Umthandazo wethemba
Ucamngco lukaDavide.
1Ndikhusele kaloku, Thixo;
ndithembele ngawe.
2Ewe, ndiyazibika, *Ndikhoyo; nguwe iNkosi yam;
ngaphandle kwakho, Mhlekazi, andinabani.
3Kuba mna ulonwabo lwam luphakathi kwemilowo yakwaThixo;
nditsho leyo itshatsheleyo kweli hlabathi.
4Bazandisel' iintsizi abo bazinyulela *thixo wumbi.
Andiyi kuba nanxaxheba kumadini abo;
andiyi kubanqula ngomlomo wam oothixo babo.
5Nguwe kuphela, Ndikhoyo, inxaxheba endiyabelweyo;
lisentendeni yesandla sakhw' ibango lam.
6Isabelo sam sisendaweni entle;
hayi ukuba lihle kwalo ilifa lam!
7Mbongeni uNdikhoyo ngokuba endiphe icebo;
nesazela sam siyandiluleka ebusuku.
8Ndihlala ndimbeke phambi kwam uNdikhoyo;
ungasekunene kwam, ngoko ke andiyi kushukunyiswa nto.
9Yiyo ke loo nto ndihleli ndichwayitile nje;
ngenene ndiziva ndikhuselekile.
10Kaloku akuyi kundishiya enyanyeni ndide ndife;
akuyi kusiyeka sibole isicaka sakho esithembekileyo.
11Wena undazisa iindlela zobomi;
kaloku ndizala yimincili xa ndiphambi kwakho.
Ngasekunene kwakho yimihlali yodwa kude kube ngunaphakade.
