1Kumkhaleli; irhubo lakaDavida.
Somnini, ungiphenyile, uyangazi.
2Wena wazi ukuhlala nokuvuka kwami,

3Uhlolisisa ikhambo nokuzigedla kwami,
wazana neendlela zami zoke.
4Ngitjho ilizwi lingakabi semlonyenami,
wena Somnini, ulazi ngokupheleleko.
5Ungiphahle ngaphambili nangemuva
nesandla sakho singehla kwami.
6Ukwazi okunjalo kuyangimangalisa,
kuphakeme khulu, angikufikeleli.
7Ngizakuyaphi kude noMoyakho?
Ngizakubalekelaphi kude nebukhoneni bakho na?
8Lokha nangikhuphukela emazulwini,

Lokha nangendlala umkghadami
endaweni yabafileko,

9Lokha nangithatha amaphiko wokusa,
ngidoyele emikhawulweni yelwandle,
10nalapho isandla sakho sizangirhola,
isidla sakho singisingathe.
11Lokha nabe ngingathi,
“Ubumnyama abungibhudungele,
ukukhanya okungizombileko kube busuku”
12nobumnyama abuzukuba mnyama kuwe;
ubusuku buzakukhanya njengemini,
iye, ubumnyama bufane nokukhanya.
13Nguwe owadala iimbindi zami,
wangeluka esibelethweni sakamma.
14Ngiyakudumisa ngesimangaliso esesabekako
sokuba khona kwami!
Iye, imisebenzakho iyamangalisa;
lokho ngikwazi kuhle khulu!
15Amathambami bekangakafihleki kuwe
lokha nangibunjwa ekusithekeni.
Lokha ngelukwa ekuzikeni kwesibeletho,
16amehlwakho angibona ngisese lihlwili.
Koke ukubunjwa kwami kwatlolwa encwadinakho,
iye, azange kwatjhiywa nalinye ilanga lakhona.
17Zimu, amaqhingakho abudisi kimi!
Inani lawo liyababazeka!
18Lokha nangilinga ukuwabala
adlula ubunengi betjhwabatjhwaba.
Ngitjho nalokha nangivukako,
nalapho ngisese nawe ngemizindlo.
19Nina abomele iingazi, dedani kimi!
Zimu, kwanga bewungabhubhisa iinkhohlakali,
20iye, labo abakhuluma ikohliso ngawe.
Izitha zakho ziphatha ibizo lakho butjhilweni.
21Somnini, ngiyabazonda abakuzondako;
ngiyabanyenya abahlubukako.
22Ngibazonda ngezondo epheleleko;
bazizitha kimi.
23Yewungiphenye Somnini, wazi ihliziywami;
ngizizinye, wazi imikhumbulwami.
24Qala nakube ngisendleleni enesiphetho esinzima,
ungirholele endleleni yasafuthi.
