Sekubonga sisa nemandla aNkulunkulu
Sihlabelelo saDavide sekudvumisa.
1Ngiyawuphakamisa wena,
Nkulunkulu wami neNkhosi yami,
ngituse libito lakho
phakadze naphakadze.
2Ngiyawukubabata onkhe emalanga,
ngidvumise libito lakho
phakadze naphakadze.
3Mkhulu Simakadze,
ufanele kudvunyiswa kakhulu,
bukhulu bakhe abuphenyisiseki.
4Titukulwane ngekwelamana kwato
tiyawubikelana ngemisebenti yakho;
tiyawumemetela
ngemisebenti yakho yemandla.
5Tiyawukhuluma ngenkhatimulo yakho,
tikhulume ngebukhosi bakho;
mine ngiyawuzindla
ngemisebenti yakho lemangalisako.
6Bantfu bayawubabata
bukhulu bemandla akho,
nami ngibabate bukhulu bakho.
7Bayawubalisa ngeludvumo lwakho,
nangebukhulu betento takho letinhle,
bahlabele ngekulunga kwakho.
8Simakadze unemusa nesihawu,
uyephuta kutfukutsela,
andze ngemusa.
9Simakadze muhle kubo bonkhe,
uyayihawukela imisebenti yakhe yonkhe.
10Yonkhe indalo netidalwa takho
tiyawubonga tidvumise wena, Simakadze,
nalabangcwele bonkhe bakudvumise.
11Bayawudvumisa ngenkhatimulo
yebukhosi bakho,
bashumayele ngemandla akho;
12kuze bonkhe bantfu emhlabeni
bayati imisebenti yakho yemandla,
kanye nenkhatimulo
yebukhosi bembuso wakho.
13Umbuso wakho ungumbuso lome
kuze kube phakadze,
lombuso uyawuhlala ukhona,
titukulwane ngetitukulwane.
Simakadze wetsembekile
kuto tonkhe tetsembiso takhe.
Unemusa kuyo yonkhe imisebenti yakhe.
14Simakadze uyabaphasa bonkhe labawako,
abaphakamise bonkhe labatfotjisiwe.
15Emehlo endalo yonkhe abheke kuwe,
uyipha kudla ngesikhatsi lesifanele.
16Uvula sandla sakho,
wesutsise tonkhe tifiso talokuphilako.
17Simakadze ulungile
kuto tonkhe tindlela takhe,
unemusa emisebentini yakhe yonkhe.
18Simakadze usedvute
nabo bonkhe labambitako,
bonkhe labambita ngeliciniso.
19Wesutsisa kufisa kwabo bonkhe labamesabako,
uyabeva nabakhalako, abasindzise.
20Simakadze uyabalondvolota
bonkhe labamtsandzako,
kepha lababi bonkhe uyawubabhubhisa.
21Umlomo wami uyawukhuluma
ludvumo lwakho, Simakadze,
tonkhe tidalwa atibonge
libito lakho lelingcwele
kuze kube phakadze naphakadze.
