Umkhuleko wokulondolozwa
Kumholi wokuhlabelela. Ihubo likaDavide.
1Ngikhulule, Jehova, kumuntu omubi,
ngilondoloze kumuntu oyisidlwangudlwangu.
2Baceba okubi enhliziyweni yabo;
izinsuku zonke baviva impi.
3Bayalola ulimi lwabo njengenyoka;
isihlungu samabululu siphansi kwezindebe zabo. Sela*
4Ngilondoloze ezandleni zomubi,
ngilinde kumuntu oyisidlwangudlwangu,
oceba ukukhuba izinyawo zami.
5Abazidlayo bangifihlela ugibe;
ngezintambo bendlala inetha;
eceleni kwendlela bangibekela izihibe. Sela*
6Ngathi kuJehova:
“UnguNkulunkulu wami wena.”
Yizwa, Jehova, izwi lokunxusa kwami.
7Jehova Nkosi yami, mandla ensindiso yami,
uvikela ikhanda lami ngosuku lokulwa.
8Ungazivumeli, Jehova, izifiso zababi;
ungaphumelelisi amacebo abo,
funa baziphakamise. Sela*
9Maqondana nesihlungu sabangizungezayo
mabambozwe ngububi bomlomo wabo.
10Amalahle ashisayo mawawele phezu kwabo;
mabaphonswe emlilweni
nasemigodini ejulileyo,
bangabe besavuka.
11Umuntu wamanga makangamiswa emhlabeni;
ububi mabuzingele umuntu oyisidlwangudlwangu, abhujiswe.
12Ngiyazi ukuthi uJehova uyakumela udaba lohluphekayo
nokufaneleyo kwabampofu.
13Impela abalungileyo bayakubonga igama lakho;
abaqotho bayakuhlala ebusweni bakho.
