Umthandazo wokubawa ukuhlanjululwa
1Kumkhaleli; irhubo lakaDavida 2ekufikeni komphorofidi uNathani emva kokungena kwakaDavida kuBhathi-Tjheba.
3Ngirhawukele Zimu, ngokwethembeka kwakho;
sula iimphambeko zami ngokwesisa sakho esikhulu.
4Ungihlanzisise ecaleni lami,
ungihlambulule esonweni sami.
5Ngambala ngiyazazi iimphambeko zami
nesono sami siphambi kwami mlibe.
6Ngonile kuwe, iye, kuwe wedwa;
ngenze ameswe phambi kwakho.
Wena ulungile nawuthwesa umlandu,
awusoleki nawukhupha isigwebo sakho.
7Ngambala, ngabelethwa nginecala,
ngibe sisoni umma asangibamba.
8Wena uthanda ngibe neqiniso ngaphakathi,
nje-ke, ungifundisa ukuhlakanipha ehliziyweni.
9Ngirhuhle ngehisophi ukuze ngihlambuluke,
ungihlanze ngibe mhlophe kunogabhogo.
10Ngenze ngizwe ithabo nenjabulo godu,
wenze umzimba owufihlizileko uhlokome.
11Fihla ubuso bakho ezonweni zami,
usule koke ukonakala kwami.
12Zimu, ngidalela ihliziyo ehlanzekileko,
uvuselele ummoya oqinileko ngaphakathi kwami.
13Ungangilahli ebukhoneni bakho,
ungangemuki uMoyakho oCwengileko.
14Buyisela kimi ukwenama kwesindiswakho,
ungisekele ngommoya wokuzimisela.
15Ngifuna ukufundisa abaphambukako iindlela zakho
ukuze izoni ziphendukele kuwe.
16Zimu, ngephule ecaleni leengazi,
iye, wena Zimu wesindiswami,
khona ilimu lami lizakukhalela ngokulunga kwakho.
17Somandla, vula iimbhena zami
ukuze umlomami umemezele idumo lakho.
18Mbala awuthandi umhlabelo.
Nanyana benginganikela ngomhlabelo wokutjhiswa
bewungeze wawukarekela.
19Umnikelo owamukelekako kuZimu
umumoya ophukileko.
Iye Zimu, ihliziyo ephukileko nedabukileko,
angekhe wayiqalela phasi.
20Yenzela iZiyoni okuhle ngethando lakho,
uvuselele imithangala yeJerusalema.
21Ngalokho uzakujabulela imihlabelo efaneleko,
iye, imihlabelo yokutjhiswa njengeminikelo etjhiswa yoke;
nje-ke, e-aldarini lakho kuzakunikelwa ngeenkunzi.
