Ukujabulela uNkulunkulu nezwi lakhe
ElikaDavide
1UJehova ungukukhanya kwami nensindiso yami; ngizakwesababani na?
UJehova uyinqaba yokuphila kwami; ngizakuba-novalo ngobani na?
2Ekusondeleni kwababi ukuba badle inyama yami
abamelene nami nezitha zami bayakhubeka, bawe.
3Noma impi imisa ngakimi,
inhliziyo yami ayesabi;
noma ngivukelwa ngukulwa,
nokho nginethemba.
4Kunye engikucelé kuJehova, ngiyakufuna khona:
ukuba ngihlale endlini kaJehova izinsuku zonke zokuphila kwami
ukubona ubuhle bukaJehova, ngibuke ithempeli lakhe.
5Ngokuba uyangithukusa edokodweni lakhe ngosuku lokuhlupheka,
angicashise ekusithekeni kwetende lakhe,
angiphakamisele edwaleni.
6Nakalokhu ikhanda lami lizakuphakama ngaphezu kwezitha zami ezingihaqileyo;
ngizakunikela iminikelo yokwethaba etendeni lakhe,
ngihlabele, ngidumise uJehova ngogubhu.
7Yizwa, Jehova, ngikhala ngezwi elikhulu;
yiba-nomusa kimi, ungiphendule.
8Kuwena othi: Funani ubuso bami, inhliziyo yami ithi:
Ubuso bakho, Jehova, ngiyabufuna.
9Ungafihli ubuso bakho kimi,
ungaxoshi inceku yakho ngokuthukuthela;
wena ulusizo lwami, ungangilahli, ungangishiyi,
Nkulunkulu wensindiso yami.
10Ngokuba ubaba nomame bangishiyile,
kodwa uJehova uzakungamukela.
11Ngifundise indlela yakho, Jehova,
ungihole endleleni ekhanyayo
ngenxa yezitha zami.
12Unganginikeli entandweni yezitha zami;
ngokuba ofakazi bamanga bangivukele
kanye nabafutha ukudlozomela.
13Yeka, uma bengingathembanga ukubona
okuhle kukaJehova ezweni labaphilayo!
14Lindela uJehova, uqine,
inhliziyo yakho ime isibindi;
yebo, lindela uJehova.
