UNkulunkulu uyisiphephelo sethu
Kumholi wokuhlabelela. KuJeduthuni.* Ihubo likaDavide.
1Umphefumulo wami uzithulele kuNkulunkulu kuphela;
insindiso yami ivela kuye.
2Nguye kuphela oyidwala lami nensindiso yami, inqaba yami;
angiyikunyakaziswa kakhulu.
3Koze kube nini nisukela umuntu
ukuba nimbulale nonke
njengodonga olwengemeyo
nothango oludilikayo na?
4Yebo, bathunga icebo lokumwisa ekuphakameni kwakhe,
bathanda amanga;
bayabusisa ngomlomo wabo,
kepha ezibilinini zabo bayaqalekisa. Sela*
5Mphefumulo wami,
zithulisele kuNkulunkulu kuphela,
ngokuba ithemba lami livela kuye.
6Nguye kuphela oyidwala lami nensindiso yami,
inqaba yami; angiyikunyakaziswa.
7Insindiso yami nodumo lwami kukuNkulunkulu;
idwala lami eliqinileyo nesiphephelo sami kukuNkulunkulu.
8Thembani kuye ngezikhathi zonke nina bantu,
nithulule inhliziyo yenu phambi kwakhe;
uNkulunkulu uyisiphephelo sethu. Sela*
9Abantwana babantu bangumoya nje,
abantwana bezikhulu bangamanga;
esilinganisweni bayakhuphuka,
balula kunomoya bonke.
10Maningakwethembi ukuqhwaga,
ningazigabisi ngokuphangiweyo;
uma imfuyo yanda,
ningayibeki inhliziyo kuyo.
11UNkulunkulu ukhulumile kanye,
ngikuzwe kabili
ukuthi amandla angakaNkulunkulu.
12Nomusa ungowakho, Nkosi;
ngokuba wena umphindisela umuntu
njengokwenza kwakhe.
