Umkhuleko wocela ukusizwa ekuhluphekeni

Kumholi wokuhlabelela. Ihubo likaDavide.

1 Koze kube nini, Jehova,

ungikhohlwa njalonjalo na?

Koze kube nini

usitheza ubuso bakho kimi na?

2 Koze kube nini

ngikhathazeka emphefumulweni wami,

nginosizi enhliziyweni yami usuku lonke, na?

Koze kube nini

isitha sami siziphakamisa phezu kwami na?

3 Bheka neno, ungiphendule,

Jehova Nkulunkulu wami;

khanyisa amehlo ami,

ngize ngingalali ubuthongo bokufa,

4 ukuze isitha sami singasho ukuthi: “Ngimahlulile,”

funa abamelene nami bethabe lapha ngintengayo.

5 Kepha ngiwuthembile umusa wakho;

inhliziyo yami izakwethaba ngensindiso yakho;

6 ngizakuhlabelela kuJehova,

ngokuba ungenzele okuhle.
