Umthandazo wokubawa ukuvikeleka
1Kumkhaleli; livunywa ngamafludu; irhubo lakaDavida.
2Hawu Somnini, beka indlebe emezwinami,
uzwe ukububula kwami.
3Yelela ilizwi lesililo sami,
wena Kosami noZimami
ngombana ngithandaza kuwe.
4Kosami, ulalela ilizwi lami ekuseni;
kuthi ngamasa ngendlale isibawo sami phambi kwakho
ngiyalindele.
5Wena awusuye uZimu ozwana nekohlakalo,
okumbi angeze kwahlala kuwe.
6Abazitjhayako angeze bajama phambi kwakho,
boke abenzi bobumbi uyabazonda.
7Abakhuluma amanga uyababhubhisa.
Iye, uSomnini uyamnyenya umbulali nomkhohlisi.
8Kodwana mina,
ngomusakho omkhulu ngingangena endlinakho,
ngokukuhlonipha ngizakukhothama
ngethempelini lakho elicwengileko.
9Somnini, ngebanga lezitha zami,
ngirhole ngokulunga kwakho,
yenza indlelakho ihlelembe phambi kwami.
10Ngambala akunaqiniso emlonyenazo,
imizindlwazo igcwele ukubhubhisa,
umphimbazo ulithuna elivulekileko,
ilimu lazo likabili.
11Zimu, zenze zithwale icala lazo,
amaqhingazo abe kukuwa kwazo.
Ziqotjhe ngebanga leemphambeko zazo ezinengi
ngombana zikuhlubukile.
12Yenza boke abaphephela kuwe bathabe,
benze bahlale bavuma iingoma ngokwenama.
Yembesa isivikelo sakho phezu kwabo,
abakhathalela ibizo lakho basase kuwe.
13Mbala Somnini, nguwe obusisa abalungileko,
umusakho ubavikela mazombe njengesihlangu.
