Ihubo 122
IJerusalema lifiselwa isibusiso
Igama lokukhuphuka. ElikaDavide.
1Ngajabula lapho bethi kimi:
“Masiye endlini kaJehova.”
2Izinyawo zethu sezimi
emasangweni akho, Jerusalema,
3Jerusalema, wena owakhiwe
njengomuzi ohlanganisiwe ngokuqinileyo,
4lapho imindeni ikhuphukela khona,
imindeni kaJehova,
ngokomthetho ka-Israyeli
ukuba idumise igama likaJehova.
5Ngokuba kumisiwe khona izihlalo zokwahlulela,
izihlalo zobukhosi zendlu kaDavide.
6Khulekelani ukuthula kwaseJerusalema:
“Abakuthandayo bayakuphumelela kahle.
7Makube khona ukuthula phakathi kwezingange zakho,
nenhlanhla ezindlini zakho zobukhosi.”
8Ngenxa yabafowethu nabangane bethu ngizakuthi manje:
“Makube khona ukuthula kuwe.”
9Ngenxa yendlu kaJehova uNkulunkulu wethu
ngiyakukufunela okuhle.
