Psalms 74
1 Nkulunkulu, usilahleleni kwaze kwaba phakade na? Izimvu zedlelo lakho uzithunqiselelani ngentuthu yolaka lwakho na?
2 Khumbula ibandla lakho owalizuza kwasemandulo, walikhulula ukuze libe yisizwe esiyifa lakho, nentaba iZiyoni ohlala kuyo.
3 Phangisa uzobona incithakalo yaphakade, isitha sesone konke endlini engcwele.
4 Izitha zakho zibhonge phakathi endlini yakho yokuhlanganela, zamisa izimpawu zazo zaba ngamabhanela,
5 kwangathi ngumuntu ephakamisa izembe phakathi kwemithi eminyeneyo.
6 Konke okwayo okubaziweyo zakuphohloza ngembazo nangesando.
7 Indlu yakho engcwele zayokhela ngomlilo. Indlu yegama lakho zayidumaza, zayicekela phansi.
8 Zathi enhliziyweni yazo: “Masibabhubhise kanyekanye;” zazishisa zonke izindlu zikaNkulunkulu zokuhlanganela.
9 Izimpawu zethu asiziboni, akusekho mphrofethi, akekho kithi owaziyo ukuthi kuyoze kube nini.
10 Nkulunkulu, kuyoze kube nini umcindezeli esithuka, isitha sihlala sihlambalaza igama lakho na?
11 Usigodleleni isandla sakho, isandla sakho sokunene na? Sikhiphe esifubeni sakho, uzibhubhise.
12 UNkulunkulu uyiNkosi yami kuze kube phakade, nguye owenza insindiso emhlabeni.
13 NguWena owehlukanisa ulwandle ngamandla akho, waphohloza amakhanda ezilo zasemanzini ezesabekayo.
14 NguWena owaphohloza amakhanda kaLeviyathani, wamnika izidalwa zasendle, zamudla.
15 NguWena owaveza isiphethu nomfudlana; nguWena owomisa imifula egobhoza ingashi.
16 Usuku lungolwakho, nobusuku bungobakho; nguWena owenza ukukhanya nelanga.
17 NguWena owamisa yonke imikhawulo yomhlaba; nguWena owenza ihlobo nobusika.
18 Simakade, khumbula lokhu, isitha sisethukile, nesizwe esinobuwula silihlambalazile igama lakho.
19 Ungawunikeli umphefumulo wejuba lakho esilwaneni; ungakhohlwa ukuphila kwezihlupheki zakho.
20 Khumbula isivumelwano, ngokuba izindawo zezwe ezimnyama, zigcwele izindlu zobudlova.
21 Ocindezelweyo makangabuyi ejabhile, ohluphekayo nompofu mababonge igama lakho.
22 Vuka, Nkulunkulu, uyimele indaba yakho, khumbula ukuthi uklolodelwa yiziwula usuku lonke.
23 Ungakhohlwa yizwi lezitha zakho, ukuxokozela kwabakuvukelayo kuya ngokuya kwenyukela.
