Psalms 57
1 Yiba nomusa kimi, Nkulunkulu, ngihawukele. Ngokuba umphefumulo wami uphephela kuwe. Ngizokhosela emthunzini wamaphiko akho, zize zedlule izinhlekelele.
2 Ngizokhala kuNkulunkulu oPhezukonke, kuNkulunkulu ongiphindiselelayo.
3 Uzothumela esezulwini, angisindise. Uyamsola ofuna ukungifihliza. UNkulunkulu uzothumela umusa wakhe neqiniso lakhe.
4 Umphefumulo wami uphakathi kwamabhubesi, ngilele phakathi kwabakhafula umlilo, ngisho nabantwana babantu, abamazinyo ayimikhonto nemicibisholo, abalulimi luyinkemba ebukhali.
5 Phakama, Nkulunkulu phezu kwezulu, inkazimulo yakho ibe phezu komhlaba wonke.
6 Izinyathelo zami bazicuphe ngogibe, umphefumulo wami udangele, bangimbele umgodi, kwakhalakathela bona kuwo.
7 Inhliziyo yami yethabile, Nkulunkulu, inhliziyo yami igxilile. Ngizohlabelela, ngihube.
8 Vuka mphefumulo wami, vukani lugubhu nehabhu! Ngizovusa intathakusa.
9 Nkosi ngizokubonga phakathi kwabantu, ngikuhashe phakathi kwezizwe.
10 Ngokuba umusa wakho mkhulu, kuze kube sezulwini, nokwethembeka kwakho, kuze kube semafini.
11 Phakama, Nkulunkulu, phezu kwezulu, inkazimulo yakho ibe phezu komhlaba wonke.
