Ihubo 12
UJehova ungumsizi wabamelana namashayakhothe
Kumholi wokuhlabelela. NgeSheminiti.* Ihubo likaDavide.
1Siza, Jehova,
ngokuba owesaba uNkulunkulu akasekho,
ngokuba banyamalele abathembekileyo kubantwana babantu.
2Bakhuluma amanga,
kwaba yilowo nalowo kumakhelwane wakhe;
ngezindebe ezithophayo bakhuluma nganhliziyombili.
3UJehova uyakunquma zonke izindebe ezithophayo,
ulimi olukhuluma amazwi amakhulu,
4abathi: “Siyakunqoba ngolimi lwethu;
izindebe zethu zinathi;
ngubani oyinkosi phezu kwethu na?”
5“Ngenxa yokubandezeka kwabahluphekileyo
nangokububula kwabampofu
ngizakuvuka kalokhu,” usho uJehova,
“ngimbeke ekusindisweni akulangazelelayo.”
6Amazwi kaJehova angamazwi ahlanzekileyo,
anjengesiliva elihlanjululwe esithandweni emhlabathini,
lihlanjululwe kasikhombisa.
7Wena Jehova uyakubagcina,
ubavikele kulesi sizukulwane kuze kube phakade.
8Abangamesabi uNkulunkulu bayashanguza nxazonke,
lapho amanyala ephakeme kubantwana babantu.
