Ukubawa uSomnini bonyana avikele ozunywako
1ITjhigayoni kaDavida ayirhubela uSomnini ngenca yamezwi kaKutjhe umBhenjamini.
2Somnini Zimami, ngiphephela kuwe,
ngisindise kwabangizumako ungihlenge,
3bangangidabudabuli njengebhubezi,
bangitlebhule iinquqwana,
kungekho ongilamulelako.
4Somnini, Zimami,
kukhona okumbi engikwenzileko na?
Kunokungakalungi ezandleni zami?
5Ngenze ubumbi kengikhambisana naye na?
Ngidlelezele umjamelanami ngaphandle kwesizathu?
6Nakunjalo, vumela isitha sami
sizumane nami besingifumane,
sigandelele ipilwami phasi,
iye, sigadangele isithunzi sami ethulini.
7Sikima ngelaka lakho Somnini!
Phakama ujamelane nokuvutha kwabajamelani bami!
Yeqa Zimu ungenyele!
Uyale bona kube nesigwebo,
8nje-ke vumela umhlangano wezizwe ukuphahle,
buyela esikhundleni sakho esiphakamileko wengamele.
9Iye, uSomnini nguye ogweba abantu.
Nje-ke Somnini, yewungigwebe ngokulunga kwami
nangokuya ngobuqotho obukimi.
10Inga kungapheliswa ubumbi beenkhohlakali!
Somnini, inga ungaqinisa abalungileko!
Mbala, ohlola iinhliziyo neziso
nguZimu olungileko.
11Isihlangu sami sikuZimu
osindisa abaqotho ngehliziyo.
12UZimu ungumgwebi olungileko,
uhlala aphambene nokumbi imihla yoke.
13Ngambala uzakubuya godu,
alole isabulakhe,
acuphe umsebe wakhe kobana ulunge.
14Ulungise iinhlabano zakhe zokubulala,
wenza imisubelakhe ibe masungulo avuthako.
15Lokha umuntu namitha okumbi,
akhulelwe umonakalo,
uzakubeletha ikohliso.
16Iye, owemba umgodi wesifu,
akhuphe ihlabathawo,
uzakuwela ngaphakathi komlindi awenzileko lowo.
17Umonakalwakhe uzakubuyela phezu kwehlokwakhe,
ubudlova bakhe behlele ekhakhayini lakhe.
18USomnini ngizamthokoza ngokulunga kwakhe,
ngizakuvuma ngidumise ibizo lakaSomnini ongoPhezulu.
