Ukukhala ngokuhlupheka nokuzingelwa
Kumholi wokuhlabelela. Ihubo likaDavide.
1Ubusisiwe onakekela ohluphekayo;
uJehova uyakumsindisa osukwini olubi.
2UJehova uyakumlondoloza, amphilise;
uyakubusiswa emhlabeni;
awuyikumnikela entandweni yezitha zakhe.
3UJehova uyakumphasa ecansini egula;
wena uyakuguqula ukhukho lwakhe ekuguleni kwakhe.
4Mina ngithi: “Jehova, ngihawukele,
uphulukise umphefumulo wami, ngokuba ngonile kuwe.”
5Izitha zami zikhuluma okubi ngami, zithi:
“Uzakufa nini, igama lakhe lichitheke, na?”
6Nalapho kuza ozongibona,
ukhuluma amanga;
inhliziyo yakhe izibuthela ukonakala,
abesephuma akhulume ngakho.
7Bonke abangizondayo banyenyezelana ngami:
bangisongozela okubi, bathi:
8“Into embi inamathele kuye;
olele phansi kasayikululama.”
9Yebo, nomhlobo wami ebengimethemba,
obedla isinkwa sami,
ungiphakamisele isithende sakhe.
10Kepha wena Jehova, ngihawukele, ungilulamise,
ukuze ngibaphindisele.
11Ngalokho ngiyazi ukuthi uyangithanda,
ngokuba isitha sami asihalalisi phezu kwami.
12Mina uyangimisa ebuqothweni bami;
uyangibeka phambi kobuso bakho kuze kube phakade.
13Makabongwe uJehova uNkulunkulu ka-Israyeli,
kusukela phakade kuze kube phakade.
Amen, Amen.
