UThixo umgwebi
Kumbhexeshi-kwayara; umhobe ka-Asafu; liculo; liculwa ngathi leliya lithi: “Uze ungatshabalalisi.”
1Ngxatsho ke, siyakubulela, Thixo!
Siyalibabaza igama lakho
ngenxa yemisebenzi yakho emangalisayo.
2“Ngexesha endilimisileyo
ndiya kugweba ndingakhethi buso.
3Lakuhexa ihlabathi nabemi balo
iintsika zalo zomelezwa ndim.
4Kwabazingcayo ndithi: ‘Kahleni ngamabhongo.’
Kwizikhohlakali ndithi: ‘Sanukuqholosa.’
5Yahlukanani nokuzigqatsa;
kuyekeni ukubhobhoza.”
6Unyuselo aluveli empuma nasentshona,
lungaveli nasentlango.
7Kaloku nguThixo ogwebayo:
uyamthoba lo, amnyuse lowa.
8*UNdikhoyo uphethe indebe ngesandla,
iphuphuma ingqumbo ebilayo;
ubarhabulisa kuyo abagwenxa,
boyisela bafince nentlenge.
9Kodwa ndohlala ndimncoma njalo-njalo;
ndiya kumemelela ndibonga uThixo kaYakobi.
10Abagwenxa ndiya kubaphul' iimpondo;
ndiluphakamis' uphondo lwamalungisa.
