Ubukhulu nokulunga kwakaZimu
1Indumiso kaDavida.
Ngiyakuphakamisa Zimami, wena Somnini,
ngidumisa ibizo lakho nini nanini.
2Imihla ngemihla ngizakudumisa,
ngibabaze ibizo lakho nini nanini.
3USomnini mkhulu, kufuze adunyiswe khulu;
ubukhulu bakhe abuphenyeki.
4Isizukulwana sizakubabaza imisebenzakho kesinye,
simemezele izenzo zakho zamandla.
5Ngizakuzindla ngephazimulo yokuhlonitjhwa
kobukhosi bakho
kanye neemangaliso zakho.
6Abantu bazakumemezela
amandla wokwesabeka kwakho;
nami ngizakufakaza ubukhulu bakho.
7Bazakwendlala idumo lobunengi bobuhle bakho,
bahlokome ngokulunga kwakho,
8bathi: “USomnini unomusa nesirhawu;
ubuthaka ekusilengekeni
nokwethembeka kwakhe kukhulu.
9USomnini ulungile kibo boke
nesisa sakhe sengamele koke akudalileko.”
10Yoke imisebenzakho izakuthokoza, Somnini
nabathembekileko bakho bazakubabaza.
11Bazakhuluma ngephazimulo yombuswakho,
bamemezele izenzo zakho zamandla,
12bazise abantu izenzo zakho zamandla
nokuhlonitjhwa kwephazimulo yombuswakho.
13Umbuswakho, umbuso wesiphelani
nokubusa kwakho kuhlezi iinzukulwana zoke.
USomnini uthembekile emezwinakhe woke
nezenzweni zakhe zoke unesisa.
14Boke abawako uSomnini uyababamba,
aphakamise boke abathotjisiweko.
15Woke amehlo aqalelele kuwe
begodu ubapha ukudla ngesikhathi esifaneleko.
16Uvula izandla zakho,
wanelise iimfiso
zakho koke okuphilako.
17USomnini ulungile eendleleni zakhe zoke,
unesisa kikho koke akwenzako.
18USomnini useduze nabo boke abambizako,
iye, boke abambiza ngeqiniso.
19Uzalisa iimfiso zabo boke abamesabako,
alalele isililo sabo abasindise.
20USomnini ulonda boke abamkhathalelako,
kodwana uzakubhubhisa zoke iinkhohlakali.
21Umlomami uzakukhuluma idumo lakaSomnini
nenyama yoke izakudumisa ibizo lakhe elicwengileko
nini nanini.
