Psalms 74— 2020

¹Nkulunkulu, usilahleleni kwaze kwaba phakade na? Izimvu zedlelo lakho uzithunqiselelani ngentuthu yolaka lwakho na?

²Khumbula ibandla lakho owalizuza kwasemandulo, walikhulula ukuze libe yisizwe esiyifa lakho, nentaba iZiyoni ohlala kuyo.

³Phangisa uzobona incithakalo yaphakade, isitha sesone konke endlini engcwele.

⁴Izitha zakho zibhonge phakathi endlini yakho yokuhlanganela, zamisa izimpawu zazo zaba ngamabhanela,

⁵kwangathi ngumuntu ephakamisa izembe phakathi kwemithi eminyeneyo.

⁶Konke okwayo okubaziweyo zakuphohloza ngembazo nangesando.

⁷Indlu yakho engcwele zayokhela ngomlilo. Indlu yegama lakho zayidumaza, zayicekela phansi.

⁸Zathi enhliziyweni yazo: “Masibabhubhise kanyekanye;” zazishisa zonke izindlu zikaNkulunkulu zokuhlanganela.

⁹Izimpawu zethu asiziboni, akusekho mphrofethi, akekho kithi owaziyo ukuthi kuyoze kube nini.

¹⁰Nkulunkulu, kuyoze kube nini umcindezeli esithuka, isitha sihlala sihlambalaza igama lakho na?

¹¹Usigodleleni isandla sakho, isandla sakho sokunene na? Sikhiphe esifubeni sakho, uzibhubhise.

¹²UNkulunkulu uyiNkosi yami kuze kube phakade, nguye owenza insindiso emhlabeni.

¹³NguWena owehlukanisa ulwandle ngamandla akho, waphohloza amakhanda ezilo zasemanzini ezesabekayo.

¹⁴NguWena owaphohloza amakhanda kaLeviyathani, wamnika izidalwa zasendle, zamudla.

¹⁵NguWena owaveza isiphethu nomfudlana; nguWena owomisa imifula egobhoza ingashi.

¹⁶Usuku lungolwakho, nobusuku bungobakho; nguWena owenza ukukhanya nelanga.

¹⁷NguWena owamisa yonke imikhawulo yomhlaba; nguWena owenza ihlobo nobusika.

¹⁸Simakade, khumbula lokhu, isitha sisethukile, nesizwe esinobuwula silihlambalazile igama lakho.

¹⁹Ungawunikeli umphefumulo wejuba lakho esilwaneni; ungakhohlwa ukuphila kwezihlupheki zakho.

²⁰Khumbula isivumelwano, ngokuba izindawo zezwe ezimnyama, zigcwele izindlu zobudlova.

²¹Ocindezelweyo makangabuyi ejabhile, ohluphekayo nompofu mababonge igama lakho.

²²Vuka, Nkulunkulu, uyimele indaba yakho, khumbula ukuthi uklolodelwa yiziwula usuku lonke.

²³Ungakhohlwa yizwi lezitha zakho, ukuxokozela kwabakuvukelayo kuya ngokuya kwenyukela.
