INdumiso

90 Owu Yehova, wena uye waba yindawo yethu yokuhlala yokwenene+

Ebudeni bezizukulwana ngezizukulwana.+

 2 Ngaphambi kokuba neentaba zizalwe,+

Okanye uzise ngokungathi kungenimba umhlaba+ nelizwe elinemveliso,+

Ukususela kwixesha elingenammiselo ukusa kwixesha elingenammiselo wena unguThixo.+

 3 Umntu ofayo umbuyisela eluthulini,+

Kwaye uthi: “Buyani, nyana babantu.”+

 4 Kuba iminyaka eliwaka emehlweni akho injengemini yezolo xa idlulile,+

Nanjengomlindo ebudeni bobusuku.+

 5 Uye wabatshayela;+ baba bubuthongo nje;+

Kusasa banjengengca le itshintshayo.+

 6 Kusasa iyatyatyamba yaye imele itshintshe;+

Ngokuhlwa iyabuna ize ngokuqinisekileyo yome.+

 7 Kuba siyaphela ngumsindo wakho,+

Nangobushushu bakho siphazamisekile.+

 8 Ubeke iziphoso zethu kanye phambi kwethu,+

Izinto zethu ezifihlakeleyo phambi kobuso bethu obuqaqambileyo.+

 9 Kuba yonke imihla yethu ifikelele ekupheleni kwayo ngokuvutha komsindo wakho;+

Siyigqibile iminyaka yethu kanye njengokusebeza.+

10 Imihla yeminyaka yethu yiminyaka engamashumi asixhenxe;+

Yaye ukuba ithe ngenxa yamandla akhethekileyo yangamashumi asibhozo,+

Ukuzingisa kwayo kusenkathazweni nakwizinto ezenzakalisayo;+

Kuba imele idlule ngokukhawuleza, siphaphazele simke.+

11 Ngubani na owaziyo amandla omsindo wakho+

Nokuvutha komsindo wakho ngokokoyikeka kwakho?+

12 Sibonise kanye indlela yokubala imihla yethu ngendlela+

Yokuba sizuze intliziyo yobulumko.+

13 Buya, Yehova!+ Kuya kude kube nini na?+

Zisole ngenxa yabakhonzi bakho.+

14 Sanelise kusasa ngobubele bakho bothando,+

Ukuze sibe nokumemelela ngovuyo size sibe nemihlali ebudeni bayo yonke imihla yethu.+

15 Senze sibe nemihlali ngokulinganayo nemihla owasixhwalekisa ngayo,+

Iminyaka esibone ngayo intlekele.+

16 Ngamana umsebenzi wakho ungabonakala kubakhonzi bakho+

Nobungangamsha bakho koonyana babo.+

17 Ukuthandeka kukaYehova uThixo wethu makube phezu kwethu,+

Nomsebenzi wezandla zethu wumisele ngokuqinileyo phezu kwethu.+

Ewe, umsebenzi wezandla zethu, wumisele ngokuqinileyo.+
