Umthandazo wokusindiswa ezitheni
1Kumkhaleli; “Ungatjhabalalisi”; lakaDavida; iMikitamu; lokha uSawula nathumela amadoda kobana agade indlu kaDavida ukuze ambulale.
2Zimami, ngisindisa ezitheni zami,
ungivikele kabangivukelako.
3Ngenyule eengilamkhubeni,
ungisindise ebantwini abomele iingazi.
4Qala, bakhukhuthela ipilwami!
Iingorho ziyangitlhorholoja
kungekho isiphambeko Somnini,
iye, kungekho sono kimi.
5Nanyana nginganacala
zehla zenyuka kobana zizilungiselele.
Sikima Somnini,
uzizele ngokwakho uzokubona!
6Wena unguSomnini, uZimu uMninimandlawoke,
iye, unguZimu wakwa-Israyeli.
Vuka, uhlole zoke izizwe,
ungarhawukeli namunye wabakhohlisi.
7Njalo ngantambana bayabuya,
babethe umule njengezinja,
bazombeleze umuzi.
8Emilonyenabo kugeleza ubukhali,
amezwabo ayisabula elimazako,
bathi: “Ngubani osizwako?”
9Kodwana wena Somnini uyabahleka,
unyefula boke bezizwe.
10Somnini, kuqina kwami,
ngiqale kuwe;
mbala, Zimu, usiphephelo sami.
11UZimu wokwethembela kwami uzangenyela;
iye, uZimu, uzangenza ngiqalele phasi izitha zami.
12Somandla, sihlangu sethu,
ungazibulali izithezo,
ukuze abantu bekhethu bangakukhohlwa.
Zisikinye ngamandlakho,
uzimadlhe phasi!
13Nazivula imilomo, ziyona ngamezwazo.
Nje-ke zenze zibanjwe ekuzikhukhumezeni kwazo,
nangebanga lokuthukana namangazo eziwakhulumako.
14Ziqede ngobukhali bakho!
Ziqede ukuze zingasabakhona!
Khona-ke kuzakwazeka emajukujukwini wephasi
kobana uZimu ubusa kwaJakopo.
15Njalo ngantambama ziyabuya,
zibethe umule njengezinja,
zizombeleze umuzi.
16Zizulazule zifunana nokudla;
lokha nazingakasuthi, ziyakhwabitha.
17Kodwana mina ngizakuvumela phezulu ngamandlakho
nakusako ngihlokome ngokwethembeka kwakho
ngombana wena ube siphephelo sami
nesiviko ngesikhathi sokubandezeleka.
18Wena kuqina kwami,
ngizakukhalelela ingoma
ngombana wena Zimu, usiphephelo sami,
iye, uZimu wokwethembela kwami.
