1WAZA u‐Davide wawateta kuyehova amazwi eliculo, ngomhla uyehova wamsindisayo esandleni sazo zonke intshaba zake, nasesandleni sika‐Saule: 2wayesiti:
Uyehova uliliwa lam, nenqaba yam, nomkululi wam; 3utixo wam, ilityekazi lam; ndiya kutembela kuye: ikaka lam, nopondo lwosindiswa lwam, ihlati lam, nendawo yokupepela yam, umsindisi wam; uyandisindisa wena ebudlwengwini. 4Ndobiza kuyehova, odumisekayo; ndandiya kusindiswa ezintshabeni zam.
5Ngokuba amaza okufa ebendiṙaula; imisinga yobunginingini yandoyikisa: 6intambo zehadesi zandingqonga; imigibe yokufa yandipangela; 7ebunzimeni bam ndabiza kuyehova, ndabiza kutixo wam; waza weva ilizwi lam esetempileni yake, nokukala kwam kweza ezindlebeni zake. 8Wandula umhlaba wazamazama, wangcangcazela; amasekwa ezulu ashukuma, azamazama, ngokuba ebequmbile. 9Kwenyuka umsi ezimpumlweni zake, nomlilo uvela emlonyeni wake wadla; amalahle avuta ngawo. 10Wagoba izulu, wehla; sasitokotoko pantsi kwenyawo zake. 11Wakwela pezu kwekerubime, wapapazela; wabonakala pezu kwamapiko omoya. 12Ubumnyama wabenza intente ngento emngqongayo, intlanganiso yamanzi, amafu abungqingwa ezulu. 13Ngenkazimlo epambi kwake avuta amalahle omlilo. 14Uyehova wadudumisa ezulwini; opezu konke wanika ilizwi lake. 15Watuma intolo, wabacita; nemibane, wabapitizelisa. 16Kwandula kwabonakala amazantsi olwandle, atyileka amasekwa omhlaba, ngokutetisa kukayehova, ngokuquta kwomoya wempumlo zake. 17Wasusa pezulu, wanditabata; wandir̔ola emanzini amaninzi; 18wandisindisa elutshabeni lwam olunamandla; nakwabo banditiyayo, ngokuba bebendidlula ngamandla. 19Bandipangela ngomhla wengozi yam; kodwa uyehova ebesisixaso kum. 20Wandipumisela endaweni ebanzi, wandikulula, ngokuba ebekoliswa ndim.
21Uyehova wandivuza njengobulungisa bam; njengobumhlope bezandla zam wandibuyekezela. 22Ngokuba ndizigcinile indlela zikayehova, ndandingemkanga ngenkohlakalo kutixo wam. 23Ngokuba zonke izigwebo zake zibe zipambi kwam; nemimiso yake andipambukanga kuyo. 24Bendilungisekile pambi kwake, ndandizibamba enkohlakalweni yam: 25ngako uyehova undibuyekezele njengobulungisa bam, njengobumhlope bam pambi kwamehlo ake. 26Konobubele uyazibonakalisa unobubele; kwindoda elungisekile uyazibonakalisa ulungisekile; 27komsulwa uyazibonakalisa umsulwa; nakogwenxa uyazibonakalisa ugwenxa. 28Kanjalo abantu ababandezelweyo uyabasindisa; kodwa amehlo ako angakubo abaner̔atshi, ukuba ubatobise.
29Ngokuba wena usisibane sam, Yehova! uyehova uyakanyisa ubumnyama bam. 30Ngokuba ngawe ndiliwele ibandla; ngotixo wam ndigqitile eludongeni. 31Utixo indlela yake ifezekile ukulunga; ilizwi likayehova licocekile: ulikaka yena kubo bonke abatembela kuye. 32Ngokuba ngubanina ongutixo ngapandle kwoyehova? ngubanina olilityekazi ngapandle kwotixo wetu? 33Utixo uyinqaba yam yamandla; uyamalatisa olungisekileyo indlela yake. 34Uyenza inyawo zam zibe njengezamaxamakazi; uyandimisa ezinyangweni zam. 35Uyafundisa izandla zam ukulwa, side sityedwe isipeta sexina ngengalo zam. 36Undipile ikaka losindiso lwako; ukululama kwako kundenze mkulu. 37Wabusenza banzi ukunyatela kwam pantsi kwam; ati amaqata am akahexa. 38Ndaputuma intshaba zam, ndazitshabalalisa; andabuya ndada ndazigqibela. 39Ndazigqibela, ndazityumza, azabuya zivuke; zawa pantsi kwenyawo zam. 40Ngokuba ubundibinqela ukulwa ngamandla; ubatobisile pantsi kwam abo babevuka ngakum: 41wandinika umhlana wentshaba zam, ndize ndibapelise abanditiyayo. 42Bakangela, kodwa bekungeko osindisayo; kwa kuyehova, kodwa akabapendula. 43Ndaza ndabacolekisa njengotuli lwomhlaba; ndabanqusha njengenkunkuma yesitarate, ndabangqisha. 44Kanjalo undikulule emapikeni abantu bam, wandigcina ndibe yintloko yentlanga; abantu endingabazanga bayandikonza. 45Abasemzini bayazenzisa kum; ngokuva kwendlebe bayapulapula kum. 46Abasemzini bayasinya, bayabinqa bapume ezinqatyeni zabo.
47Uyehova uhleli; malibongwe ilityekazi lam; makadunyiswe utixo wam, ilityekazi losindiswa lwam. 48Ngutixo ondenzela impindezelo, oweyelisa abantu pantsi kwam, 49ondipumisa ezintshabeni zam: wena undipakamisele ngapezulu kwabo bavuka ngakum; undikulule emntwini wobudlwengu. 50Ngako oko ndobulela kuwe, Yehova! pakati kwabaheyideni, ndicule egameni lako: 51owandisa intsindiswa zokumkani wake; owenza ububele kumtanjiswa wake, ku‐Davide, nakuyo inzalo yake kude kube ngunapakade.
