AMARHUBO 142
Umthandazo wokwethembela kuSomnini
1IMaskili lakaDavida; lokha nagade angemrhobeni; umthandazo.
2Ngirhuwelela uSomnini,
ngelizwi lami ngizincengela kuye.
3Ngithululela ukububula kwami kuye,
ngibika ikingami phambi kwakhe;
4ngithi: “Wena wazi indlelami
lokha ummoyami nawudambileko.
Endleleni lapha ngikhamba khona,
abantu bangifihlele isifu.
5Akhusuthi uqala ngesidleni sami,
akakho noyedwa ongiyelelako;
abukho ubuphephelo kimi,
akakho umuntu ongitjhejako.
6“Ngirhuwelela kuwe Somnini ngithi,
‘Wena usiphephelo sami;
ungikho koke enginakho enarheni yabaphilako.
7Tjheja isililo sami,
ngombana ngithotjiswe khulu.
Ngephule kwabazumana nami,
ngombana banamandla khulu kunami.
8Ngikhuphe ngesikhungweni
ukuze ngidumise ibizo lakho.
Abalungileko bazangizombeleza,
ngombana wena ungiphethe kuhle.’ ”
