UJehova uyazi konke, ukhona ezindaweni zonke
Kumholi wokuhlabelela; elikaDavide; ihubo
1Jehova, uyangihlolisisa, uyangazi.
2Uyakwazi ukuhlala kwami nokuvuka kwami,
uqonda umcabango wami ukude.
3Uyaphenya ukuhamba kwami nokulala kwami,
wazana nezindlela zonke zami.
4Ngokuba alikho izwi olimini lwami, Jehova,
ongalaziyo ngokupheleleyo.
5Ungizungezile ngasemuva nangaphambili,
wabeka isandla sakho phezu kwami.
6Ukwazi okunjalo kuyangimangalisa;
kuphakeme, anginakufinyelela kukho.
7Ngiyakuyaphi, ngisuke emoyeni wakho, na?
Ngiyakubalekelaphi, ngimuke ebusweni bakho, na?
8Uma ngikhuphukela ezulwini, wena ulapho;
uma ngendlala icansi lami endaweni yabafileyo, nangu wena.
9Uma ngithabatha amaphiko okusa,
ngiye ngihlale emikhawulweni yolwandle,
10nalapho isandla sakho siyakungihola,
esokunene sakho singibambe.
11Uma bengithi: Ubumnyama mabungehlele,
ukukhanya kube-ngubusuku kimi,
12ubumnyama bebungayikuba-mnyama kuwe,
ngokuba ubusuku bebuyakukhanya njengemini,
ubumnyama bufane nokukhanya.
13Ngokuba wena uzenzile izinso zami,
wangaluka esiswini sikamame.
14Ngiyakukubonga, ngokuba ngenziwa ngokwesabekayo nangokumangalisayo;
imisebenzi yakho iyamangalisa;
umphefumulo wami uyakwazi kahle.
15Amathambo ami ayengafihlekile kuwe,
lapho ngenziwa ekusithekeni,
ngibunjwa ezindaweni ezijulileyo zomhlaba.
16Amehlo akho angibona ngiseyihlule;
zonke izinsuku zami zalotshwa encwadini yakho,
zanqunywa, lungakafiki nolulodwa kuzo.
17Imicabango yakho, Nkulunkulu, ingamagugu kimi;
bukhulu kangaka ubuningi bayo.
18Uma bengiyakuyibala, miningi kunesihlabathi;
lapho ngivuka, bengiyakuba-nawe.
19Sengathi ungabulala ababi, Nkulunkulu;
ngalokho sukani kimi nina-bantu begazi.
20Bakhuluma ngamacebo ngawe,
baliphatha ngeze igama lakho.
21Jehova, angibazondi abakuzondayo na?
Anginengwa ngabakuvukelayo na?
22Ngiyabazonda ngenzondo epheleleyo;
bayizitha kimi.
23Ngihole, Nkulunkulu, wazi inhliziyo yami;
ngilinge, wazi imicabango yami,
24ubone, uma kukhona indlela yosizi kimi,
ungiholele endleleni yaphakade.
