Many there are who say of my soul, There is no help for him in God. (Selah)
3 Kodwa wena Nkosi, uyisihlangu sami, udumo lwami, lomphakamisi wekhanda lami.
But thou, O Jehovah, are a shield about me, my glory and he who lifts up of my head.
4 Ngakhala ngelizwi lami eNkosini, yasingiphendula isentabeni yayo engcwele. (Sela)
I cry to Jehovah with my voice, and he answers me out of his holy hill. (Selah)
5 Mina ngalala phansi, ngajumeka; ngavuka, ngoba iNkosi yangisekela.
I laid down and slept. I awoke, for Jehovah sustains me.
6 Kangiyikwesaba izinkulungwane ezilitshumi zabantu abangihanqileyo bemelana lami.
I will not be afraid of ten thousands of the people who have set themselves against me round about.
7 Vuka, Nkosi! Ngisindisa, Nkulunkulu wami. Ngoba zonke izitha zami uzitshayile emhlathini, wephule amazinyo ababi.
Arise, O Jehovah. Save me, O my God. For thou have smitten all my enemies upon the cheek bone. Thou have broken the teeth of the wicked.
8 Usindiso ngolweNkosi. Isibusiso sakho siphezu kwabantu bakho. (Sela)
Salvation belongs to Jehovah. Thy blessing be upon thy people. (Selah)
