Umthandazo wokucela ukugwetywa kwabangendawo
Ishigayon• kaDavide, awayivumayo kuYehova ngenxa yamazwi kaKushi, umBhenjamin.
1Yehova, Thixo wam, ndizímela ngawe;
Ndísindise kubo bonke abandisukelayo, undihlangule,
2Hleze bawuqwenge njengengonyama umphefumlo wam,
Bawudlavule, kungekho mhlanguli.
3Yehova, Thixo wam, ukuba ndithe ndenza oku,
Ukuba kukho ubugqwetha ezandleni zam,
4Ukuba ndimphethe kakubi obexolelene nam,
Ndambhunyula ondibandezele kungekho sizathu:
5Maluwusukele utshaba umphefumlo wam, luwufumane,
Lubunyashele phantsi ubomi bam,
Uzuko lwam lululalise eluthulini. (Phakamisani.)
6Khawusuk' ume, Yehova, únomsindo,
Kuphakamele ukuphuphuma komsindo wabandibandezelayo;
Uvuke, undikhawulele; wena umisé umgwebo.
7Ibandla lezizwe malikungqonge;
Ubuyèle phezulu phezu kwalo.
8UYehova uya kugweba phakathi kwezizwe.
Lithethe ityala lam, Yehova, ngobulungisa bam, nangokugqibelela kwam okukum.
9Mabuphele ububi babangendawo, ulizimase ilungisa;
Ùngumcikidi weentliziyo nezintso, Thixo wobulungisa.
10Ingweletshetshe yam inoThixo,
Umsindisi wabantliziyo zithe tye.
11UThixo ngumgwebi olilungisa;
ÚnguThixo obhavuma yonke imihla.
12Ukuba ongendawo uthe akabuya, ulilolile ikrele lakhe;
Úsityedile isaphetha sakhe, wasilungisa.
13Uzibhekisé kuye izixhobo zokufa,
Uzenzé zanomlilo iintolo zakhe.
14Yabona, yena unenimba yobutshinga;
Ukhawulé ububi, wazala ubuxoki;
15Umbé umhadi, wawugomba;
Weyela esihogweni awasisebenzayo.
16Ububi bakhe bobuyela entlokweni yakhe,
Naselukakayini lwakhe kufike ukugonyamela kwakhe.
17Ndiya kubulela kuYehova ngokobulungisa bakhe,
Ndivume ngendumiso kwigama likaYehova ophezu konke.
