Ihubo 54
Umkhuleko wocela ukusindiswa ezitheni
Kumholi wokuhlabelela. Ngogubhu. IMaskili* likaDavide ekufikeni kwabaseZifi bethi kuSawule: “UDavide ucashile kithina.”
1Nkulunkulu, ngisindise ngegama lakho,
ngahlulele ngamandla akho.
2Nkulunkulu, yizwa umkhuleko wami,
ubeke indlebe emazwini omlomo wami.
3Ngokuba abafo bangivukele;
izidlova zifuna umphefumulo wami;
azimbekile uNkulunkulu phambi kwazo. Sela*
4Bheka, uNkulunkulu ungumsizi wami;
iNkosi ikubo abaphasa umphefumulo wami.
5Uyabuyisela okubi ezitheni zami;
zibhubhise ngokweqiniso lakho.
6Ngizakunikela kuwe ngesihle;
ngizakulibonga igama lakho, Jehova,
ngokuba lihle.
7Ngokuba ungikhululile ekuhluphekeni konke;
neso lami libuka izitha zami, lidele.
