Ihubo 10

₁Jehova, umeleni kude na?

Uzifihlelani ubuso ezikhathini zokuhlupheka na?

₂Ngokuqhosha komubi ompofu uyahlupheka;

mababanjwe ngamacebo abawacebileyo.

₃Ngokuba omubi uyazigabisa ngokufisa komphefumulo wakhe,

nohulazayo uyamvalelisa,

amdelele uJehova.

₄Omubi ngokuzikhukhumeza kobuso bakhe uthi:

“Akanaki lutho;

akakho uNkulunkulu,”

injalo imicabango yakhe yonke.

₅Izindlela zakhe zithembekile izikhathi zonke;

izahlulelo zakho ziphakeme kakhulu kunokubona kwakhe;

zonke izitha zakhe uyazidelela.

₆Uthi enhliziyweni yakhe: “Angiyikuzanyazanyiswa;

izizukulwane nezizukulwane angisoze ngehlelwa ngozi.”

₇Umlomo wakhe ugcwele isiqalekiso nenkohliso nobudlova;

ngaphansi kolimi lwakhe kukhona ukwelelesa nokonakala.

₈Uhlezi ezindaweni zokuqamekela zemizi;

ezindaweni ezisithekileyo uyambulala ongenacala;

amehlo akhe ayamhlwaya othithibeleyo.

₉Endaweni esithekileyo uqamekela njengengonyama emphandwini wayo;

uhlomele ukumbamba ohluphekileyo;

uyambamba ohluphekileyo ngokumngenisa esihibeni sakhe.

₁₀Uyanyonyoba, uyakhothama,

abathithibeleyo bawe ngamazipho akhe.

₁₁Uthi enhliziyweni yakhe:

“UNkulunkulu ukhohliwe,

ubusithezile ubuso bakhe;

akasoze wakubona nanini.”

₁₂Vuka, Jehova!

Nkulunkulu, phakamisa isandla sakho,

ungakhohlwa abahluphekileyo.

₁₃Kungani ukuba omubi adelele uNkulunkulu,

athi enhliziyweni yakhe: “Awuyikukunaka,” na?

₁₄Ubonile wena;

ngokuba ukukhathazeka nokuhlupheka uyakubona wena

ukuze ukubeke esandleni sakho;

othithibeleyo uyazinikela kuwe;

wena ungumsizi wentandane.

₁₅Yaphula ingalo yomubi;

buphenyisise ububi besoni,

ukuze ungabe usabufumana.

₁₆UJehova uyinkosi kuze kube phakade naphakade;

abezizwe bayachithwa emhlabeni wakhe.

₁₇Jehova, uyakuzwa ukulangazela kwabamnene;

uyaqinisa inhliziyo yabo,

indlebe yakho uyibeka kubo

₁₈ukuba wahlulele intandane nocindezelweyo,

ukuze umuntu wasemhlabeni angabe esabanga uvalo.
