Ihubo 75
Umahluleli wezwe nesitsha sakhe sentukuthelo
Kumholi wokuhlabelela. Indlela: Ungachithi. Ihubo lika-Asafa. Igama.
1Siyakubonga, Nkulunkulu, siyabonga;
igama lakho liseduze;
balanda izimangaliso zakho.
2Lapho ngiyakugcina isikhathi esimisiweyo,
ngiyakwahlulela ngokulunga.
3Umhlaba uyancibilika nabo bonke abakhe kuwo;
mina ngimisile izinsika zawo. Sela*
4Ngithe kwabazidlayo: “Ningazidli,”
nakwababi: “Ningaphakamisi uphondo.
5Ningaluphakamiseli phezulu uphondo lwenu,
ningajoqi ngentamo elukhuni.”
6Ngokuba ukuphakanyiswa akuveli empumalanga
nasentshonalanga nasehlane lasezintabeni,
7kepha uNkulunkulu ungumahluleli;
omunye uyamehlisa,
omunye amphakamise.
8Ngokuba esandleni seNkosi kukhona isitsha;
iwayini liyakhephuza;
sigcwele ngeliqungiweyo,
yona iyathulula ngaso;
impela bonke ababi emhlabeni bayakuyimunca inhleze yalo,
bayiphuze.
9Kepha mina ngiyakumemezela ngakho kuze kube phakade,
ngidumise uNkulunkulu kaJakobe.
10Zonke izimpondo zababi ngiyakuzinquma;
kepha izimpondo zolungileyo ziyakuphakanyiswa.
