UJehova ungumlondolozi
1Yena owakhile ekusithekeni koPhezukonke
nohlezi emthunzini kaSomandla
2uthi kuJehova: “Uyisiphephelo sami nenqaba yami
noNkulunkulu wami engimethembayo.”
3Ngokuba yena uyakukhipha ogibeni lomcuphi
nasobhadaneni olubhubhisayo.
4Ngezimpaphe zakhe uyakukusibekela,
uphephele phansi kwamaphiko akhe;
ukuthembeka kwakhe kuyisihlangu nehawu.
5Awuyikwesaba ivuso lasebusuku,
nomcibisholo ondizayo emini,
6nobhadane oluhamba ebumnyameni,
nesifo esibhubhisayo emini enkulu.
7Bayakuwa abayizinkulungwane ngaseceleni kwakho,
nabayizinkulungwane eziyishumi ngakwesokunene sakho,
kepha akuyikufinyelela kuwe.
8Uyakubuka nje ngamehlo akho,
ubone ukuphindiselwa kwababi,
9ngokuba uthi:
Jehova, uyisiphephelo sami;
oPhezukonke umenzile abe yinqaba yakho.
10Awuyikwehlelwa ngokubi,
nesifo asiyikusondela etendeni lakho.
11Ngokuba uyakuyaleza izingelosi zakhe ngawe,
zikulondoloze ezindleleni zakho zonke.
12Ziyakukuthwala ngezandla,
ungaqhuzuki ngonyawo lwakho etsheni.
13Uyakunyathela ingonyama nebululu,
unyathele phansi ibhongo lengonyama nodrako.*
14Ngenxa yokuba enamathele kimi, ngakho ngiyamkhulula;
ngiyamphakamisa ngokuba elazi igama lami.
15Uyakungibiza, ngimphendule;
ngiyakuba naye esosizini,
ngimkhulule, ngimdumise.
16Ngiyakumsuthisa ngobude bezinsuku,
ngimbonise insindiso yami.
