Ukulangazelela ubukhona bakaZimu
1Kumkhaleli; iMaskili lamaKhorarhi.
2Njengehlangumataka ilangazelela amanzi wemilanjana,
ngokunjalo umphefumulwami ulangazelele wena, Zimu.
3Umphefumulwami womele uZimu,
iye, uZimu ophilako.
Ngizakuya nini ngethempelini
ngiyozizwela ubukhona bakaZimu na?
4Ubusuku nemini,
iinyembezi zami zikukudla kwami
ngombana soke isikhathi abantu bathi kimi:
“Njekhona uphi uZimakho?”
5Lezi zizinto engizikhumbulako
lokha nangithulula umphefumulwami:
Ngakhamba newoma, ngaya endlini kaZimu
ngokuhlokoma nokudumisa,
isiqubuthu sagidinga umnyanya.
6Umphefumulwami udaneleni,
uyaluzelani ngaphakathi kwami na?
Angiqalelele kuZimu
ngombana ngizamdumisa godu,
yena omsindisami 7noZimami.
Umphefumulwami udanile!
Ngalokho ngiyakukhumbula
ngisemisukeni yeJordani,
eentabeni zeRherimoni,
esiqongolweni seMitsari.
8Ukuzika kumemeza ukuzika
lapha kuhlokoma khona iimphoroma zakho!
Woke amagagasi namagwimbakho
eqe ngaphezu kwami!
9Emini uSomnini uyaleza ukwethembeka kwakhe,
kuthi ebusuku ingomakhe ibe kimi,
iye, umthandazo kuZimu wepilwami.
10Ngithi kuZimu olidwala lami:
“Ungikhohlweleni na?
Kubayini kufuze ngikhambe ngeenzilo,
ngebanga lokugandelelwa zizitha na?”
11Ukungikhola kwezitha zami
kungihlaba ehliziyweni,
nazisoloko zithi kimi:
“Njekhona uphi uZimakho?”
12Umphefumulwami udaneleni,
uyaluzelani ngaphakathi kwami na?
Angiqalelele kuZimu
ngombana ngizamdumisa godu,
yena omsindisami noZimami.
