Isikhalo embandezelweni nengoma yombongo
Kumongameli: ngeyelexhama lesifingo. Umhobe kaDavide.
1Thixo wam, Thixo wam, undilahleleni na?
Ùkude ngani na ekusindisweni kwam, nasemazwini okubonga kwam?
2Thixo wam, ndiyabiza emini, ungaphenduli;
Nasebusuku ndiyabiza, andithozanyiswa noko.
3Ùngcwele ke wena,
Ungulohlala ezindumisweni zakwaSirayeli.
4Oobawo bákholosa ngawe,
Bakholosa, wabasiza;
5Bakhala kuwe, basinda;
Bakholosa ngawe, àbadana.
6Ke mna ndingumbungu, andimntu;
Ndisisingcikivo soluntu, into edelekileyo ebantwini.
7Bonke abandibonayo bayandigculela;
Bayasineka, bahlunguzela intloko;
8Bathi, Makazilahlele kuYehova, amsize,
Amhlangule kaloku, ngokuba emthandile.
9Ewe, nguwe umtyhobozisi wam esizalweni,
Inkolosisi yam ndisemabeleni kama.
10Ndalahlelwa kuwe kwasesizalweni;
Kwasembilinini kama ubunguThixo wam.
11Musa ukuba kude nam, ngokuba isondele imbandezelo,
Ngokuba akukho mncedi.
12Ndingqongwe ziinkunzi ezininzi,
Ndihlanganyelwe zeziziimbalasane zaseBhashan.
13Zindakhamele umlomo wazo,
Njengengonyama eqwengayo, egqumayo.
14Ndiphalele njengamanzi,
Ahlukene onke amathambo am;
Yanjengomthwebeba intliziyo yam,
Inyibilikile phakathi kwezibilini zam.
15Omile njengegophe amandla am,
Ulwimi lwam lunamathele ekhuhlangubeni lam;
Undibeka eluthulini lokufa.
16Ngokuba izinja zindirhawule,
Ibandla labenzi bokubi lindingungele;
Bagqobhoza izandla zam neenyawo zam.
17Ndinokuwabala onke amathambo am;
Bòna bayandijonga, bayandibonela,
18Babelana ngeengubo zam,
Isambatho sam basenzela amaqashiso.
19Ke wena, Yehova, musa ukuba kude;
Mandla am, khawuleza undincede.
20Wuhlangule ekreleni umphefumlo wam,
Okuphela kwawo, ethupheni lenja.
21Ndísindise emlonyeni wengonyama,
Nasezimpondweni zenqu ùya kundiphendula.
22Ndiya kulazisa igama lakho kubazalwana bam,
Ndikudumise phakathi kwebandla, ndithi,
23Nina nimoyikayo uYehova, mdumiseni;
Nonke, mbewu kaYakobi, mzukiseni,
Nimhlonele nina, mbewu yonke kaSirayeli.
24Kuba azidelekanga, azibanga nazothe kuye iintsizi zolusizana;
Akabusithelisanga ubuso bakhe kuye;
Ekuzibikeni kwakhe kuye waphulaphula.
25Ivela kuwe indumiso yam ebandleni elikhulu;
Nezibhambathiso zam ndiya kuzizalisa phambi kwabamoyikayo.
26Baya kudla abalulamileyo, bahluthe;
Baya kudumisa uYehova abamngxamelayo.
Ngamana yaphila intliziyo yenu ngonaphakade!
27Ziya kukhumbula zibuyele kuYehova zonke iziphelo zehlabathi,
Iqubude phambi kwakhe yonke imizalwane yeentlanga:
28Ngokuba bobukaYehova ubukumkani,
Nguye umlawuli ezintlangeni.
29Baya kudla, baqubude, bonke abatyebileyo behlabathi;
Baya kuguqa phambi kwakhe bonke abatshona eluthulini,
Abangàwugciniyo umphefumlo wabo.
30Imbewu iya kumkhonza;
Kuya kubaliselwa isizukulwana ngayo iNkosi.
31Baya kuza baxele ubulungisa bayo
Kubantu abaza kuzalwa, ukuba oko ukwenzile.
