Ihubo Lohluphekileyo Nendumiso KuNkulunkulu
Kumholi wokuhlabelela. Indlela: indluzelekazi yokusa. Ihubo likaDavide
1Nkulunkulu wami,
Nkulunkulu wami,
ungishiyeleni na?
Ukude namazwi
okububula kwami
nokusindiswa kwami.
2Nkulunkulu wami,
ngikhala emini,
kepha awuphenduli,
nasebusuku, ngingabi nakuthula.
3Kepha Wena ungoNgcwele,
uhlezi ezibongweni zika-Israyeli.
4Okhokho bethu bethembela kuwe;
bakwethemba, Wena wabakhulula.
5Bakhala kuwe, bakhululwa;
bethembela kuwe, abaze bajabha.
6Kepha mina angisemuntu,
ngiyimpethu nje;
ngiyisigcono sabantu,
nendelelo ezizweni.
7Bonke abangibonayo bayangibhinqa,
banginkonkozele,
banikine amakhanda,
8basho nokusho bathi:
“Makabeke indaba yakhe kuSimakade;
Yena makamkhulule.
Makamsindise ngoba uthokozile ngaye!”
9Nguwe owangihlenga esibelethweni ngaze ngazalwa,
wangikhoselisa, ngavikeleka esifubeni sikamame.
10Nganikelwa kuwe kwasekuzalweni kwami;
nguwe owaba nguNkulunkulu wami.
11Ungabi kude nami,
ngokuba inhlupheko iseduze,
akekho ongisizayo.
12Ngihaqwe yizinkunzi zaseBhashani
eziningi, ezinamandla, zingizungezile.
13Zingikhamisele imilomo yazo
njengebhubesi elibhodlayo nelidwengulayo.
14Ngichithiwe njengamanzi;
kuxega wonke amalungu ami.
Inhliziyo yami incibilika
njengengcina ezibilini zami.
15Umlomo wami wome njengodengezi,
ulimi lunamathele olwangeni;
ungilalise othulini lokufa.
16Ngokuba izinja zingihaqile,
umgwamanda wabenzi bokubi ungizungezile.
Izandla nezinyawo zami bazibhobozile.
17Sengingawabala wonke amathambo ami.
Bangigqolozela, beklibhiza.
18Behlukaniselana ngezingubo zami,
benza unkatho ngesembatho sami.
19Kepha Wena Simakade, mawungabi kude,
Wena mandla ami, shesha ungisize.
20Hlenga umphefumulo wami enkembeni,
impilo yami, esidladleni senja.
21Ngisindise emlonyeni webhubesi,
nasezimpondweni zenyathi; uyangiphendula.
22Ngiyomemezela ngegama lakho kubafowethu,
ngikudumise phakathi kwebandla.
23Nina enesaba uSimakade, mdumiseni!
Nina nonke, bozalo lukaJakobe,
mdumiseni,
nani nonke, bozalo luka-Israyeli,
nimesabe,
24ngokuba akamedelelanga,
akanengwanga yinhlupheko yohlushwayo.
Akamfihlelanga ubuso bakhe,
kodwa wamuzwa ngesikhathi enxusa.
25Ukudumisa kwami kuyakuvela kuwe
ebandleni elikhulu,
izithembiso zami ngiyozifeza
phambi kwalabo abamesabayo.
26Abahluphekayo bayokudla, basuthe;
labo abamfunayo uSimakade, bayomdumisa.
Sengathi izinhliziyo zenu
zingaphila ingunaphakade.
27Yonke imikhawulo yomhlaba iyokhumbula,
bese iphendukela kuSimakade,
nayo yonke imindeni yezizwe
iyokhothama phambi kwakho;
28ngokuba umbuso ungokaSimakade;
nguye obusa izizwe.
29Bonke abomhlaba abacebileyo bayokudla, badumise,
nalabo asebewuthuli othulini,
bayokhothama phambi kwakhe,
ngisho nalowo ongenakuwugcina
umphefumulo wakhe uphilile.
30Izizukulwane ziyomkhonza,
kulandwe ngayo iNkosi
isizukulwane ngesizukulwane.
31Bayokuza bamemezele ngokulunga kwayo
kubantu abasazozalwa,
babatshele ukuthi lokho kwenziwa yiyo.
