Umthandazo wokusizwa ekuzunyweni zizitha
1Umthandazo kaDavida.
Akhese ulalele, wena Somnini ogcina ukulunga!
Beka indlebakho esililweni sami,
uzwe umthandazwami,
ovela eembheneni ezinganakohliso.
2Ilungelo lami alivele kuwe,
amehlwakho abone okuliqiniso.
3Lokha nawuzizinya ihliziywami
nalokha nawungihlolisisako ebusuku,
iye, nawungihlahlubako
angeze ufunyane ihlazo kimi:
Umlomami awuphambuki.
4Mayelana nezenzo zabantu:
Ngokwamezwi womlomakho
ngiyelele iindlela zobudlova.
5Yeke, amagadangwami anamathele emitlhalenakho;
iinyawo zami akhange zitjhelele.
6Mina ngibiza wena Zimu ngombana uzangiphendula,
beka indlebakho kimi, uzwe amezwami.
7Tjengisa ukukhathalela kwakho okumangalisako.
Wena usindisa ngesandla sakho sokudla
labo abafuna isiphephelo ebajamelanini babo.
8Ngilonde njengehlavu yelihlo,
ungifihle emthunzini wamaphikwakho,
9iye, ungifihle eenkhohlakalini ezinenturhu kimi,
okuzizitha zepilwami ezingizombileko.
10Zivale iinhliziyo zazo esirhawini,
imilomazo ikhuluma ngokuzitjhaya.
11Zilandelele umtlhalami,
nje-ke sezingizombile;
amehlwazo anqophe ukungirabhalalisa.
12Zinjengamabhubezi arhalele ukudabudabula inyamazana
nanjengamabhubezana akhukhuthako.
13Sikima Somnini!
Qalana nazo, uziguqise!
Ngesabulakho sindisa ipilwami eenkhohlakalini,
14iye, Somnini, ngesandla sakho ebantwinabo.
Ababulalako abanapilwede,
lokho kusisabelo sabo epilweni
ngombana uzalisa izisu zabo
ngesibetho obabekele sona.
Abantwababo bazakusutha ngaso
bebanikele iinzukulwana zabo iinsalela.
15Kodwana mina ngizazizwela ubukhona bakho
ngisendawenakho yokulunga.
Lokha nangivukako
ngizakwaneliswa kuzibonakalisa kwakho.
