Kumholi wokuhlabelela. Indlela: ukufa kwendodana. Ihubo likaDavide
1Ngiyakumbonga uSimakade ngenhliziyo yami yonke;

6Izitha ziphelile, zabhujiswa,
wayisiphula imizi yazo, kwaphela nya
ukukhunjulwa kwazo.
7USimakade umi kuze kube phakade;

Simakade awubalahli labo abakufunayo.

12Ungumphindiseli, uyabakhumbula, akabakhohlwa
abahluphekileyo nabathobekile,
akakukhohlwa ukukhala kwabo.
13Yiba nesihawu kimi, Simakade.

Nguwe ongiphakamisa ngilengela egodini lokufa,
14ukuze ngilande ngalo lonke udumo lwakho,
ngilande ngemisebenzi yakho;
emasangweni endodakazi yaseZiyoni,
ngithokoze ngokungisindisa kwakho.
15Abezizwe baphonseke phansi
emgodini abawumbileyo,
unyawo lwabo lwabhajwa
enethini abangifihlele lona.
16USimakade uzibonakalisile,
wenzile ukwehlulela ngezandla zakhe,
ngokucekela phansi ababi. Sela
17Izikhohlakali ziyakubuyela endaweni yabafileyo,

aliyukunyamalala phakade.
19Vuka, Simakade!
Ungavumi ukuqonelwa ngabantu.
Izizwe mazehlulelwe phambi kwakho.
20Bathele ngovalo, Simakade,
ukuze izizwe zazi
ukuthi zingabantu nje. Sela
