Ukucela ukukhuselwa ezintshabeni
1Awu, Thixo, ndizimisele ngokupheleleyo;
ewe ngenene, andithandabuzi;
ndiza kumemelela nditsholoze!
2Ndosuka ndiqubul' ihapu nekatala;
ewe, ndovuka xa kumpondo zankomo.
3Ndiya kukuncoma phakathi kweentlanga, *Ndikhoyo;
ewe, ndokudumisa naphakathi kwezizwe.
4Izibele zakho zibalasele ezulwini;
ukuthembeka kwakho kurhec' amafu.
5Awu, Thixo, zimaseka phezulu esibhakabhakeni;
isidima nesihomo sakho masibe phezu kwehlabathi jikelele.
6Nceda ngamandla akho usivelele,
ukuze basinde abo ubathandayo.
7UThixo uthethe *esesibingelelweni sakhe,
wathi: “IShekem ndiyayahlula-hlula,
ngoloyiso ndiyayihlahlela;
intili yeSukoti yona ndiyibenge.
8IGiliyadi yeyam, noManase ngowam;
uEfrayim lelona xhadi lam;
uJuda ngumsimbithi wam.
9UMowabhi yintili yam yebhongo;
ke yena uEdom ndiyambanga.
EFilistiya ndikhwaza uloyiso.”
10Ngubani onokundisa emzini oxhotyisiweyo?
Ngubani onokundisa e-Edom?
11Noko usilahlile, Thixo?
Akusaphumi nemikhosi yethu?
12Sincedise ezintshabeni zethu;
kaloku olomntu uncedo luphuthile.
13Ukuba uThixo ungakuthi, siya kuphumelela;
uya kuzinyhasha iintshaba zethu.
