IINDUMISO 116

₁*UNdikhoyo ndiyamthanda, kuba uyandiva;

uyasabela ndakuzibika kuye.

₂Njengoko endiphulaphula nje,

ndobhenela kuye xa ndisadl' ubomi.

₃Izabatha zokufa zandibhijela,

izoyikiso zelabafileyo zandikhonkxa;

₇Musa ukuxhalaba, mphefumlo wam,

kuba uNdikhoyo undivelele.

₈UNdikhoyo undihlangule ekufeni;

yena undosule iinyembezi,

wandikhusela andakhubeka.

₉Kungoko ndihamba noNdikhoyo

kweli lizwe labaphilayo.

₁₀Ndancekelela, ndathemba,

nakuba ndandisithi sendivuthulukile.

₁₁Ekuncameni ndakhala ndathi:

“Abathembekanga kambe abantu.”

₁₂Yaz'ba ndingambuyisela ngantoni na uNdikhoyo

ngezibele ezingaka andenzele zona?

₁₃Ndothatha indebe yosindiso,

ndibize igama likaNdikhoyo.

₁₄Izithembiso zam ndozifezekisa kuNdikhoyo;

ewe, nditsho phambi kwabantu bakhe.

₁₅Ayithandeki kambe kuNdikhoyo

into yokufa kwabantu bakhe.

₁₆Awu, Ndikhoyo, ndisisicaka sakho;

ewe, ndingunyana wesicakazana sakho;

ndilapha nje ndakhululwa nguwe.

₁₇Ndiya kukwenzela idini lombulelo;

ewe, ndobiza igama likaNdikhoyo.

₁₈Izithembiso zam ndozifezekisa kuye;

ewe, nditsho phambi kwabantu bakhe,

kanye phakathi eJerusalem.
