UNkulunkulu waphakade uyisiphephelo sabantu bakhe
Kumholi wokuhlabelela. KuJeduthuni.* Elika-Asafa. Ihubo.
1Izwi lami ngiyakuliphakamisela kuNkulunkulu,
ngikhale kuNkulunkulu ukuba angibekele indlebe.
2Osukwini losizi lwami ngiyayifuna iNkosi;
ebusuku isandla sami seluliwe, asidangali;
umphefumulo wami wala ukududuzwa.
3Ngiyamkhumbula uNkulunkulu ngibubula;
ngiyazindla, umoya wami uyaphela amandla. Sela*
4Uzibambile izinkophe zamehlo ami, angavaleki;
ngikhathazekile,
angisakwazi ukukhuluma.
5Ngiyazindla ngezinsuku zasendulo,
ngeminyaka yaphakade.
6Ebusuku ngiyakhumbula ukubetha kwami ugubhu,
ngizindla enhliziyweni yami;
nomoya wami uyahlolisisa.
7INkosi iyakulahla kuze kube phakade na?
Ayisenakuphinda ibe nomusa na?
8Umusa wayo unqamukile njalo yini na?
Isithembiso siphelile yini ezizukulwaneni ngezizukulwane na?
9UNkulunkulu ukhohliwe ukuba abe nomusa na?
Uvalele ububele bakhe ngolaka na? Sela*
10Ngase ngithi:
“Yilokhu ukuhlupheka kwami,
ngokuba isandla sokunene soPhezukonke siphendukile.”
11Ngiyakukhumbula izenzo zikaJehova,
yebo, ngikhumbule izimangaliso zasendulo,
12ngicabange ngawo wonke umsebenzi wakho,
ngizindle ngezenzo zakho.
13Indlela yakho, Nkulunkulu, isebungcweleni;
ngubani ongunkulunkulu omkhulu njengoNkulunkulu na?
14Wena unguNkulunkulu owenza izimangaliso;
amandla akho uwazisile ezizweni.
15Ngengalo yamandla wasindisa abantu bakho,
amadodana kaJakobe noJosefa. Sela*
16Amanzi akubona, Nkulunkulu,
amanzi akubona, athuthumela,
nezintwa zazamazama.
17Amafu athela amanzi,
izulu laduma,
imicibisholo yakho yaphuma.
18Izwi lokuduma kwakho lalisesivunguvungwini;
imibani yakhanyisa izwe;
umhlaba wadikizela, wazamazama.
19Indlela yakho yayiselwandle,
nomendo wakho wawusemanzini amaningi,
kodwa izinyathelo zakho zazingaziwa.
20Wahola abantu bakho njengezimvu ngesandla sikaMose no-Aroni.
