Ulawulo lokumkani olilungisa
EkaSolomon.
1Thixo, mnike ukumkani imigwebo yakho,
Mnike unyana wokumkani ubulungisa bakho.
2Makagwebe ebantwini bakho ngobulungisa,
Nakwabaziintsizana zakho ngokwesiko.
3Iintaba mazibathwalele uxolo abantu,
Kwaneenduli zibathwalele ebulungiseni.
4Makagwebe ityala labaziintsizana ebantwini,
Asindise oonyana bamahlwempu,
Abatyumze abacudisi.
5Mabakoyike, ukuhlala elihleliyo ilanga
Kwanenyanga, izizukulwana ngezizukulwana.
6Makehle njengemvula ehla phezu kotyani obusikwayo,
Njengeziphango, njengemvula emathontsi makhulu, emhlabeni.
7Malityatyambe ngemihla yakhe ilungisa,
Nobuninzi boxolo, ide ingabi sabakho inyanga.
8Makaphathe ubukhosi ethabathela elwandle ase elwandle,
Ethabathela kuwo uMlambo• ase eziphelweni zehlabathi.
9Baya kuguqa phambi kwakhe abemi bomqwebedu,
Zikhothe uthuli iintshaba zakhe.
10Ookumkani baseTarshishe nabeziqithi baya kunika iminikelo;
Ookumkani bakwaShebha nabakwaSebha baya kusondeza isithabathaba;
11Baqubude kuye bonke ookumkani,
Zimkhonze sonke iintlanga.
12Ngokuba úya kulihlangula ihlwempu elizibikayo,
Nabaziintsizana abangenaluncedo;
13Abenzele inceba abasweleyo nabangamahlwempu;
Asindise imiphefumlo yamahlwempu;
14Akhulule imiphefumlo yawo ekuxinezelweni nasekugonyamelweni;
Linqabile emehlweni akhe igazi lawo.
15Úya kuphila anikwe igolide yakwaShebha,
Bahlale bemthandazela,
Bamsikelele imini yonke.
16Makubekho intabalala yengqolowa ezweni, ise encotsheni yeentaba;
Ukuqhama kwayo makurhashaze njengeLebhanon;
Mabatyatyambe emizini yabo njengemifuno yomhlaba.
17Malibe ngunaphakade igama lakhe;
Malivelise amagatya igama lakhe phambi kwelanga,
Bazisikelele ngaye;
Mazithi zonke iintlanga úngonoyolo.
18Makabongwe uYehova uThixo, uThixo kaSirayeli.
Ulomenzi wemisebenzi ebalulekileyo yena yedwa.
19Malisikelelwe igama lakhe elizukileyo ngonaphakade,
Lizale lonke ihlabathi luzuko lwakhe. Amen, amen.
