Eyesibili EkaSamuyeli
22 UDavida wahlabelela uJehova ingoma le+ ngelanga uJehova amkhulula ngalo esandleni sezitha zakhe+ zonke lasesandleni sikaSawuli.+ 2 Wathi:
“UJehova ulidwala lami lenqaba yami,+ nguye ongikhululayo.+
3 UNkulunkulu wami ulidwala lami+ engicatsha kulo,
Ulihawu lami+ lophondo* lwami lwensindiso* futhi uyindawo yami yokuphephela evikelekileyo,*+
Lendawo engibalekela kuyo,+ ungumsindisi wami+ ongikhulula ebantwini abalodlakela.
4 Ngibiza uJehova onguye ofanele ukudunyiswa,
Ngizakhululwa ezitheni zami.
7 Ngathi ngikhathazekile ngabiza uJehova,+
Ngaqhubeka ngimncenga uNkulunkulu wami.
Wangizwa esethempelini lakhe,
Ukukhala kwami ngicela uncedo kwafika endlebeni zakhe.+
8 Umhlaba waqala ukuzamazama lokunyikinyeka,+
Izisekelo zamazulu zagedezela,+
Zanyikinyeka ngenxa yokuthukuthela kwakhe.+
9 Kwathunqa intuthu emakhaleni akhe,
Kwaphuma umlilo ovuthayo emlonyeni wakhe,+
Kwakhihlika lamalahle avuthayo kuye.
12 Wasezembesa ngobumnyama baba litende lakhe,+
Emanzini amnyama lasemayezini amnyama tshu!
13 Ekukhanyeni okwakuphambi kwakhe kwakulamalahle avuthayo.
16 UJehova wakhwaza izisekelo zomhlaba zavela egcekeni,+
Kwabonakala itshebetshebe engaphansi kolwandle,
Ngenxa yomoya olamandla ophuma emakhaleni akhe.+
17 Wangilalamela ekhonale phezulu,
Wangibamba wangikhipha emanzini atshonayo.+
18 Wangikhulula ezitheni zami ezilamandla,+
Kulabo abangizondayo ababelamandla kulami.
19 Bangihlasela mhla ngisebunzimeni,+
Kodwa uJehova wayelami.
22 Ngizilandele izindlela zikaJehova,
Njalo angizange ngimtshiye uNkulunkulu wami ngenze okubi.
25 Kwangathi uJehova anganginika umvuzo ohambelana lokulunga kwami+
Kanye lobumsulwa bami phambi kwakhe.+
29 Awu Jehova, uyisibane sami!+
UJehova nguye ongikhanyiselayo nxa ngisemnyameni.+
30 Nxa ngincediswa nguwe ngingalwa lamabutho ahlaselayo,
Ngamandla engiwaphiwa nguNkulunkulu ngingakhwela umduli.+
31 Indlela kaNkulunkulu weqiniso iphelele,+
Amazwi kaJehova acengekile.+
Ulihawu labo bonke abaphephela kuye.+
32 Ngubani omunye uNkulunkulu ngaphandle kukaJehova?+
Ngubani olidwala ngaphandle kukaNkulunkulu wethu?+
35 Ungiqeqetshela impi,
Izandla zami zingaligobisa idandili* elenziwe ngekhopha.
37 Indlela yami uyayiqhelisa,
Inyawo zami azisoze zitshelele.+
38 Izitha zami ngizazixotshanisa ngizitshaye ngizibhuqe,
Angisoze ngiphenduke ngingaziqedanga zonke.
39 Zizawela phansi ngizinyathele,
Ngizazithanyela ziphele du, ngizichoboze zingaphindi zivuke.+
42 Bakhalela uncedo kodwa akulamuntu obasizayo,
Baze bakhale lakuJehova kodwa kabaphenduli.+
43 Ngizabachola babe njengothuli lomhlabathi,
Ngizabagxoba ngibanyathenyathele njengodaka olusemgwaqweni.
44 Wena uzangikhulula ebantwini bami abangibeka icala.+
Uzangivikela ukuze ngibe ngumkhokheli wezizwe,+
Abantu engingabaziyo bazangisebenzela.+
45 Abezinye izizwe bazabuya kimi betshotshobele.+
Lokho abazakuzwa ngami kuzakwenza bangilalele.
46 Abezinye izizwe bazakwesaba,
Baphume ezinqabeni zabo babuye kimi beqhaqhazela.
47 UJehova uyaphila! Kalidunyiswe iDwala lami!+
Kaphakanyiswe uNkulunkulu olidwala lami futhi ongisindisayo.+
49 Uyangikhulula ezitheni zami.
50 Yikho ngizakubonga phakathi kwezizwe, awu Jehova!+
Ngizahlabela ngidumisa ibizo lakho.+
