Sihlabelelo 101
Setsembiso sekuhamba ngendlela lecotfo
Sihlabelelo saDavide.
1Ngiyawuhlabela kuwe, Simakadze,
ngibonge umusa wakho
nebuhle bakho
bekungakhetsi bala.
2Angicaphelisise kuhamba ngendlela yebucotfo.
Uyawuze ufike nini kimi?
Ngiyawuhamba ngimsulwa endlini yami.
3Ngingeke ngitimisele kwenta lokubi.
Ngiyayenyanya imisebenti
yalabahlubuka Nkulunkulu,
futsi ngingeke ngihambisane nayo.
4Inhlitiyo lesigwegwe ayisuke kimi,
ngingakwenti lokubi.
5Lowo lohleba makhelwane wakhe emasitseleni
mine ngiyawumcitsa.
Lowo lonemehlo lachoshile
nenhlitiyo letigcabhako
angihambisani naye.
6Ngiyabanconota labo
labetsembeke kuNkulunkulu, kulelive,
kutsi bangahlala nami.
Lowo lohamba ngendlela yebucotfo
angaba yinceku yami.
7Umuntfu lonemacebo
ngeke ngimvumele ahlale endlini yami.
Wonkhe umuntfu localemanga
ngingeke ngimbeketelele.
8Kusa ngekusa, ngiyawubabhubhisa
ngibabulale bonkhe lababi eveni,
kuze ngibacotfule bonkhe lababi
bangabikho ekhaya laSimakadze.
