IZaga
7 Ndodana yami gcina amazwi ami,
Wenze imithetho yami ibe ligugu kuwe.+
3 Bophela izinto lezi eminweni yakho,
Uzibhale enhliziyweni yakho.+
4 Tshela ukuhlakanipha uthi, “Wena ungudadewethu,”
Ubize ukuzwisisa uthi, “Sihlobo sami,”
6 Ngathi ngisewindini endlini yami,
Ngalunguza, ngakhangela phansi,
7 Ngathi ngilokhu ngisakhangele abangelalwazi,
Ngabona phakathi kwabasakhulayo ijaha elingelangqondo.+
8 Ladlula ngomgwaqo, ekhoneni eliseduze kwendlu yakhe,
Liqonda lapho okwakulendlu yakhe khona
9 Kwasekuhwalala, sekusihlwa,+
Sekuqala ukuba mnyama, sekunqunda amehlo.
11 Uliphakaphaka njalo uyisiqholo,+
Uyatshobatshoba, kuyala ukuthi ahlale endlini yakhe.
12 Uyambona phandle, umbone nango sesemagcekeni edolobho,
Uyazimisamisa eduze kwamakhona wonke.+
13 Uyalidumela ijaha aliqabuze;
Akhulume engelalanhloni athi kulo:
14 “Ngiwenzile umhlatshelo wobudlelwano.+
Lamuhla ngizigcwalisile izifungo zami.
15 Yikho ngibuye ukuzokuhlangabeza,
Bengikudinga, sengize ngakuthola!
16 Sengendlale ingubo ezinhle embhedeni wami,
Ilineni yaseGibhithe elemibalabala.+
17 Sengifafaze imure lenhlaba kanye lesinamoni+ embhedeni wami.
18 Woza sikholise uthando lwethu kuze kuse;
Kasihlanyisane ngothando.
19 Phela indoda yami ayikho endlini;
Ithethe uhambo olude.
20 Ihambe lesikhwama semali,
Njalo izaphenduka inyanga isigcwele.”
21 Uyaliyenga ngamazwi, elincenga.+
Alihuge ngamazwi amnandi.
22 Lihle limlandele njengenkunzi esisiyahlatshwa,
Lanjengesithutha esiyajeziswa ngokubotshwa,*+
23 Umtshoko uze uhlabe isibindi salo;
Alikwazi ukuthi elikwenzayo kuzalibulalisa,+ njengenyoni egijimela emjibileni.
24 Ngakho ngilalelani madodana ami,
Lizwe amazwi engiwakhulumayo.
25 Ungavumeli inhliziyo yakho iphambukele ezindleleni zakhe.
Ungahlanhlathi ungene ezindleleni zakhe,+
26 Ngoba usebulalise abanengi,+
Ngeke ubabale ubaqede asebabulele.+
27 Indlu yakhe iyindlela eya engcwabeni;
Yehlela endaweni yabantu abafileyo.*
