UNkulunkulu waphakade uyisiphephelo sabantu bakhe
Kumholi wokuhlabelela; kuJeduthuni*; elika-Asafa; ihubo
1Izwi lami ngiyakuliphakamisela kuNkulunkulu,
ngikhale kuNkulunkulu ukuba angibekele indlebe.
2Osukwini losizi lwami ngiyayifuna iNkosi;
ebusuku isandla sami seluliwe, asidangali;
umphefumulo wami wala ukududuzwa.
3Ngiyamkhumbula uNkulunkulu ngibubula;
ngiyazindla, umoya wami uyaphela amandla. Sela*.
4Uzibambile izinkophe zamehlo ami, angavaleki;
ngikhathazekile, angisakwazi ukukhuluma.
5Ngiyazindla ngezinsuku zasendulo,
ngeminyaka yaphakade.
6Ebusuku ngiyakhumbula ukubetha kwami ugubhu,
ngizindla enhliziyweni yami;
nomoya wami uyahlolisisa.
7INkosi iyakulahla kuze kube-phakade na?
Ayisenakuphinda ibe-nomusa na?
8Umusa wayo unqamukile njalo yini na?
Isithembiso siphelile yini ezizukulwaneni ngezizukulwane na?
9UNkulunkulu ukhohliwe ukuba abenomusa na?
Uvalele ububele bakhe ngolaka na? Sela*.
10Ngase ngithi: Yilokhu ukuhlupheka kwami,
ngokuba isandla sokunene soPhezukonke siphendukile.
11Ngiyakukhumbula izenzo zikaJehova,
yebo, ngikhumbule izimangaliso zasendulo,
12ngicabange ngawo wonke umsebenzi wakho,
ngizindle ngezenzo zakho.
13Indlela yakho, Nkulunkulu, isebungcweleni;
ngubani ongunkulunkulu omkhulu njengoNkulunkulu na?
14Wena unguNkulunkulu owenza izimangaliso;
amandla akho wazisile ezizweni.
15Ngengalo yamandla wasindisa abantu bakho,
amadodana kaJakobe noJosefa. Sela*.
16Amanzi akubona, Nkulunkulu,
amanzi akubona, athuthumela,
nezintwa zazamazama.
17Amafu athela amanzi,
izulu laduma,
imicibisholo yakho yaphuma.
18Izwi lokuduma kwakho lalisesivungu-vungwini;
imibani yakhanyisa izwe;
umhlaba wadikizela, wazamazama.
19Indlela yakho yayiselwandle,
nomendo wakho wawusemanzini amaningi,
kodwa izinyathelo zakho zazingaziwa.
20Wahola abantu bakho njengezimvu
ngesandla sikaMose noAroni.
