AMAHUBO 122
IJerusalema lifiselwa isibusiso
Igama lokukhuphuka; elikaDavide
1Ngajabula lapho bethi kimi:
Masiye endlini kaJehova.
2Izinyawo zethu sezimi
emasangweni akho, Jerusalema,
3Jerusalema, wena owakhiwe
njengomuzi ohlanganisiwe ngokuqinileyo,
4lapho imindeni ikhuphukela khona,
imindeni kaJehova,
ngokomthetho kaIsrayeli
ukuba idumise igama likaJehova.
5Ngokuba kumisiwe khona izihlalo zokwahlulela,
izihlalo zobukhosi zendlu kaDavide.
6Khulekelani ukuthula kwaseJerusalema;
abakuthandayo bayakuphumelela kahle.
7Makube-khona ukuthula phakathi kwezingange zakho,
nenhlanhla ezindlini zakho zobukhosi.
8Ngenxa yabafowethu nabangane bethu ngizakuthi manje:
Makube-khona ukuthula kuwe.
9Ngenxa yendlu kaJehova uNkulunkulu wethu
ngiyakukufunela okuhle.
