AMAHUBO 13
Umkhuleko wocela ukusizwa ekuhluphekeni
Kumholi wokuhlabelela; ihubo likaDavide
1Koze kube-nini, Jehova, ungikhohlwa njalonjalo na?
Koze kube-nini usitheza ubuso bakho kimi na?
2Koze kube-nini ngikhathazeka emphefumulweni wami,
nginosizi enhliziyweni yami usuku lonke, na?
Koze kube-nini isitha sami siziphakamisa phezu kwami na?
3Bheka neno, ungiphendule, Jehova Nkulunkulu wami;
khanyisa amehlo ami, ngize ngingalali ubuthongo bokufa,
4ukuze isitha sami singasho ukuthi: Ngimahlulile,
funa abamelene nami bethabe lapha ngintengayo.
5Kepha ngiwuthembile umusa wakho;
inhliziyo yami inakwethaba ngensindiso yakho;
6ngizakuhlabelela kuJehova,
ngokuba ungenzele okuhle.
