Umkhuleko wongcwele kaNkulunkulu
IMiktamu* likaDavide
1Ngilondoloze, Nkulunkulu, ngokuba ngiyaphephela kuwe.
2Ngithi kuJehova: Wena uyiNkosi yami;
anginakho okuhle ngaphandle kwakho.
3Abangcwele abasemhlabeni,
abayizikhulu, yonke intokozo yami ikubona.
4Ziningi izinhlupheko zabazizuzela omunye unkulunkulu;
angiyikunikela ngeminikelo yabo yegazi;
angiyikuwaphatha amagama abo ngezindebe zami.
5UJehova uyisabelo esahlukaniselwe mina, nendebe yami;
wena uqinisa ifa lami.
6Izabelo zingehlele ezindaweni ezinhle,
yebo, nginalo ifa elihle.
7Ngiyakumbonga uJehova ongilulekayo;
nasebusuku izinso zami ziyangiyala.
8Ngimbeké uJehova njalo phambi kwami,
ngokuba ungakwesokunene sami, angiyikuzanyazanyiswa.
9Ngakho-ke inhliziyo yami iyajabula, nomphefumulo wami uyethaba,
nenyama yami iyakuhlala ngokwethemba.
10Ngokuba awuyikunikela umphefumulo wami endaweni yabafileyo;
awuyikuvuma ukuba ongcwele wakho abone ukubola.
11Uyakungazisa indlela yokuphila;
ukugcwala kwenjabulo kusebusweni bakho;
intokozo isesandleni sakho sokunene kuze kube-phakade.
