Umkhuleko wososizini
Umkhuleko kaDavide.
1Beka indlebe yakho, Jehova, ungiphendule,
ngokuba ngilusizi, ngimpofu.
2Londoloza umphefumulo wami, ngokuba ngingoqotho;
wena Nkulunkulu wami, sindisa inceku yakho ekwethembayo.
3Yiba nomusa kimi, Nkosi,
ngokuba ngikhala kuwe usuku lonke.
4Thokozisa umphefumulo wenceku yakho,
ngokuba kuwena, Nkosi, ngiyawuphakamisela umphefumulo wami.
5Ngokuba wena, Nkosi, umuhle, ungothethelelayo,
unomusa omkhulu kubo bonke abakhala kuwe.
6Jehova, beka indlebe ekukhulekeni kwami,
ulalele izwi lokunxusa kwami.
7Ngosuku losizi lwami ngikhala kuwe,
ngokuba uzakungiphendula.
8Phakathi kwawonkulunkulu akakho onjengawe Nkosi;
akukho okunjengemisebenzi yakho.
9Izizwe ozenzileyo ziyakufika zonke,
zikhuleke phambi kwakho, Nkosi, zidumise igama lakho.
10Ngokuba umkhulu wena,
uyenza izimangaliso,
unguNkulunkulu wena wedwa.
11Ngifundise, Jehova, indlela yakho;
ngiyakuhamba eqinisweni lakho;
yenza inhliziyo yami iqonde ntonye,
yesabe igama lakho.
12Ngiyakukubonga, Nkosi Nkulunkulu
wami, ngenhliziyo yonke yami,
ngidumise igama lakho kuze kube phakade.
13Ngokuba umusa wakho mkhulu phezu kwami,
ukhululile umphefumulo wami endaweni yabafileyo ephansi.
14Nkulunkulu, izideleli zingivukele,
ibandla lezidlwangudlwangu lifuna umphefumulo wami;
azibekanga wena phambi kwazo.
15Kepha wena Nkosi unguNkulunkulu ohawukelayo,
onomusa nokubekezela,
uvame ubumnene nokuthembeka.
16Phendukela kimi, ube nomusa kimi,
uyiphe inceku yakho amandla akho,
usindise indodana yencekukazi yakho.
17Ngenzele isiboniselo sokuhle,
ukuze abangizondayo babone, bajabhe,
ngokuba wena Jehova uyangisiza, uyangiduduza.
