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.
