Umthandazo wokucela ukuhlangulwa nokuphindezelwa
Kumongameli; ngeyeenyibiba. EkaDavide.
1Ndísindise, Thixo;
Ngokuba amanzi andifikele, ada eza emphefumlweni.
2Nditshonile eludakeni olunzulu, akukho kuma;
Ndingene emmbithini onamanzi, umsinga uyandintywilisela.
3Ndidiniwe kukudanduluka; womile umqala wam;
Aphelile amehlo am; mna ndilindele kuThixo.
4Abandithiyayo ngelizé baninzi ngaphezu kweenwele zentloko yam;
Baninzi abandibangisayo, abaziintshaba zam bexoka;
Into endingayiphanganga bathi mandiyibuyise.
5Thixo, wena uyakwazi ukumatha kwam;
Namatyala am akanakugushwa kuwe.
6Mabangadani ngam abakuthembayo, Nkosi yam, Yehova wemikhosi;
Mabangangcikivwa ngam abakufunayo, Thixo kaSirayeli.
7Ngokuba ndithwele ingcikivo ngenxa yakho;
Ihlazo libugqubuthele ubuso bam;
8Ndingowasemzini kubazalwana bam;
Ndingowolunye uhlanga kubantwana bakama:
9Ngokuba lindidlile ikhwele ngenxa yendlu yakho:
Iingcikivo zabakungcikivayo ziwé phezu kwam.
10Mna, umphefumlo wam walila, uzila ukudla;
Oko kwaba yingcikivo kum.
11Iingubo zam zaba zezirhwexayo,
Ndaba yinto yokuzekelisa kubo.
12Bathetha ngam abahleli esangweni;
Ndiyingoma yamanxila.
13Ke mna ndithandaza kuwe, Yehova, ngexesha elikholekileyo:
Thixo, ngobuninzi benceba yakho,
Ndíphendule ngenyaniso yosindiso lwakho.
14Ndílangule eludakeni, ndingatshoni;
Mandihlangulwe kwabandithiyayo nasemimbithini enamanzi.
15Mawungandintywiliseli umsinga wamanzi;
Ingandiginyi inzulu;
Iqula malingandivingceli ngomlomo walo
16Ndíphendule, Yehova, ngokuba ilungile inceba yakho,
Ngangobuninzi bemfesane yakho ndíbheke.
17Musa ukubusithelisa ubuso bakho kumkhonzi wakho,
Ngokuba ndibandezelekile; khawuleza undiphendule.
18Sondela emphefumlweni wam, uwukhulule;
Ngenxa yeentshaba zam ndíkhulule.
19Wena uyakwazi ukungcikivwa kwam, nokudaniswa kwam, nokuhlazwa kwam;
Baphambi kwakho bonke abandibandezelayo.
20Ingcikivo yaphula intliziyo yam, ndaphantsa ukufa;
Ndathemba ukukhuzwa, akwabakho;
Nokuthuthuzelwa, andakufumana.
21Ukudla bándinika inyongo;
Ekunxanweni kwam bándiseza iviniga.
22Isithebe sabo phambi kwabo masibe ngumgibe;
Sibe sisirhintyelo kwabanemasi.
23Makabe mnyama amehlo abo, bangaboni,
Usigxadazèlise isinqe sabo amaxesha onke.
24Báphalazele ngobhavumo lwakho,
Kubafikele ukuvutha komsindo wakho.
25Ingqili yabo mayibe senkangala,
Ezintenteni zabo kungahlali mntu;
26Ngokuba bayamsukela obethwe nguwe,
Bancokole ngomvandedwa wobahlabileyo wena.
27Yongeza ubugwenxa ebugwenxeni babo,
Bangàngeni ebulungiseni bakho.
28Mabacinywe encwadini yobomi,
Bangàbhalwa namalungisa.
29Ke mna ndilusizana, ndinomvandedwa;
Usindiso lwakho, Thixo, malundise engxondeni.
30Ndiya kulidumisa igama likaThixo ngokuvuma,
Ndilenze likhulu ngokubulela.
31Oko kuya kukholeka kuYehova ngaphezu kweenkunzi ezintsha,
Ezineempondo neempuphu.
32Bebona abalulamileyo, bovuya;
Nina bamquqelayo uThixo, intliziyo yenu mayiphile.
33Ngokuba uYehova uyaweva amahlwempu,
Akabadeli ababanjiweyo bakhe.
34Malimdumise izulu nomhlaba,
Ulwandle nento yonke enambuzelayo kulo.
35Ngokuba uThixo uya kuyisindisa iZiyon, ayakhe imizi yakwaYuda,
Bahlale khona, bayimé;
36Ilidle ilifa imbewu yabakhonzi bakhe;
Bahlale kuyo abalithandayo igama lakhe.
