Kumbhexeshi-kwayara; umhobe kaDavide xa wayejongene noNatan emveni kwenyala lakhe noBhashebha.
1Awu, Thixo, ndiyatarhuzisa!
Ngenxa yezibele zothando lwakho,
nobubanzi benceba yakho, nceda uzicime iziphoso zam!
2Ndihlambe ndahlukane nabo bonke ububi;
ndenze ndibe nyulu, ndingabi nasono!
3Kaloku ndiyabuvuma ubugwenxa bam;
isono sam sindithukuthezele.
4Eyona ngcambu yesono sam kukuba ndone wena kanye,
ndenze into ekuhlazisayo.
Ngoko ke undigwebe ngakhona;
isigwebo sakho sifanelekile.
5Kaloku ndaba gwenxa kwasekuzalweni;
ndaba ngumoni ndisakhawulwanje nguma.
6Ewe, wena uthanda umntu onyanisekileyo;
ndincede undiphe ingqiqo enzulu.
7Ndihlambe undicokise ndicoceke;
ndihlambe ndibe mhlophe qhwa,
ndibe ngaphezu kwalo nekhephu.
8Mandiphuphume luvuyo nemincili;
nakuba undikrobozile nje, mandonwabe.
9Bufihle ubuso bakho ezonweni zam,
ubususe bonke ubugwenxa bam.
10Ewe, Thixo, intliziyo yam yidale ngokutsha, ibe nyulu;
wuhlaziye umoya wam, ndikhaliphe.
11Musa ukundigxotha, Nkosi yam;
ungamthathi uMoya wakho kum.
12Ndibuyisele uvuyo losindiso lwakho,
undixhase ngoMoya wakho, khon' ukuze ndikuthobele.
13Ke, bona aboni ndiya kubafundisa imiyalelo yakho,
baguquke, beze kuwe.
14Awu, Thixo, ndihlangule ekufeni!
Nguwe, Thixo, ondisindisayo.
Ke mna ndiya kudanduluka,
ndicule ngokulunga kwakho.
15Vula imilebe yam, Nkosi,
khon' ukuze ndikubhengeze ngawo umlomo wam.
16Kaloku wena akunanze mibingelelo.
Ndingafanelana ndisenza amadini atshiswayo;
akangekwanelisi wena.
17Umbingelelo owufunayo, Thixo, yintliziyo ethobekileyo.
Intliziyo ethobekileyo neguqukayo, wena Thixo, akuyideli.
18Khawuncede uyivelele iZiyon, uyilungiselele;
khawuphinde uzakhe iindonga zeJerusalem.
19Uya kwandula ke waneliswe yimibingelelo efanelekileyo;
amadini atshiswayo, nditsho natshiswa ephelele.
Kobingwa neenkunzi eqongeni lakho lamadini.
