IHubo
Ihubo likaDavida.
א [Aleph]
2 Bazaswaba masinyane njengotshani,+
Babune njengotshani obuluhlaza.
ב [Beth]
4 Thokoza kakhulu ngenxa kaJehova,
Yena uzakupha lokho okufisayo.
ג [Gimel]
6 Uzakwenza ukulunga kwakho kukhazimule njengelanga liphuma,
Enze lezinto ezinhle ozenzayo zikhanye njengelanga emini.
ד [Daleth]
7 Thula phambi kukaJehova,+
Umlindele ngesineke.
Ungamzondeli umuntu omubi
Nxa ephumelela ukwenza akucabangileyo.+
ה [He]
8 Yekela ukuzonda, utshiye ulaka.+
Ungacaphuki ucine ususenza okubi,*
9 Ngoba abantu abenza okubi bazatshabalaliswa,+
Kodwa labo abathemba uJehova bazakudla ilifa lomhlaba.+
ה [Waw]
10 Sekusele isikhathi esincane nje ukuthi ababi babe bengasekho.+
Uzakuthi ukhangela lapho ababekhona,
Ubone bengasekho.+
11 Kodwa abathobekileyo* bazakudla ilifa lomhlaba.+
Bazathokoza kakhulu ngoba kuyabe sekulokuthula okukhulu.+
ז [Zayin]
13 Kodwa uJehova uzamhleka
Ngoba uyakwazi ukuthi usuku lokubhujiswa kwakhe luzafika.+
ח [Heth]
14 Ababi bakhokha inkemba zabo lemitshoko yabo
Ukuze bamlahle phansi ocindezelwayo lodubekayo,
Babulale abalungileyo.
15 Kodwa inkemba zabo zizagwaza bona enhliziyweni.+
Lamadandili* abo azakwephuka.
ט [Teth]
16 Kungcono okulutshwana okomuntu olungileyo,
Kulokunengi okomuntu omubi,+
17 Ngoba izingalo zomuntu omubi zizakwephulwa,
Kodwa uJehova uzamsekela umuntu olungileyo.
י [Yod]
18 UJehova uyabubona ubunzima obehlela abantu abalungileyo.
Ilifa labo lizahlala kuze kube phakade.+
19 Abasoze bayangiswe ngezikhathi ezinzima,
Langesikhathi sendlala bazabe belokudla okunengi.
כ [Kaph]
20 Kodwa abantu ababi bazatshabalala,+
Izitha zikaJehova zizanyamalala njengamadlelo amahle,
Zizanyamalala njengentuthu.
ל [Lamed]
21 Umuntu omubi uboleka angabuyiseli,
Kodwa umuntu olungileyo ulomusa futhi uyaphana.+
22 Labo ababusiswe nguNkulunkulu bazakudla ilifa lomhlaba,
Kodwa labo abathukwe nguye bazasuswa.+
מ [Mem]
נ [Nun]
25 Ngangimncane, khathesi sengimdala,
Kodwa angikaze ngibone olungileyo elahliwe,+
Loba abantwabakhe beswele ukudla.+
26 Ubolekisa ngesihle.+
Abantwabakhe bazathola izibusiso.
ס [Samekh]
27 Balekela okubi wenze okuhle,+
Ungenza njalo uzaphila kuze kube nini lanini,
28 Ngoba uJehova uthanda ukwahlulela okuhle,
Kasoze abalahle abaqotho kuye.+
ע [Ayin]
פ [Pe]
30 Umlomo womuntu olungileyo ukhuluma amazwi okuhlakanipha,
Ulimi lwakhe lukhuluma okulungileyo.+
צ [Tsade]
32 Omubi ucathamela umuntu olungileyo
Efuna ukumbulala.
ק [Qoph]
34 Themba uJehova uhambe endleleni yakhe,
Uzakubusisa akunike ilifa lomhlaba.
Wena uzakubona lokhu+ nxa ababi sebesusiwe.+
ר [Resh]
35 Ngake ngabona umuntu ololunya
Ephumelela njengesihlahla esikhula kuhle emhlabathini waso.+
36 Kodwa ngesikhatshana nje wayengasekho esefile.+
Ngaqhubeka ngimdinga kodwa angizange ngimthole.+
ש [Shin]
37 Nanzelela umuntu ongelasici,
Uqhubeke ukhangele umuntu olungileyo,+
Ngoba ikusasa lakhe lizabe lilokuthula.+
38 Kodwa zonke izoni zizatshabalaliswa,
Abantu abenza okubi bazabhujiswa.+
ת [Taw]
40 UJehova uzabanceda futhi abakhulule.+
Uzabakhulula komubi abasindise
Ngoba baphephela kuye.+
