Psalms 56

In God I trust, I will not fear

Kumqondisi wokuhlabela. Kulandelwa itshuni ethi, “Ijuba phezu kwemikusu ekude.” ElikaDavida. Imikithamu. Lapho wayesethunjwe ngamafilistiya eGathi. Woba lomusa kimi, Oh Nkulunkulu, ngoba abantu baxotshana lami kubi; ilanga lonke bayajujumezela bengihlasela. ²Labo abangigconayo baxotshana lami ilanga lonke; abanengi bangihlasela bekloloda. ³Nxa ngisesaba ngizathemba kuwe.

⁴KuNkulunkulu, engidumisa ibizo lakhe, ngithemba kuye uNkulunkulu; angiyikwesaba. Umuntu wenyama angenzani kimi? ⁵Ilanga lonke batshona behlanekela amazwi ami; beqoqa ukungibhidliza. ⁶Bayabuthana bengicathamela balandele izinyathelo zami betshisekela ukucitsha impilo yami.

⁷Loba sekutheni ungabayekeli baphunyuke; ngokuthukuthela kwakho, Nkulunkulu, zidilize izizwe. ⁸Bhala phansi isililo sami; bhala ithonsi ngalinye lezinyembezi zami emqulwini wakho kazikho yini emibhalweni yakho? ⁹Lapho-ke izitha zami zizafulathela nxa sengicela uncedo. Ngalokhu ngizakwazi ukuthi uNkulunkulu ulami.

¹⁰KuNkulunkulu, engidumisa ibizo lakhe, kuThixo engidumisa ibizo lakhe, ¹¹kuNkulunkulu ngiyathemba; angiyikwesaba. Umuntu angenzani kimi na? ¹²Ngibanjwe yizifungo kuwe, Oh Nkulunkulu; ngizakwethula umnikelo wami wokubonga kuwe.

¹³Ngoba ungikhulule ekufeni lezinyawo zami lapho ngikhubeka, ukuze ngihambe phambi kukaNkulunkulu ekukhanyeni kwempilo.
