Pesalema 139

Modimo o tseba tsohle

1Pesalema ya Davida, e qapetsweng motsamaisi wa dibini.

Morena, o ntlhahlobile, o a ntseba.

2O tseba ha ke dula le ha ke ema,

o hlalohanya mehopolo ya ka,

o e hlalohanya ke sa le hole.

3O ntisa ha ke tsamaya

le ha ke robetse,

o tsebisisa metsamao ya ka yohle.

4Lentswe le eso be teng lemeng la ka,

o se o le tseba hantle, Morena.

5O ntlhahile kamahohle,

o beile letsoho la hao hodima ka.

6Tsebo ena e makatsang e a mpheta;

e tebile hoo nke keng ka e fihlela.

7Nka ya kae

ho ipatela moya wa hao?

Nka balehela kae

ho ipatela sefahleho sa hao?

8Ha nka nyolohela mahodimong,

o teng moo;

leha nka theohela Nqalong ya Bafu,

le teng o teng.

9Leha nka adima mapheo a mafube,

ka ya aha dipheletsong tsa lewatle,

10le hona moo letsoho la hao

le tla ntsamaisa,

letsoho la hao le letona

le tla ntshwara.

11Leha nka re:

“Ruri lefifi le tla mpata,

lesedi le nteetseng hare

le tla fetoha bosiu,”

12empa ho wena lefifi hase lefifi,

bosiu bo kganya jwaloka letsatsi,

lefifi le jwaloka lesedi.

13Ke wena ya bopileng

bokahare ba ka,

ya kopantseng ditho tsa ka

ke sa le popelong ya mme.

14Ke a o boka,

hobane o mpopile

ka mokgwa o makatsang;

mesebetsi ya hao e a hlolla,

hona ke ho tseba hantle.

15Masapo a ka

a ne a sa pateha ho wena,

ha ke ne ke bopjwa sephiring,

ke kopanngwa ditho

ke le botebong ba lefatshe.

16Mahlo a hao

a mpone ke eso tswalwe;

tsohle tsa ka

di ne di se di ngotswe bukeng ya hao,

le pele ke eba teng.

17Modimo, mehopolo ya hao

e thata hakaakang!

Palo ya yona

e kgolo hakaakang!

18Ha nka e bala,

e mengata ho feta lehlabathe;

ha nka e qeta,

o ntse o ena le nna.

Pesalema 139:1-18SSO89SOBula ka mmadi wa Bibele

How precious to me are your thoughts, O God. How vast are your thoughts? Lord let your thoughts be our thoughts. Help us to reflect that glory back to you and the world. We cannot reflect God’s love to the world, if we are filled with guilt and shame. May we shed our guilt and shame and rest in God’s thoughts, and let God’s thoughts be showered upon the world.
