Ukwahlulela kukaNkulunkulu

Kumholi wokuhlabelela. Indlela: Ukufa kwendodana. Ihubo likaDavide.

1 Ngiyakumbonga uJehova ngayo yonke inhliziyo yami;

ngiyakulanda zonke izimangaliso zakho.

2 Ngiyakujabula, ngethabe kuwe;

ngiyakudumisa igama lakho wena oPhezukonke,

3 ngokuba izitha zami zibuyela emuva,

ziwa, zibhubha ebusweni bakho,

4 ngokuba ulimelele ilungelo lami nendaba yami,

uhlezi esihlalweni sobukhosi, ungumahluleli olungileyo.

5 Ujezisile abezizwe, wabhubhisa ababi;

igama labo ulesulile kuze kube phakade naphakade.

6 Izitha ziphelile, zachitheka kuze kube phakade;

imizi wayisimbula,

ukukhunjulwa kwayo kwaphela nya.

7 UJehova uyabusa kuze kube phakade;

isihlalo sakhe sobukhosi usimisela ukwahlulela;

8 umhlaba uyakuwahlulela ngokulunga,

athethe amacala ezizwe ngobuqotho.

9 UJehova uyinqaba yocindezelweyo,

uyinqaba ezikhathini zokuhlupheka.

10 Nabalaziyo igama lakho bayakwethemba wena;

ngokuba wena Jehova awubashiyi abakufunayo.

11 Hubani nimdumise uJehova ohlezi eSiyoni;

memezelani ezizweni izenzo zakhe ezinkulu.

12 Ngokuba yena ophindisela igazi uyabakhumbula abahluphekayo;

akakhohlwa ukukhala kwabo.

13 Yiba nomusa kimi, Jehova;

kubone engihlupheka ngakho ngabangizondayo

wena ongiphakamisa emasangweni okufa,

14 ukuze ngilande ngalo lonke udumo lwakho,

ngethabe ngokusindisa kwakho

emasangweni endodakazi yaseSiyoni.

15 Abezizwe bashone phansi egebeni abalenzileyo;

unyawo lwabo lubhajwe esihibeni abasifihlileyo.

16 UJehova uzazisile, wahlulela;

umcuphile omubi emsebenzini wezandla zakhe.Higayoni.* Sela*

17 Ababi bayakubuyela endaweni yabafileyo,

bonke abezizwe abakhohlwa uNkulunkulu.

18 Ngokuba ompofu kayikukhohlakala njalo;

ithemba labahluphekayo aliyikunyamalala kuze kube phakade.

19 Vuka, Jehova!

Mawungavumi ukuba abantu bahlule;

abezizwe mabahlulelwe ebusweni bakho.

20 Mabashaywe luvalo, Jehova;

abezizwe mabazazi ukuthi bangabantu nje.Sela*
