Ihubo 13
Umkhuleko wocela ukusizwa ekuhluphekeni
Kumholi wokuhlabelela. Ihubo likaDavide.
1Koze kube nini, Jehova,
ungikhohlwa njalonjalo na?
Koze kube nini
usitheza ubuso bakho kimi na?
2Koze kube nini
ngikhathazeka emphefumulweni wami,
nginosizi enhliziyweni yami usuku lonke, na?
Koze kube nini
isitha sami siziphakamisa phezu kwami na?
3Bheka neno, ungiphendule,
Jehova Nkulunkulu wami;
khanyisa amehlo ami,
ngize ngingalali ubuthongo bokufa,
4ukuze isitha sami singasho ukuthi: “Ngimahlulile,”
funa abamelene nami bethabe lapha ngintengayo.
5Kepha ngiwuthembile umusa wakho;
inhliziyo yami izakwethaba ngensindiso yakho;
6ngizakuhlabelela kuJehova,
ngokuba ungenzele okuhle.
