Umthandazo wekucela kusindziswa ekuhlushweni
Sihlabelelo saDavide lesiyimiktamu leligugu njengegolide kuye. Wasihlabela asemgedzeni ngesikhatsi abalekele Sawula; setfulwe kumhlabelisi kutsi sihlatjelwe ngendlela letsi: “Ungabhubhisi.”
1 Ngihawukele, Nkulunkulu, ngihawukele,
ngobe wena usiphephelo semphefumulo wami,
ngiyawukhosela emtfuntini wemaphiko akho,
kuze kwendlule tivunguvungu temashwa.
2Ngikhala kuNkulunkulu
Losetikwako Konkhe,
kuNkulunkulu longifezela tinjongo takhe.
3Uyawutfumela asezulwini, angisindzise,
ahlazise labo labangigcobagcobako. Cabanga.
Nkulunkulu uyawubonakalisa
umusa wakhe nekwetsembeka kwakhe.
4Ngisemkhatsini wemabhubesi,
labantfu labashwabudzelanako.
Ematinyo awo atikhali nemicibisholo,
tilwimi tawo tinkemba letikhaliphako.
5Nkulunkulu,
phakama ube ngetulu kwemazulu,
inkhatimulo yakho
yengamele umhlaba wonkhe.
6Tinyatselo tami batibekele lugibe,
umphefumulo wami ushone phansi.
Bembe umgodzi wekungihholokoshisela
endleleni yami,
kodvwa sekuhholokoshele bona. Cabanga.
7Inhlitiyo yami ime sibindzi, Nkulunkulu,
inhlitiyo yami ime sibindzi,
ngiyawuhlabela
ngibonge ludvumo lwakho.
8Vuka, mphefumulo wami,
vuka habhu yami,
nawe lugubhu lwami.
Ngiyawuphaphamisa intsatsakusa.
9Ngiyawukubonga emkhatsini wetive, Simakadze,
ngikudvumise emkhatsini wetive.
10Ngobe umusa wakho mukhulu,
ufikela etulu emazulwini,
nekwetsembeka kwakho kufikela emafini.
11Nkulunkulu,
phakama ube ngetulu kwemazulu,
inkhatimulo yakho
yengamele umhlaba wonkhe.
