Ihubo 138

₁Ngiyakukubonga ngenhliziyo yami yonke;

phambi kwawonkulunkulu ngiyakukuhubela.

₂Ngiyakukhuleka phambi kwethempeli lakho elingcwele,

ngibonge igama lakho ngenxa yomusa wakho neqiniso lakho,

ngokuba phezu kwakho konke uphakamisile igama lakho nezwi lakho.

₃Ngosuku engakhala ngalo wangiphendula;

wangiqunga isibindi,

wangipha amandla emphefumulweni wami.

₄Onke amakhosi omhlaba ayakukubonga, Jehova,

lapho ezwile amazwi omlomo wakho.

₅Yebo, ayakuhlabelela ngezindlela zikaJehova,

ngokuba inkulu inkazimulo kaJehova.

₆Ngokuba noma uJehova ephakeme,

uyanakekela nokho ophansi;

uyamazi ozidlayo ekude.

₇Noma ngihamba phakathi kwenhlupheko,

uyakungiphilisa;

uyakwelulela isandla sakho olakeni lwezitha zami,

esokunene sakho singisindise.

₈UJehova uyakufeza okwami;

Jehova, umusa wakho umi phakade;

ungashiyi imisebenzi yezandla zakho.
