Ukugweba nokubabala kukaThixo
Kumbhexeshi-kwayara; umbongo kaDavide, ngexesha uDowegi umEdom exelela uSawule ukuba uDavide usemzini ka-Ahimeleki.
1Uqhayisela ntoni ngobubi, gorhandini,
usithi inceba kaThixo iphezu kwakho?
2Usoloko uzungula ukutshabalalisa.
Ulwimi lwakho alubukhali, yintshengeca!
Uhlala uyila ubutshijolo.
3Uthanda okubi kunokulungileyo;
uthe phithi bubuxoki endaweni yenyaniso.
4Hayi ke bethu umntu onolwini!
Uyakuthanda ukuphixanisa.
5Ke yena uThixo uya kukudiliza kuthi tu;
uya kukuthi xhakamfu, akukhuphe endlwini yakho;
uya kukuncothula umke ezweni labaphilayo.
6Akuyibona le nto amalungisa omangaliswa ahlekise athi:
7“Nanko ke umntu ongazange akholose ngoThixo,
owasuka wakholosa ngobutyebi,
waphumelela ngobutshijolo!”
8Ke mna ndinjengomnquma oyokoyoko;
ndihlala phakathi endlwini kaThixo.
Ndihlala ndikholose ngezibele zothando lukaThixo;
kuya kude kube ngunaphakade.
9Ngenxa yesi senzo sakho, Thixo, ndiya kukudumisa njalo-njalo.
Ndithembele kuwe kuba ulungile.
Ewe, ndiya kukubhengeza phakathi kwâbo bakuthandayo.
