Kumholi wokuhlabelela; elikaDavide; ihubo
1Ungathuli, Nkulunkulu wokubonga kwami.
2Ngokuba umlomo womubi nomlomo wenkohliso bawuvulile ngakimi;
bakhulumile ngami ngolimi lwamanga.
3Bangizungeza ngamazwi enzondo;
balwa nami, kungekho-sizathu.
4Ngenxa yothando lwami bayangizonda,
mina ngisemkhulekweni njalo.
5Bangibuyisele okubi ngokuhle,
nenzondo ngothando lwami.
6Beka omubi phezu kwakhe;
makume omelene naye ngasesandleni sakhe sokunene.
7Ekwahlulelweni kwakhe makalahlwe yicala;
umkhuleko wakhe mawube-yisono.
8Izinsuku zakhe mazibe-yingcosana,
omunye athathe isikhundla sakhe.
9Abantwana bakhe mababe-yizintandane,
umkakhe abe-ngumfelokazi.
10Abantwana bakhe mababe-yizintandane, baphanze,
bacele bekude nezindawo zabo ezichithekileyo.
11Umtsheleki makabambe konke anakho,
abafo baphange izithelo zomsebenzi wakhe.
12Makungabikho omenzela umusa,
futhi kungabikho ohawukela izintandane zakhe.
13Inzalo yakhe mayinqunywe;
igama layo malesulwe esizukulwaneni esilandelayo.
14Ububi bawoyise mabukhumbuleke kuJehova;
masingesulwa isono sikanina.
15Mabeme phambi kukaJehova njalo,
kunqunywe isikhumbuzo sabo emhlabeni.
16Ngokuba wayengakhumbuli ukwenza umusa,
kepha wazingela umuntu odingayo nompofu
nodabukile ngenhliziyo ukuba ababulale.
17Wathanda ukuthuka, kweza phezu kwakhe;
wayengathokozi ngesibusiso, sahlala kude naye.
18Wagqoka ukuthuka njengesambatho,
kwangena ezibilinini zakhe njengamanzi,
nasemathanjeni akhe njengamafutha.
19Makube-kuye njengesambatho asembathayo
nebhande* azibopha ngalo isikhathi sonke.
20Lokhu makube-ngumvuzo wezitha, uvela kuJehova,
nowabakhuluma kabi ngomphefumulo wami.
21Kepha wena-Jehova, Nkosi yami, ngiphathe ngokwegama lakho;
njengokuba umusa wakho ulungile, ngisindise.
22Ngokuba ngingodingayo nompofu;
inhliziyo yami ilimele phakathi kwami.
23Njengethunzi eselilide ngiyamuka;
njengesikhonyane ngiyapheshulwa.
24Amadolo ami abuthakathaka ngokuzila ukudla,
nomzimba wami uswele ukukhuluphala.
25Futhi ngaba-yisihlamba kubona;
bengibheka banikina amakhanda abo.
26Ngisize, Jehova Nkulunkulu wami,
ngisindise ngokomusa wakho,
27ukuze bazi ukuthi lokhu kuyisandla sakho;
wena-Jehova ukwenzile.
28Mabathuke bona, wena ubusise;
nxa bevuka, mabajabhe;
kepha inceku yakho mayithokoze.
29Abamelene nami mabembeswe amahloni,
bagqoke ukujabha njengesambatho.
30Ngiyakumbonga uJehova ngomlomo wami,
ngimdumise esixukwini.
31Ngokuba uyakuma ngakwesokunene sompofu
ukumsindisa kulabo abalahla umphefumulo wakhe.
