Umkhuleko wocela ukuvikelwa ezitheni

Kumholi wokuhlabelela. Indlela: Ungachithi. ElikaDavide. IMiktamu,* mhla ebalekela uSawule emphandwini.

1 Yiba nomusa kimi, Nkulunkulu;

yiba nomusa kimi.

Ngokuba umphefumulo wami uphephela kuwe;

ngifuna ukukhosela ethunzini lamaphiko akho,

zize zidlule izinhlupheko.

2 Ngizakukhala kuNkulunkulu oPhezukonke,

kuNkulunkulu ongifezelayo.

3 Uyakuthumela esezulwini, angisindise

mhla ofuna ukungigwinya ekloloda.Sela*

UNkulunkulu uyakuthuma umusa wakhe neqiniso lakhe.

4 Umphefumulo wami uphakathi kwezingonyama;

ngilala kwabavutha umlilo,

abantwana babantu abamazinyo abo ayimikhonto nemicibisholo,

abalulimi lwabo luyinkemba ebukhali.

5 Phakama, Nkulunkulu,

phezu kwezulu,

inkazimulo ibe phezu komhlaba wonke.

6 Izinyathelo zami bazibekele ugibe;

umphefumulo wami ugobile;

bembile igebe phambi kwami,

kwakhalakathela bona kulo.Sela*

7 Inhliziyo yami iduduzekile, Nkulunkulu;

inhliziyo yami iduduzekile;

ngizakuhlabelela, ngihube.

8 Vuka, mphefumulo wami;

vukani, lugubhu nehabhu!*

Ngizakuvusa ukusa.

9 Ngizakukubonga, Nkosi,

phakathi kwabantu,

ngikudumise phakathi kwezizwe.

10 Ngokuba umusa wakho mkhulu kuze kube sezulwini,

nokuthembeka kwakho kuze kube semafwini.

11 Phakama, Nkulunkulu,

phezu kwezulu,

inkazimulo yakho ibe phezu komhlaba wonke.
