Ukwahlulela kukaNkulunkulu
Kumholi wokuhlabelela; indlela: Ukufa kwendodana; ihubo likaDavide
1Ngiyakumbonga uJehova ngayo yonke inhliziyo yami;
ngiyakulanda zonke izimangaliso zakho.
2Ngiyakujabula, ngethabe kuwe;
ngiyakudumisa igama lakho wena oPhezukonke,
3ngokuba izitha zami zibuyela emuva,
ziwa, zibhubha ebusweni bakho,
4ngokuba ulimelele ilungelo lami nendaba yami,
uhlezi esihlalweni sobukhosi, ungumahluleli olungileyo.
5Ujezisile abezizwe, wabhubhisa ababi;
igama labo ulesulile kuze kube-phakade naphakade.
6Izitha ziphelile, zachitheka kuze kube-phakade;
imizi wayisimbula,
ukukhunjulwa kwayo kwaphela nya.
7UJehova uyabusa kuze kube-phakade;
isihlalo sakhe sobukhosi usimisela ukwahlulela;
8umhlaba uyakuwahlulela ngokulunga,
athethe amacala ezizwe ngobuqotho.
9UJehova uyinqaba yocindezelweyo,
uyinqaba ezikhathini zokuhlupheka.
10Nabalaziyo igama lakho bayakwethemba wena;
ngokuba wena-Jehova awubashiyi abakufunayo.
11Hubani nimdumise uJehova ohlezi eSiyoni;
memezelani ezizweni izenzo zakhe ezinkulu.
12Ngokuba yena ophindisela igazi uyabakhumbula abahluphekayo;
akakhohlwa ukukhala kwabo.
13Yiba-nomusa kimi, Jehova;
kubone engihlupheka ngakho ngabangizondayo
wena ongiphakamisa emasangweni okufa,
14ukuze ngilande ngalo lonke udumo lwakho,
ngethabe ngokusindisa kwakho
emasangweni endodakazi yaseSiyoni.
15Abezizwe bashoné phansi egebeni abalenzileyo;
unyawo lwabo lubhajwé esihibeni abasifihlileyo.
16UJehova uzazisile, wahlulela;
umcuphile omubi emsebenzini wezandla zakhe. Higayoni*. Sela*.
17Ababi bayakubuyela endaweni yabafileyo,
bonke abezizwe abakhohlwa uNkulunkulu.
18Ngokuba ompofu kayikukhohlakala njalo;
ithemba labahluphekayo aliyikunyamalala kuze kube-phakade.
19Vuka, Jehova! Mawungavumi ukuba abantu bahlule;
abezizwe mabahlulelwe ebusweni bakho.
20Mabashaywe luvalo, Jehova;
abezizwe mabazazi ukuthi bangabantu nje. Sela*.
