IHubo
Kumqondisi wokuhlabela. Kumele lihlatshelwe kutshaywa iziginci. Imaskili.* Ihubo likaDavida.
2 Ngilalela ungiphendule.+
Uhlupho lwami lwenza ngingahlaliseki.+
Ngikhathazeke kakhulu,
3 Ngenxa yalokho okukhulunywa yisitha,
Langenxa yokucindezelwa ngababi.
Bangithwalise nzima,
Njalo bayangizonda kakhulu.+
5 Ngifikelwa luvalo lokuthuthumela,
Ngiyaqhuqha ngenxa yokwesaba.
6 Ngihlala ngisithi: “Aluba bengilempiko njengejuba,
Bengizaphapha ngiyehlala endaweni evikelekileyo.
8 Bengizabalekela endaweni evikelekileyo,
Khatshana lomoya ovunguzayo, khatshana lesiphepho.”
9 Baphithanise amakhanda awu Jehova, wenze amacebo abo afadalale+
Ngoba ngibone udlakela, abantu besilwa edolobheni.
10 Bahamba phezu kwemiduli yalo ubusuku lemini,
Phakathi kwalo kugcwele ububi lezinkathazo.+
11 Sekungumonakalo wodwa edolobheni,
Abantu bayaqilwa futhi bayacindezelwa egcekeni ledolobho.+
12 Aluba bekuyisitha esingithethisayo,+
Bengizabekezela.
Aluba bekuyisitha esingivukelayo,
Bengizasicatshela.
14 Besingamathe lolimi,
Besijayele ukuhamba sonke endlini kaNkulunkulu, siphakathi kwexuku labantu.
15 Kwangathi bangatshabalala!+
Behlele engcwabeni bephila,
Ngoba balenhliziyo ezimbi njalo bahlala ezindaweni ezigcwele okubi.
16 Kodwa mina ngizabiza uNkulunkulu,
UJehova uzangisindisa.+
17 Ngikhathazekile, ngiyabubula+ ekuseni lemini lantambama.
Yena uyalizwa ilizwi lami.+
Abasoze batshintshe,
Labo abangazange bamesabe uNkulunkulu.+
20 Umngane wami uhlasele labo ababehlalisane laye ngokuthula,+
Kazange asigcine isivumelwano ayesenzile.+
21 Amazwi akhe abutshelezi kulolaza,+
Kodwa uthanda ukulwa.
Amazwi akhe abutshelezi kulamafutha,
Kodwa anjengenkemba ezibukhali.+
Kasoze avume ukuthi olungileyo awe.*+
23 Kodwa wena Nkulunkulu uzabehlisela egodini elitshonayo.+
Ababulali lamaqili bazakuba lempilo emfitshane kakhulu.+
Kodwa mina ngizathemba wena.
