Psalms 57
1 Yiba nomusa kimi, Nkulunkulu; yiba nomusa kimi. Ngokuba umphefumulo wami uphephela kuwe; ngifuna ukukhosela ethunzini lamaphiko akho, zize zidlule izinhlupheko.
2 Ngizakukhala kuNkulunkulu oPhezukonke, kuNkulunkulu ongifezelayo.
3 Uyakuthumela esezulwini, angisindise mhla ofuna ukungigwinya ekloloda. UNkulunkulu uyakuthuma umusa wakhe neqiniso lakhe.
4 Umphefumulo wami uphakathi kwezingonyama; ngilala kwabavutha umlilo, abantwana babantu abamazinyo abo ayimikhonto nemicibisholo, abalulimi lwabo luyinkemba ebukhali.
5 Phakama, Nkulunkulu, phezu kwezulu, inkazimulo ibe phezu komhlaba wonke.
6 Izinyathelo zami bazibekele ugibe; umphefumulo wami ugobile; bembile igebe phambi kwami, kwakhalakathela bona kulo.
7 Inhliziyo yami iduduzekile, Nkulunkulu; inhliziyo yami iduduzekile; ngizakuhlabelela, ngihube.
8 Vuka, mphefumulo wami; vukani, lugubhu nehabhu!* Ngizakuvusa ukusa.
9 Ngizakukubonga, Nkosi, phakathi kwabantu, ngikudumise phakathi kwezizwe.
10 Ngokuba umusa wakho mkhulu kuze kube sezulwini, nokuthembeka kwakho kuze kube semafwini.
11 Phakama, Nkulunkulu, phezu kwezulu, inkazimulo yakho ibe phezu komhlaba wonke.
