Ukukhala ngokuhlupheka nokuzingelwa
Kumholi wokuhlabelela; ihubo likaDavide
1Ubusisiwe onakekela ohluphekayo;
uJehova uyakumsindisa osukwini olubi.
2UJehova uyakumlondoloza, amphilise;
uyakubusiswa emhlabeni;
awuyikumnikela entandweni yezitha zakhe.
3UJehova uyakumphasa ecansini egula;
wena uyakuguqula ukhukho lwakhe ekuguleni kwakhe.
4Mina ngithi: Jehova, ngihawukele,
uphulukise umphefumulo wami, ngokuba ngonile kuwe.
5Izitha zami zikhuluma okubi ngami, zithi:
Uzakufa nini, igama lakhe lichitheke, na?
6Nalapho kuza ozongibona, ukhuluma amanga;
inhliziyo yakhe izibuthela ukonakala,
abesephuma akhulume ngakho.
7Bonke abangizondayo banyenyezelana ngami:
bangisongozela okubi, bathi:
8Into embi inamathele kuye;
olele phansi kasayikululama.
9Yebo, nomhlobo wami ebengimethemba,
obedla isinkwa sami, ungiphakamisele isithende sakhe.
10Kepha wena-Jehova, ngihawukele, ungilulamise,
ukuze ngibaphindisele.
11Ngalokho ngiyazi ukuthi uyangithanda,
ngokuba isitha sami asihalalisi phezu kwami.
12Mina uyangimisa ebuqothweni bami;
uyangibeka phambi kobuso bakho kuze kube-phakade.
13Makabongwe uJehova uNkulunkulu kaIsrayeli,
kusukela phakade kuze kube-phakade.
Amen, Amen.
