INCWADI YOKUQALA

(IiNdumiso 1-41)

1 Wonwabile umntu ongahambiyo ngecebiso labenzi-bubi

Nongemiyo endleleni yaboni+

Nongahlaliyo esihlalweni sabathetha ukusa.+

 2 Kodwa othanda umthetho kaYehova,+

Nofunda umthetho wakhe ngelizwi eliphantsi* imini nobusuku.+

 3 Uza kuba njengomthi otyalwe ngakwimisinga yamanzi,

Umthi ovelisa isiqhamo ngexesha laso,

Onamagqabi angabuniyo.

Yaye yonke into ayenzayo iza kuphumelela.+

 4 Abakho njalo ke bona abenzi-bubi;

Banjengomququ ophetshethwa ngumoya.

 5 Yiloo nto abenzi-bubi bengazukusinda xa kugwetywa;+

Naboni bengazukuma kwibandla lamalungisa.+

 6 Kuba uYehova uyayazi indlela yamalungisa,+

Kodwa indlela yabenzi-bubi iza kutshabalala.+

2 Kutheni iintlanga zinoqhushululu

Nezizwana zisebeza* into engekhoyo?+

 2 Ookumkani bomhlaba bayema

Namagosa aphakamileyo aye amanyana*+

Ukuze alwe noYehova nomthanjiswa* wakhe.+

 3 Bathi: “Masiwaqhawule amatsheyini abo

Sizilahle kude iintambo zabo!”

 4 Lowo usetroneni emazulwini uza kuhleka;

UYehova uza kubenza intlekisa.

 5 Ngelo xesha uza kuthetha nabo ecaphukile

Aze aboyikise enomsindo,

 6 Esithi: “Mna, ndimbekile owam ukumkani+

EZiyon,+ intaba yam engcwele.”

 7 Mandichaze into ethethwe* nguYehova;

Uthe kum: “Ungunyana wam;+

Namhlanje ndiye ndaba ngutata wakho.+

 8 Cela kum, ibe ndiza kukunika iintlanga zibe lilifa lakho

Nezona ndawo zikude zomhlaba zibe zezakho.+

 9 Uza kuziqhekeza ngentonga yobukhosi yentsimbi,+

Uza kuziqhekeza zibe ziingceba okwesitya sodongwe.”+

10 Ngoku ke, nina bokumkani, sebenzisani ingqondo;

Vumani nilungiswe,* nina bagwebi bomhlaba.

11 Mkhonzeni uYehova nisoyika,

Nivuye ningcangcazela.

12 Mhlonipheni* unyana,+ okanye uThixo uza kucaphuka

Nize nitshabalale,+

Kuba umsindo wakhe uyakhawuleza.

Bonwabile bonke ababalekela kuye.

Ingoma emnandi kaDavide xa wayebaleka unyana wakhe uAbhisalom.+

3 Yhini Yehova, kutheni le nto ndineentshaba ezingaka?+

Kutheni bebaninzi kangaka abalwa nam?+

 2 Baninzi abathi ngam:

“UThixo akazukumsindisa.”+ (Selah)*

 3 Kodwa wena Yehova ulikhaka elindikhusela macala onke,+

Uzuko lwam,+ naLowo uphakamisa intloko yam.+

 4 Ndiza kukhalela kuYehova,

Ibe uza kundiphendula esentabeni yakhe engcwele.+ (Selah)

 5 Ndiza kungqengqa, ndilale;

Ndize ndivuke ndisakhuselekile,

Kuba uYehova uqhubeka endixhasa.+

 6 Andiwoyiki amashumi amawaka abantu

Abathontelana macala onke besilwa nam.+

 7 Phakama, yhini Yehova! Ndisindise+ Thixo wam!

Kuba uza kuzibetha emhlathini zonke iintshaba zam;

Uza kuwaphula amazinyo abenzi-bubi.+

 8 NguYehova osindisayo.+

Intsikelelo yakho ikubantu bakho. (Selah)

Kumalathisi; mayikhatshwe yimirhubhe. Ingoma emnandi kaDavide.

4 Xa ndikubiza, ndiphendule, yhini Thixo wam olilungisa.+

Ndivulele indlela yokubaleka* xa ndisentlungwini.

Ndenzele ububele uze uwuve umthandazo wam.

 2 Nina bonyana babantu, kuza kude kube nini nijika uzuko lwam lube lihlazo?

Kuza kude kube nini nithanda izinto ezingenaxabiso yaye nikhangela ubuxoki? (Selah)

 3 Yazini ukuba uYehova uza kumphatha ngendlela ekhethekileyo* lowo unamathelayo kuye;

UYehova uza kuva xa ndimbiza.

 4 Khathazekani, kodwa ningoni.+

Thulani, nithethe ezintliziyweni zenu, kwiibhedi zenu. (Selah)

 5 Bingelelani imibingelelo yobulungisa,

Nithembele ngoYehova.+

 6 Baninzi abathi: “Ngubani oza kusibonisa into elungileyo?”

Ukukhanya kobuso bakho makusikhanyisele, yhini Yehova.+

 7 Uyivuyise kakhulu intliziyo yam

Kunabo banesivuno esikhulu newayini entsha.

 8 Ndiza kungqengqa ndize ndilale ngoxolo,+

Kuba nguwe wedwa Yehova, ondenza ndihlale ndikhuselekile.+

Kumalathisi weNehiloti.* Ingoma emnandi kaDavide.

5 Wamamele amazwi am, yhini Yehova;+

Kuhoye ukuncwina kwam.

 2 Kuhoye ukukhalela kwam uncedo,

Yhini Kumkani wam noThixo wam, kuba ndithandaza kuwe.

 3 Owu Yehova, uza kuliva kwakusasa ilizwi lam;+

Ndiza kukuchazela kwakusasa into endikhathazayo,+ ndize ndilindele kuwe.

 4 Kuba awungoThixo ovuyiswayo bububi;+

Akukho namnye umenzi-bubi onokuhlala nawe.+

 5 Akukho mntu unekratshi unokuma phambi kwakho.

Uyabacaphukela bonke abenza izinto ezimbi;+

 6 Uza kubatshabalalisa abathetha ubuxoki.+

UYehova uyabenyanya abantu abaziindlobongela nabaxokayo.*+

 7 Kodwa mna ndiza kungena endlini yakho+ ngenxa yothando lwakho olungagungqiyo;+

Ndiza kuqubuda ngentlonipho ndijongise ngakwitempile yakho engcwele.*+

 8 Ndikhokele, yhini Yehova, ngobulungisa bakho, undikhusele kwiintshaba zam;

Yivule indlela yakho phambi kwam.+

 9 Kuba andithembi nantoni na ephuma emlonyeni wazo;

Zinolunya; umqala wazo ulingcwaba elivulekileyo;

Ziyaqhatha ngolwimi lwazo.*+

10 Kodwa uThixo uza kuzibeka ityala;

Ziza kuwiswa ngamacebo azo.+

Kwanga zingagxothwa ngenxa yezono zazo ezininzi,

Kuba zijikele wena.

11 Kodwa bonke abo bathembele ngawe baza kuvuya;+

Baza kutsho ngentswahla yovuyo.

Uza kuthintela nantoni na esondela kubo,

Yaye baza kuvuya abo bathanda igama lakho.

12 Kuba uza kuwasikelela amalungisa, Yehova;

Uza kuwarhangqa ngothando ngathi akhuselwe ngekhaka elikhulu.+

Kumalathisi; mayikhatshwe yimirhubhe idlalwe ngeSheminiti.* Ingoma emnandi kaDavide.

6 Yhini Yehova, ungandikhalimeli unomsindo,

Ungandilungisi ucaphukile.+

 2 Ndiphathe ngobubele,* yhini Yehova, kuba ndiphelelwa ngamandla.

Ndiphilise, yhini Yehova,+ kuba amathambo am ayangcangcazela.

 3 Kaloku ndiphazamiseke kakhulu,+

Ndixelele Yehova, kuza kuba nje de kube nini?+

 4 Ndicela ubuye Yehova, uze undisindise;+

Ndisindise ngenxa yothando lwakho olungagungqiyo.+

 5 Kuba umntu akanakuthetha ngawe* xa efile;

Ngubani onokukudumisa engcwabeni?*+

 6 Ukuncwina kwam kunditheza amandla;+

Ibhedi yam imanzi tixi ziinyembezi zobusuku bonke;

Indawo endingqengqa kuyo idada iinyembezi zam.+

 7 Ilihlo lam libuthathaka ngenxa yentlungu yam,+

Libona luzizi* ngenxa yabo bonke abandichukelayo.

 8 Yahlukanani nam nonke nina nenza izinto ezimbi,

Kuba uYehova uza kusiva isikhalo sam.+

 9 UYehova uza kundiva xa ndicela ububele kuye;+

UYehova uza kuwamkela umthandazo wam.

10 Zonke iintshaba zam ziza kuphoxeka, zidane;

Ziza kurhoxa ngenxa yokuhlaziswa zingalindelanga.+

Ingoma kaDavide yokuzila awayiculela uYehova ngenxa yezinto ezazithethwe nguKushi umBhenjamin.

7 Owu Yehova Thixo wam, ndibalekela kuwe.+

Ndisindise kubo bonke abo banditshutshisayo uze undihlangule.+

 2 Kuba baza kundiqwenga njengengonyama,+

Bandixhwile kungekho mntu wokundisindisa.

 3 Owu Yehova Thixo wam, ukuba ndibekeka ityala ngale nto,

Ukuba andenzanga bulungisa,

 4 Ukuba ndimphathe kakubi lowo undenzela ububele,+

Okanye ukuba ndiphange utshaba lwam lungenzanga nto,*

 5 Utshaba malundileqe lundifumane;

Malubunyathelele emhlabeni ubomi bam

Luze lulwenze luphelele eluthulini uzuko lwam. (Selah)

 6 Phakama Yehova, unomsindo;

Ndinqandele kumsindo weentshaba zam;+

Vuka ngenxa yam, uze uqinisekise ukuba kwenziwa ubulungisa.+

 7 Mazikujikeleze iintlanga;

Ibe wena uza kuzihlasela usetroneni yakho ephezulu.

 8 UYehova uza kuwisa isigwebo kwizizwana.+

Owu yhini Yehova, ndigwebe ngokobulungisa bam

Nangokungasoleki kwam.+

 9 Ndiyakucela, buphelise ububi obenziwa ngabenzi-bubi.

Wakhusele amalungisa,+

Kuba wena unguThixo olilungisa+ ohlola iintliziyo+ neengcinga.*+

10 UThixo likhaka lam,+ uMsindisi wabo baneentliziyo ezilungileyo.+

11 UThixo nguMgwebi olilungisa,+

Ibe uThixo uwisa izigwebo zakhe* yonke imihla.

12 Ukuba nabani na akaguquki,+ ulola ikrele lakhe;+

Ugoba isaphetha sakhe aze asilungiselele ukutola.+

13 Ulungisa izixhobo zakhe ezibulalayo;

Ukhupha iintolo zakhe zomlilo.+

14 Khawujonge lowo umithi inkohlakalo;

Ukhawula inkathazo aze azale ubuxoki.+

15 Ugrumba umngxuma, awumbe ube nzulu,

Kodwa uwela kuloo mngxuma awenzileyo.+

16 Inkathazo yakhe iza kubuyela kwintloko yakhe;+

Ubundlobongela bakhe buza kuwa phezu kokakayi lwentloko yakhe.

17 Ndiza kumdumisa uYehova ngenxa yobulungisa bakhe;+

Ndiza kulidumisa ngomculo* igama likaYehova,+ Oyena Uphakamileyo.+

Kumalathisi; idlalwa ngeGititi.* Ingoma emnandi kaDavide.

8 Owu Yehova Nkosi yethu, liyamangalisa igama lakho emhlabeni wonke;

Uzuko lwakho luphakame nangaphezu kwamazulu!*+

 2 Emilonyeni yabantwana neentsana+ ufake amandla

Okulwa neentshaba zakho,

Ukuze uluvale umlomo utshaba nalowo uziphindezelayo.

 3 Xa ndibona amazulu akho, imisebenzi yeminwe yakho,

Inyanga neenkwenkwezi ozenzileyo,+

 4 Uyintoni na umntu ofayo le nto umkhumbulayo,

Nonyana womntu le nto umkhathalelayo?+

 5 Umenze wangaphantsi kancinci kwabo banjengoThixo,*

Waza wamthwesa ngozuko nobukhulu.

 6 Umphathise imisebenzi yezandla zakho;+

Yonke into uyibeke phantsi kweenyawo zakhe:

 7 Zonke iigusha neebhokhwe neenkomo,

Kwanezilwanyana zasendle,*+

 8 Iintaka zezulu neentlanzi zolwandle,

Nantoni na ehamba elwandle.

 9 Owu Yehova Nkosi yethu, igama lakho likhulu ngeyona ndlela emhlabeni wonke!

Kumalathisi; idlalwa ngeMute-labhen.* Ingoma emnandi kaDavide.

א [Aleph]

9 Ndiza kukudumisa, Yehova, ngentliziyo yam yonke;

Ndiza kuthetha ngayo yonke imisebenzi yakho emangalisayo.+

 2 Ndiza kuvuya ndize ndizingombe isifuba ngawe;

Ndiza kulidumisa ngengoma* igama lakho, wena ungOyena Uphakamileyo.+

ב [Beth]

 3 Xa iintshaba zam zirhoxa,+

Ziza kukhubeka zize zitshabalale phambi kwakho.

 4 Kuba uyazithethelela izenzo zam zobulungisa;

Uhlala etroneni yakho ugwebe ngobulungisa.+

ג [Gimel]

 5 Ukhalimele iintlanga,+ waza wabatshabalalisa abenzi-bubi,

Ulicime ngonaphakade kanaphakade igama labo.

 6 Iintshaba uzitshabalalise ngonaphakade,

Wancothula nezixeko zazo,

Watshayela kwanto enokwenza nazo.+

ה [He]

 7 Kodwa yena uYehova ungukumkani ngonaphakade;+

Uyizinzise yomelela ngobulungisa itrone yakhe.+

 8 Uza kuwugweba ngobulungisa wonke umhlaba;+

Uza kuziwisela izigwebo ezisemthethweni iintlanga.+

ו [Waw]

 9 UYehova uza kuba yindawo ekhuselekileyo*+ kwabo bacinezelwayo,

Indawo yokubalekela ngamaxesha anzima.+

10 Baza kuthembela kuwe abo balaziyo igama lakho;+

Wena Yehova+ soze ubalahle abo bakukhangelayo.

ז [Zayin]

11 Mdumiseni ngengoma uYehova ohlala eZiyon;

Zithetheni ezizweni izinto azenzileyo.+

12 Kuba Lowo ungumphindezeli wegazi labo uyabakhumbula;+

Akazukusilibala isikhalo sabasentlungwini.+

ח [Heth]

13 Ndenzele ububele Yehova; ndicela uyibone intlungu yam eyenziwe ngabo bandicaphukelayo,

Wena undiphakamisayo kwiigeyithi zokufa,+

14 Ukuze ndizithethe kwiigeyithi zentombi yaseZiyon+ zonke izinto ezintle ozenzileyo,

Nokuze ndivuyiswe ziindlela ondisindise ngazo.+

ט [Teth]

15 Iintlanga zeyele kumhadi eziwembileyo;

Unyawo lwazo lubanjiswe ngumnatha obufihlwe kwazizo.+

16 UYehova waziwa ngomgwebo awuwisileyo.+

Umenzi-bubi ubanjiswa ngumsebenzi wezandla zakhe.+

Higayoni.* (Selah)

י [Yod]

17 Abenzi-bubi baza kubuyela engcwabeni,*

Zonke iintlanga ezimlibalayo uThixo.

18 Kodwa amahlwempu awazukulityalwa ngokupheleleyo;+

Nethemba labalulamileyo soze litshabalale.+

כ [Kaph]

19 Ndicela uphakame Yehova! Sukuvumela umntu ofayo oyise.

Mazigwetywe iintlanga phambi kwakho.+

20 Zibethe ngoloyiko, Yehova,+

Iintlanga mazazi ukuba zingabantu nje abafayo. (Selah)

ל [Lamed]

10 Kutheni Yehova, umele kude?

Kutheni uzifihla ngamaxesha enkxwaleko?+

 2 Eqhutywa likratshi, umenzi-bubi uleqa umntu ongenakuzinceda,+

Kodwa uza kurhintyelwa ngamaqhinga akhe.+

 3 Kuba umenzi-bubi uqhayisa ngeminqweno yakhe,+

Aze asikelele umntu onyolukileyo;*

נ [Nun]

Uyamdelela uYehova.

 4 Ekubeni eziqhenya, umenzi-bubi akaphandi;

Ekuphela kwento ayicingayo yile: “Akukho Thixo.”+

 5 Iindlela zakhe zihlala ziphumelela,+

Kodwa akanakuziqonda izigwebo zakho;+

Uyazigezela* zonke iintshaba zakhe.

 6 Uthi entliziyweni yakhe: “Soze ndigungqiswe;

Kuza kugqitha izizukulwana

Ndingayiboni intlekele.”+

פ [Pe]

 7 Emlonyeni wakhe kuphuma iziqalekiso, ubuxoki nezisongelo;+

Ulwimi lwakhe luthetha izinto ezikhathazayo nezenzakalisayo.+

 8 Uhlala elalele kufutshane nemizi;

Ubulala umntu omsulwa ekwindawo yakhe yokuzimela.+

ע [Ayin]

Amehlo akhe agade umntu oselishweni.+

 9 Ulalela endaweni yakhe yokuzimela okwengonyama esikhundleni sayo.*+

Uyalalela ukuze amthi hlasi ongenakuzinceda.

Uyamrhintyela ongenakuzinceda ngokuwutsala uvaleke umnatha wakhe.+

10 Uyamtyumza aze amoyise;

Ezo ntsizana ziwela ezandleni zakhe.*

11 Uthi entliziyweni yakhe: “UThixo ulibele.+

Ubufihlile ubuso bakhe.

Akukho nto ayiqaphelayo.”+

ק [Qoph]

12 Phakama Yehova. Owu yhini Thixo,+ siphakamise isandla sakho.+

Sukubalibala abo bangenakuzinceda.+

13 Kutheni umenzi-bubi emdelela nje uThixo?

Uthi entliziyweni yakhe: “Soze undiphendulise.”

ר [Resh]

14 Kodwa wena uyazibona iinkathazo neentlungu.

Uyajonga uze wenze into ngaloo nto.+

Zibalekela kuwe iintsizana zabantu;+

Nguwe onceda umntwana ongenatata.*+

ש [Shin]

15 Maphule ingalo umntu ongumenzi-bubi nokhohlakeleyo,+

Ukuze xa ubukhangela ububi abenzayo,

Ungabufumani ndawo.

16 UYehova nguKumkani ngonaphakade kanaphakade.+

Iintlanga zitshabalele emhlabeni.+

ת [Taw]

17 Kodwa uza kusiva isicelo sabalulamileyo Yehova.+

Uza kuzomeleza iintliziyo zabo+ uze ubahoye.+

18 Uza kubagwebela ngobulungisa abangenatata nabo batyunyuziweyo,+

Ukuze umntu ofayo wasemhlabeni ayeke ukuboyikisa.+

Kumalathisi. EkaDavide.

11 Ndibalekele kuYehova.+

Ngoko ningathini ukuthi kum:

“Balekelani entabeni yenu njengentaka!

 2 Khawujonge indlela abenzi-bubi abasigoba ngayo isaphetha;

Babeka utolo lwabo kumtya wesaphetha,

Ukuze babatole ebumnyameni abo baneentliziyo ezilungileyo.

 3 Xa iziseko* zichithwa,

Angenza ntoni olilungisa?”

 4 UYehova usetempileni yakhe engcwele.+

Itrone kaYehova isemazulwini.+

Amehlo akhe ajongile, amehlo akhe aqaqambileyo athe ntsho koonyana babantu.+

 5 UYehova uhlolisisa ilungisa nomenzi-bubi;+

Uyamcaphukela nabani na othanda ubundlobongela.+

 6 Uza kubabekela izabatha* abenzi-bubi,

Ayigcwalise ngomlilo nesalfure+ nangomoya otshisayo indebe yabo.

 7 Kuba uYehova ulilungisa;+ uyabuthanda ubulungisa.+

Abalungileyo baza kububona ubuso bakhe.*+

Kumalathisi; idlalwa ngeSheminiti.* Ingoma emnandi kaDavide.

12 Owu yhini Yehova ndisindise, kuba abasekho abantu abathembekileyo;

Abanyanisekileyo banyamalele koonyana babantu.

 2 Bayaqhathana;

Bayakhohlisa ngemilebe yabo* baze bathethe ngeentliziyo ezinobuqhophololo.*+

 3 UYehova uza kuyinqumla yonke imilebe eqhathayo

Nolwimi oluhlala luqhayisa,+

 4 Abo bathi: “Siza koyisa ngolwimi lwethu.

Senza unothanda ngemilebe yethu;

Ingangubani onokuba yinkosi yethu?”+

 5 “Ngenxa yokuba becinezelwe abasentlungwini,

Ngenxa yokuncwina kwamahlwempu,+

Ndiza kuphakama ndiwalwele,” utsho uYehova.

“Ndiza kuwasindisa kwabo bawaphatha kakubi.”*

 6 Amazwi kaYehova amsulwa,+

Anjengesilivere esulungekiswe kwiziko elakhiwe ngodongwe,* yacocwa kasixhenxe.

 7 Wena Yehova, uza kubagada;+

Uza kubakhusela ngonaphakade bonke kwesi sizukulwana.

 8 Abenzi-bubi bayazula benganqandwa mntu

Kuba oonyana babantu bakhuthaza ubundlobongela.+

Kumalathisi. Ingoma emnandi kaDavide.

13 Uza kundilibala de kube nini, Yehova? Ngonaphakade?

Uza kubufihla de kube nini ubuso bakho kum?+

 2 Ndiza kuba namaxhala de kube nini,

Kode kube nini ndinentliziyo ebuhlungu yonke imihla?

Luza kundoyisa de kube nini utshaba lwam?+

 3 Owu yhini Yehova Thixo wam, ndijonge undiphendule.

Wenze akhanye amehlo am, ukuze ndingalali ekufeni,

 4 Ukuze utshaba lwam lungathi: “Ndimoyisile!”

Sukuzivumela iintshaba zam zivuyiswe kukuwa kwam.+

 5 Mna ke, ndiluthembile uthando lwakho olungagungqiyo;+

Intliziyo yam iza kuvuyiswa kukusindiswa nguwe.+

 6 Ndiza kumculela uYehova, kuba undivuze kakhulu.+

Kumalathisi. EkaDavide.

14 Izidenge zithi ezintliziyweni zazo:*

“Akekho uYehova.”+

Zineendlela ezijijekileyo, nezinto ezizenzayo ziyenyanyeka;

Akukho mntu wenza izinto ezilungileyo.+

 2 Kodwa uYehova ubajongile esezulwini oonyana babantu,

Ufuna ukubona ukuba akanakumfumana na umntu onobulumko, okanye okhangela uYehova.+

 3 Bonke baphumile endleleni;+

Bangamaqhophololo bonke.

Akukho mntu wenza izinto ezilungileyo,

Akukho nokuba abe mnye.

 4 Uthetha ukuba akukho namnye kubenzi-bubi ovayo?

Baginya abantu bam ngokungathi batya isonka.

Abathandazi kuYehova.

 5 Kodwa baza koyika,+

Kuba uYehova ukunye nesizukulwana sabangamalungisa.

 6 Nina benzi-bubi nilwisana namacebo omntu ongenanto,

Kodwa uYehova uyindawo yakhe yokubalekela.+

 7 Akwaba uSirayeli angasindiswa yiZiyon!+

Makavuye uYakobi, onwabe uSirayeli

Xa uYehova ebuyisa abantu bakhe abathinjiweyo.

Ingoma emnandi kaDavide.

15 Owu Yehova, ngubani ongaba lundwendwe ententeni yakho?

Ngubani onokuhlala entabeni yakho engcwele?+

 2 Ngulowo uhamba ngokungenasiphoso,*+

Ohlala esenza izinto ezilungileyo+

Nothetha inyaniso entliziyweni yakhe.+

 3 Akangcolisi gama lamntu ngolwimi lwakhe.+

Akamenzi nto imbi ummelwane wakhe,+

Ibe akathethi kakubi ngabahlobo* bakhe.+

 4 Akamfuni nabani na oziphethe kakubi,+

Kodwa uyabahlonipha abo boyika uYehova.

Akajiki kwinto ayithembisileyo,* nokuba iza kumchana loo nto.+

 5 Akabizi nzala ngemali abolekisa ngayo,+

Ibe akasamkeli isinyobo ukuze agqwethe ityala lomsulwa.+

Nabani na ozenzayo ezi zinto soze agungqiswe.+

I-miktam* kaDavide.

16 Ndicela undikhusele Thixo, kuba ndibalekele kuwe.+

 2 Ndithe kuYehova: “UnguYehova, uMthombo wam wezinto ezilungileyo.

 3 Nabo bangcwele abasemhlabeni,

Abo bazizikhulu, bandenza ndonwabe kakhulu.”+

 4 Abo barhorhozela emva kwabanye oothixo bazongezela nje iintlungu.+

Soze ndiyigalele iminikelo yabo yegazi eselwayo,

Ndingasoze ndithethe nokuthetha ngabo.+

 5 UYehova sisahlulo sam, isabelo endisinikiweyo+ nendebe yam.+

Wena undigadela ilifa lam.

 6 Ndabelwe iindawo ezindonwabisayo.

Ndilivuyela nyhani ilifa lam.+

 7 Ndiza kumdumisa uYehova, ondicebisileyo.+

Ezona ngcinga zam zinzulu* ziyandilungisa nasezinzulwini zobusuku.+

 8 UYehova uhlala ephambi kwam.+

Ekubeni engasekunene kwam, soze ndigungqiswe.*+

 9 Ngoko ke intliziyo yam iyavuya, ndonwabe ngokupheleleyo.

Ibe ndikhuselekile.*

10 Kuba awuzukundishiya engcwabeni.*+

Awuzukumvumela lowo ukukhonza ngokungagungqiyo ukuba abone umngxuma.*+

11 Undazisa indlela yobomi.+

Konwatywa kakhulu apho ukhoyo;*+

Kuvuywa* ngonaphakade ngakwisandla sakho sasekunene.

Umthandazo kaDavide.

17 Ndiyakucela Yehova, kuve ukucela kwam ukwenzelwa ubulungisa;

Kumamele ukukhalela kwam uncedo;

Wuve umthandazo wam ongenankohliso.+

 2 Kwanga ungandigweba ngobulungisa;+

Kwanga amehlo akho angabona izinto ezilungileyo.

 3 Uyigocagocile intliziyo yam, wandihlolisisa ebusuku;+

Undisulungekisile,+

Uza kubona ukuba andicebanga nantoni na embi,

Nomlomo wam awuthethanga nkohliso.

 4 Andenzanga njengabanye abantu,

Ndithobele ilizwi lemilebe yakho, ndaziphepha iindlela zootsotsi.+

 5 Mandihlale ndihamba ngeendlela zakho

Ukuze unyawo lwam lungakhubeki.+

 6 Ndizibika kuwe Thixo wam, kuba uza kundiphendula.+

Vula iindlebe,* uweve amazwi am.+

 7 Bonisa uthando lwakho olungagungqiyo ngendlela emangalisayo,+

Wena Msindisi wabo bathembele ngesandla sakho sasekunene,

Ubakhusele kwabo bangakuthobeliyo.

 8 Ndikhusele njengelihlo lakho;+

Ndifihle emthunzini wamaphiko akho.+

 9 Ndikhusele kubenzi-bubi abandihlaselayo,

Nakwiintshaba zam ezindijikelezileyo.+

10 Azinalusizi;*

Ngomlomo wazo zithetha ngekratshi;

11 Ngoku zisirhangqile;+

Zisithe ntsho zifuna ithuba lokusiwisa.

12 Ngalunye kuzo lunjengengonyama engxamele ukuqwenga ixhoba layo,

Lunjengengonyama encathame engontsini.

13 Khawuphakame Yehova, umelane nalo+ uze uluwise;

Ndikhusele kumenzi-bubi ngekrele lakho;

14 Nceda undikhusele ngesandla sakho Yehova,

Kubantu beli hlabathi, abaphilela obu bomi,+

Abo ubanika izinto ezintle ozenzileyo+

Nabashiyela oonyana babo abaninzi ilifa.

15 Kodwa mna, ngenxa yobulungisa bam ndiza kububona ubuso bakho;

Ndaneliswa kukubona wena* xa ndivuka.+

Kumalathisi. EkaDavide umkhonzi kaYehova, owayewaculela uYehova amazwi ale ngoma ngemini uYehova awamhlangula ngayo ezandleni zazo zonke iintshaba zakhe nasesandleni sikaSawule. Wathi:+

18 Ndiyakuthanda Yehova, mandla am.+

 2 UYehova liliwa lam, ikhusi lam nalowo undisindisayo.+

UThixo wam liliwa lam+ endibalekela kulo,

Ulikhaka lam nophondo* lwam losindiso,* indawo yam ekhuselekileyo.*+

 3 Ndiyambiza uYehova, ofanelwe kukudunyiswa,

Ibe ndiza kusindiswa kwiintshaba zam.+

 4 Iintambo ezibulalayo zandirhintyela,+

Izikhukula zamadoda angoongantweni zandoyikisa.+

 5 Iintambo zengcwaba* zandirhangqa;

Imigibe yokufa yajamelana nam.+

 6 Xa ndandisentlungwini, ndathandaza kuYehova,

Ndaqhubeka ndikhalela uncedo kuThixo wam.

Waliva ilizwi lam esetempileni yakhe,+

Yaye ukukhalela kwam uncedo kwafika ezindlebeni zakhe.+

 7 Emva koko umhlaba wagungqa, wanyikima;+

Neziseko zeentaba zangcangcazela,

Zaqhubeka zihexa kuba wayecatshukisiwe.+

 8 Kwanyuka umsi uphuma ezimpumlweni zakhe,

Kwaphuma umlilo otshabalalisayo emlonyeni wakhe,+

Kwaphuma namalahle avuthayo kuye.

 9 Wawathoba amazulu njengoko wayesehla,+

Ibe kwakukho intsunguzi yobumnyama phantsi kweenyawo zakhe.+

10 Weza ebhabha ekhwele ikherubhi.+

Wehla ngesantya ekhwele emaphikweni esidalwa somoya.*+

11 Emva koko wazifihla ebumnyameni,+

Baba likhusi lakhe macala onke,

Amanzi amnyama neengqimba zamafu.+

12 Ekukhanyeni okuphambi kwakhe

Kwawa isichotho namalahle avuthayo elifini.

13 Emva koko uYehova waduduma esemazulwini;+

Oyena Uphakamileyo wabangela ilizwi lakhe laviwa+

Ngezichotho namalahle avuthayo.

14 Wadubula iintolo zakhe, wabachitha-chitha;+

Wathumela umbane wakhe, wenza isiphithiphithi phakathi kwabo.+

15 Umphantsi womfula wabonakala;*+

Iziseko zomhlaba zatyhilwa kukukhalima kwakho, Yehova,

Kukufutha kwempefumlo yeempumlo zakho.+

16 Wathi ephezulu,

Wandibamba, wandikhupha emanzini anzulu.+

17 Wandisindisa kutshaba lwam olomeleleyo,+

Kwabo babendicaphukela, ababenamandla kunam.+

18 Balwa nam ngemini yentlekele yam,+

Kodwa uYehova wandixhasa.

19 Wandikhupha wandisa kwindawo ekhuselekileyo;*

Wandisindisa kuba ekholwa ndim.+

20 UYehova undivuza ngenxa yobulungisa bam;+

Undibuyekeza ngenxa yokuba msulwa kwezandla* zam,+

21 Kuba ndizigcinile iindlela zikaYehova,

Andibanga ngumenzi-bubi, ndamlahla uThixo wam.

22 Zonke izigwebo zakhe ziphambi kwam;

Andizukuyidelela imithetho yakhe.

23 Ndiza kuhlala ndimsulwa phambi kwakhe,+

Kwaye andizukwenza sono.+

24 Kwanga uYehova angandibuyekeza ngenxa yobulungisa bam,+

Ngenxa yokuba msulwa kwam phambi kwakhe.+

25 Uza kuthi nca kumntu okukhonza ngokungagungqiyo;+

Uza kuyiphatha ngokungenasiphoso indoda engenasiphoso;+

26 Kumntu omsulwa uzibonakalisa umsulwa,+

Kodwa kumntu onamaqhinga uzibonakalisa unobulumko.+

27 Kuba uyabasindisa abathobekileyo,*+

Kodwa uyabathoba abanekratshi.*+

28 Kuba nguwe, Yehova, okhanyisa isibane sam;

UThixo wam uyandikhanyisela ebumnyameni bam.+

29 Ngoncedo lwakho ndingamelana namajoni angabaphangi;+

Ngamandla kaThixo ndingalunyuka udonga.+

30 Indlela yoThixo wokwenene igqibelele;+

Ilizwi likaYehova lisulungekile.+

Ulikhaka kubo bonke abo babalekela kuye.+

31 Kuba ngubani onguThixo ngaphandle kukaYehova?+

Ngubani iliwa ngaphandle koThixo wethu?+

32 UThixo wokwenene undambathisa ngamandla,+

Yaye uza kuyenza igqibelele indlela yam.+

33 Wenza iinyawo zam zibe njengezexhamakazi;

Undenza ndime kwiindawo eziphakamileyo.+

34 Izandla zam uziqeqeshela imfazwe;

Iingalo zam ziyakwazi ukugoba isaphetha sekopolo.

35 Undinika ikhaka lakho losindiso,+

Yaye isandla sakho sasekunene siyandixhasa,

Nokuthobeka kwakho kundenza ndibe mkhulu.+

36 Uyenza banzi indlela yam;

Iinyawo zam azizukutyibilika.*+

37 Ndiza kuzileqa iintshaba zam ndide ndizifumane;

Andizukubuya zide zibe zitshayelwe.

38 Ndiza kuzityumza ukuze zingakwazi ukuphakama;+

Ziza kuwa phantsi kweenyawo zam.

39 Uza kundixhobisa ngamandla okulwa idabi;

Uza kuzenza iintshaba zam ziwe phantsi kwam.+

40 Uza kuzenza zirhoxe iintshaba zam,*

Ibe ndiza kubaphelisa* abo bandicaphukelayo.+

41 Bakhalela uncedo, kodwa akukho mntu wakubasindisa;

Bade bakhale nakuYehova, kodwa akabaphenduli.

42 Ndiza kubaguba babe njengothuli olusemoyeni;

Ndiza kubalahla njengodaka olusezitratweni.

43 Uza kundisindisa ekugxekweni ngabantu.+

Uza kundibeka ndibe yintloko ezintlangeni.+

Ndiza kukhonzwa sisizwana endingasaziyo.+

44 Baza kundithobela ngenxa nje yento abayivileyo;

Abasemzini baza kuza kum bothukile.+

45 Abasemzini baza kuphelelwa sisibindi;*

Baza kuphuma kwiindawo zabo zokuzikhusela bengcangcazela.

46 UYehova uyaphila! Malidunyiswe iLiwa lam!+

Makaphakanyiswe uThixo ondisindisayo.+

47 UThixo wokwenene uyandiphindezelela;+

Uyazithoba izizwana zibe ngaphantsi kwam.

48 Yena uyandisindisa kwiintshaba zam ezinomsindo;

Wena undiphakamisa ngaphezu kwabo bandihlaselayo;+

Uyandisindisa kwindoda eyindlobongela.

49 Yiloo nto ndiza kukuzukisa phakathi kweentlanga, wena Yehova,+

Negama lakho ndiza kulidumisa ngengoma.*+

50 Umsindisa ngeendlela ezinkulu* ukumkani wakhe;+

Umthanda ngokungagungqiyo umthanjiswa wakhe+

UDavide nenzala* yakhe ngonaphakade.+

Umyalelo oya kumalathisi. Ingoma kaDavide.

19 Amazulu axela uzuko lukaThixo;+

Isibhakabhaka sixela umsebenzi wezandla zakhe.+

 2 Usuku emva kolunye zimpompoza amazwi,

Yaye ubusuku emva kobunye zityhila ulwazi.

 3 Azithethi, yaye akukho mazwi;

Aliviwa ilizwi lazo.

 4 Kodwa isandi sazo saviwa* emhlabeni wonke,

Nomyalezo wazo kwezona ndawo zikude emhlabeni.+

Ulimisele intente ilanga emazulwini;

 5 Linjengomyeni ephuma kwigumbi lomtshakazi wakhe;

Lonwabe njengendoda eyomeleleyo ebaleka ugqatso.

 6 Liphuma kwelinye icala lamazulu,

Lijikele liye kwelinye icala;+

Akukho nto ifihliweyo kubushushu balo.

 7 Umthetho kaYehova awunasiphako,+ uvuselela amandla.+

Isikhumbuzo sikaYehova sinokuthenjwa,+ simenza abe nobulumko ongenamava.+

 8 Imiyalelo evela kuYehova yeyobulungisa, iyayivuyisa intliziyo;+

Umyalelo kaYehova ucocekile, uwenza akhanye amehlo.+

 9 Ukoyika uYehova+ kusulungekile, kumi ngonaphakade.

Izigwebo zikaYehova ziyinyaniso, zibubulungisa ngokupheleleyo.+

10 Zinqweneleka ngakumbi kunegolide,

Igolide yodidi,+

Yaye zimnandi ngakumbi kunobusi, ubusi obusulungekileyo.+

11 Umkhonzi wakho zimlumkisile;+

Ekuzithobeleni kukho umvuzo omkhulu.+

12 Ngubani na onokuzibona iimpazamo zakhe?+

Ndivakalise ndimsulwa kwizono zam endingazaziyo.

13 Mnqande umkhonzi wakho angazigqatsi;+

Sukuvumela ukuzigqatsa kundilawule.+

Ngaloo ndlela ndiza kutsho ndigqibelele,+

Ndize ndihlale ndimsulwa ezonweni ezinzulu.

14 Amazwi omlomo wam neengcinga zentliziyo yam

Mazikuvuyise,+ Yehova Liwa lam+ noMkhululi wam.+

Kumalathisi. Ingoma emnandi kaDavide.

20 Kwanga uYehova angakuphendula xa usentlungwini.

Kwanga igama loThixo kaYakobi lingakukhusela.+

 2 Kwanga angakuthumelela uncedo luvela kwindawo engcwele+

Aze akuxhase eseZiyon.+

 3 Kwanga angayikhumbula yonke iminikelo yakho esisipho;

Kwanga angayamkela* iminikelo yakho etshiswayo. (Selah)

 4 Kwanga angakunika loo nto ifunwa yintliziyo yakho,+

Awenze aphumelele onke amacebo akho.

 5 Siza kukhwaza ngovuyo ngenxa yosindiso lwakho;+

Siza kuphakamisa iiflegi zethu egameni loThixo wethu.+

Kwanga uYehova angazenza zonke izinto ozicelayo.

 6 Ngoku ndiyazi ukuba uYehova uyamsindisa othanjisiweyo wakhe.+

Umphendula ekumazulu akhe angcwele,

Amsindise* ngesandla sakhe sasekunene esomeleleyo.+

 7 Abanye bathembele ngeenqwelo, abanye ngamahashe,+

Kodwa thina sithandaza egameni likaYehova uThixo wethu.+

 8 Baye bawa bhuma phantsi,

Kodwa thina siye saphakama sema nkqo.+

 9 Owu yhini Yehova, msindise ukumkani!+

Uza kusiphendula ngemini esicela ngayo uncedo.+

Kumalathisi. Ingoma emnandi kaDavide.

21 Owu Yehova, ayamvuyisa ukumkani amandla akho;+

Ukuvuyela ngendlela engathethekiyo ukusindiswa nguwe!+

 2 Uye wamnika into efunwa yintliziyo yakhe,+

Ibe khange umvimbe izinto azicelayo. (Selah)

 3 Kuba umhlangabeza ngentabalala yeentsikelelo;

Umthwalisa isithsaba segolide yodidi.*+

 4 Ukucele ubomi waza wamnika,+

Ubomi obude,* unaphakade kanaphakade.

 5 Ukusindiswa nguwe kumenza azukiswe ngeyona ndlela.+

Umnika isidima nobukhulu.

 6 Umenza asikelelwe ngonaphakade;+

Umenza avuyiswe kukonwaba kunye nawe.*+

 7 Kuba ukumkani uthembele ngoYehova;+

Ngenxa yokuba ethandwa ngokungagungqiyo ngOyena Uphakamileyo, soze agungqiswe.*+

 8 Isandla sakho siza kuzifumana zonke iintshaba zakho;

Isandla sakho sasekunene siza kubafumana abo bakucaphukelayo.

 9 Uza kubenza babe ngathi baphoswe kwiziko lomlilo ngexesha olimisele ukugagana nabo.

UYehova uza kubaginya enomsindo, baze baqwengwe ngumlilo.+

10 Uza kusitshabalalisa singabikho emhlabeni isizukulwana sabo,*

Nenzala yabo phakathi koonyana babantu.

11 Kuba bebefuna ukukwenza into embi;+

Baqulunqe amayelenqe angazukusebenza.+

12 Kuba uza kubenza barhoxe+

Ngokubakhomba ngotolo lwakho.

13 Phakama ngamandla akho, owu yhini Yehova.

Siza kubudumisa ngengoma* ubukhulu bakho.

Kumalathisi; mayidlalwe “ngeXhamakazi Lasekuseni.”* Ingoma emnandi kaDavide.

22 Thixo wam, Thixo wam, undishiyele ntoni na?+

Kutheni ukude ekundisindiseni,

Ukude kwisandi sokugcuma kwam?+

 2 Owu Thixo wam, ndihlala ndikubiza emini, ungaphenduli;+

Nasebusuku andikwazi kuthula.

 3 Kodwa ungcwele,+

Ungqongwe ziindumiso* zikaSirayeli.

 4 Ookhokho bethu babethembele kuwe;+

Babekuthemba, ibe wena wawuhlala ubasindisa.+

 5 Bakukhalela, baza basindiswa;

Bathembela kuwe, ibe abazange badane.*+

 6 Kodwa mna ndingumbungu, andingomntu,

Ndigezelwa ngamadoda* ibe ndideliwe ngabantu.+

 7 Bonke abo bandibonayo bahlekisa ngam;+

Bayandinyevulela baze banikine intloko besithi:+

 8 “Uzinikele kuYehova. Makamsindise ke!

Makamsindise kaloku xa emthanda!”+

 9 Nguwe owandikhuphayo esibelekweni,+

Owandenza ndaziva ndikhuselekile xa ndandisemabeleni kamama.

10 Bendihoywe nguwe* ukususela ekuzalweni kwam;

UbunguThixo wam ukususela esibelekweni sikamama.

11 Sukuba kude nam, kuba inkathazo ikufutshane,+

Ibe andinaye omnye umncedi.+

12 Ndingqongwe yinqwaba yeenkunzi zamathole eenkomo;+

Iinkunzi zeenkomo zakwaBhashan zindijikelezile.+

13 Zindivulele imilomo yazo,+

Njengengonyama egqumayo eqwenga ixhoba layo.+

14 Ndichithwe njengamanzi;

Onke amathambo am ahlukanisiwe.

Intliziyo yam ifana namafutha;+

Inyibilika ngaphakathi kum.+

15 Amandla am omile njengeceba lengqayi,+

Nolwimi lwam luthe nca enkalakahleni;+

Wena undihlisela eluthulini lokufa.+

16 Kuba ndingqongwe zizinja;+

Zindivingcele okwegquba labenzi-bubi,+

Zindiluma ezandleni nasezinyaweni okwengonyama.+

17 Ndingawabala onke amathambo am.+

Zona iintshaba zam zindijamele.

18 Zahlulelana ngezambatho zam,

Zenza amaqashiso ngeempahla zam.+

19 Kodwa wena, Yehova, sukuhlala ukude kum.+

Wena ungamandla am; khawuleza uze kundinceda.+

20 Ndisindise kwikrele,

Busindise ubomi bam obuxabisekileyo* kumathupha ezinja;*+

21 Ndisindise emlonyeni wengonyama+ nakwiimpondo zenkunzi yenkomo yasendle;

Ndiphendule uze undisindise.

22 Ndiza kubaxelela abantakwethu ngegama lakho;+

Ndiza kukudumisa ebandleni.+

23 Nina boyika uYehova, mdumiseni!

Nonke nina nzala* kaYakobi, mzukiseni!+

Moyikeni, nonke nina nzala* kaSirayeli.

24 Kuba akakhange amdelele ocinezelweyo okanye amenyanye xa esentlungwini;+

Akakhange abufihle ubuso bakhe kuye.+

Xa wakhalela uncedo kuye, wamva.+

25 Ndiza kukudumisa ebandleni elikhulu;+

Ndiza kuzenza izinto endizifungileyo phambi kwabo bamoyikayo.

26 Abalulamileyo baza kutya banele;+

Abo bamkhangelayo uYehova baza kumdumisa.+

Kwanga ungaphila ubomi obumnandi* ngonaphakade.

27 Zonke iindawo ezikude zomhlaba ziza kumkhumbula uYehova, zize kuye.

Zonke iintsapho zeentlanga ziza kuqubuda phambi kwakho.+

28 Kuba ubukumkani bobukaYehova;+

Nguye olawula iintlanga.

29 Zonke izityebi* zomhlaba ziza kutya zize ziqubude;

Bonke abo behlela eluthulini baza kuqubuda phambi kwakhe;

Akukho namnye kubo onokusindisa ubomi bakhe.

30 Inzala* yabo iza kumkhonza;

Isizukulwana esizayo siza kuxelelwa ngoYehova.

31 Baza kuza, bathethe ngobulungisa bakhe.

Baza kuxelela abantu abaseza kuzalwa ngezinto azenzileyo.

Ingoma emnandi kaDavide.

23 UYehova nguMalusi wam.+

Andizukudinga nto.+

 2 Undilalisa kumadlelo anengca;

Undikhokelela kwiindawo zokuphumla ezinamanzi.*+

 3 Uyandihlaziya.+

Undikhokelela kwiindlela* zobulungisa ngenxa yegama lakhe.+

 4 Nangona ndihamba kwintlambo emnyama kakhulu,+

Andoyiki kwenzakala,+

Kuba unam wena;+

Intonga yakho nomsimelelo wakho ziyandikhusela.*

 5 Undilungiselela itafile phambi kweentshaba zam.+

Uyihlaziya* ngeoli intloko yam;+

Indebe yam igcwele.+

 6 Ngokuqinisekileyo ukulunga kwakho nothando lwakho olungagungqiyo luza kundilandela yonke imihla yobomi bam,+

Ibe ndiza kuhlala endlini kaYehova yonke imihla yam.+

EkaDavide. Ingoma emnandi.

24 NgokaYehova umhlaba nazo zonke izinto ezikuwo,+

Ilizwe nabo bahlala kulo.

 2 Kuba uwubethelele phezu kweelwandle,+

Wawuzinzisa phezu kwemilambo.

 3 Ngubani onokunyukela entabeni kaYehova,+

Ingubani onokuma endaweni yakhe engcwele?

 4 Nguye nabani na onezandla ezimsulwa nonentliziyo ecocekileyo,+

Ongakhange enze sifungo sobuxoki ngobomi Bam,*

Nongenzanga isifungo eqhatha.+

 5 Uza kuvuzwa ngeentsikelelo nguYehova,+

Enzelwe ubulungisa nguThixo ongumsindisi wakhe.+

 6 Esi sisizukulwana sabo bamkhangelayo,

Abo bakhangela ubuso bakho, wena Thixo kaYakobi. (Selah)

 7 Phakamisani iintloko zenu, nina zigeyithi;+

Ukuze kungene uKumkani ozukileyo!+

 8 Ngubani na lo Kumkani uzukileyo?

Ukuze kungene uKumkani ozukileyo!

10 Ngubani na lo Kumkani uzukileyo?

NguYehova wemikhosi, nguye lo Kumkani uzukileyo.+ (Selah)

 5 Kuba uza kundizimelisa kwikhusi lakhe ngomhla wentlekele;+

Uza kundifihla endaweni efihlakeleyo yentente yakhe,+

Andibeke phezulu eliweni.+

 6 Ngoku ndiyazoyisa iintshaba ezindingqongileyo;

Ndiza kubingelela ententeni yakhe imibingelelo ndikhwaza futhi ndivuya;

Ndiza kumdumisa ngengoma* uYehova.

 7 Khawundive, owu yhini Yehova, xa ndikhalela kuwe;+

Ndenzele ububele uze undiphendule.+

 8 Intliziyo yam ithi wena uthi:

“Khangelani ubuso bam.”

Ndiza kubukhangela ubuso bakho Yehova.+

 9 Sukubufihla ubuso bakho kum.+

Sukumgxotha ngomsindo umkhonzi wakho.

Ungumncedi wam;+

Sukundilahla okanye undishiye, Thixo wam ondisindisayo.

10 Nokuba utata nomama bangandilahla,+

UYehova uza kundichola ngokwakhe.+

11 Ndiyalele indlela yakho, Yehova,+

Ndikhokelele kwindlela elungileyo, ukuze ndikhuseleke kwiintshaba zam.

12 Ungandinikeli kwiintshaba zam,+

Kuba kuvele amangqina obuxoki andityholayo,+

Ibe afuna ukundenzakalisa.

13 Ngendiphi ukuba bendingenalo ukholo

Lokuba ndiza kubona ukulunga kukaYehova kwilizwe labaphilayo?*+

14 Thembela ngoYehova;+

Yiba nesibindi nentliziyo eyomeleleyo.+

Ndithi, thembela ngoYehova.

EkaDavide.

28 Ndimane ndikhalela kuwe, Yehova Liwa lam;+

Sukungandihoyi.

Ukuba uyathula ungandiphenduli,

Ndiza kufana nabo behlela emngxunyeni.*+

 2 Ndive xa ndikucenga ndikhalela uncedo,

Xa ndiphakamisela izandla zam ngakwelona gumbi liphakathi lendawo yakho engcwele.+

 3 Ungandirhuqi kunye nabenzi-bubi, abenzakalisa abanye,+

Abo bathetha amazwi oxolo ebantwini, ngoxa beceba inkohlakalo ezintliziyweni zabo.+

 4 Babuyekeze ngokwezenzo zabo,+

Ngokwezinto ezimbi abazenzayo.

Bavuze ngokwemisebenzi yezandla zabo,

Ngokwezinto abazenzileyo.+

 5 Kuba abayihoyanga imisebenzi kaYehova,+

Nemisebenzi yezandla zakhe.+

Uza kubadiliza aze angaphindi abakhe.

 6 Makadunyiswe uYehova,

Kuba undivile xa bendimcenga ndicela uncedo.

 7 UYehova ungamandla+ am nekhaka lam;+

Ndimthemba ngentliziyo yam yonke.+

Uye wandinceda, waza wayivuyisa intliziyo yam,

Ngoko ndiza kumdumisa ngengoma yam.

 8 UYehova ungamandla okusindisa abantu bakhe;

Uyindawo ekhuselekileyo yokusindisa umthanjiswa wakhe.+

 9 Basindise abantu bakho, ulisikelele ilifa lakho.+

Baluse uze ubathwale ngeengalo zakho ngonaphakade.+

Ingoma emnandi kaDavide.

29 Mzukiseni uYehova, nina bonyana bamakroti,

Mzukiseni uYehova ngenxa yozuko namandla akhe.+

 2 Mnikeni uYehova uzuko olufanele igama lakhe.

Qubudani kuYehova* ninxibe iimpahla zenu ezingcwele.*

 3 Ilizwi likaYehova livakala phezu kwamanzi;

UThixo ozukileyo utsho kududume.+

UYehova uphezu kwamanzi amaninzi.+

 4 Ilizwi likaYehova linamandla;+

Ilizwi likaYehova liyamangalisa.

 5 Ilizwi likaYehova laphula imithi yomsedare;

UYehova ude aphule imithi yomsedare yaseLebhanon.+

 6 Uyenza iLebhanon* ixhuma-xhume njengethole,

NeSiriyon+ ixhuma-xhume okwethole lenkunzi yenkomo yasendle.

 7 Ilizwi likaYehova litshabalalisa ngamadangatye omlilo;+

 8 Ilizwi likaYehova liyitsho ityhwatyhwe intlango;+

UYehova uyenza ityhwatyhwe intlango yaseKadeshe.+

 9 Ilizwi likaYehova lingcangcazelisa ixhamakazi litsho lizale,

Liwahlube abe ze amahlathi.+

Bonke etempileni yakhe bathi: “Luzuko!”

10 UYehova uyibeke phezu kwezikhukula zamanzi*+ itrone yakhe;

UYehova nguKumkani ohleli etroneni ngonaphakade.+

11 UYehova uza kubanika amandla abantu bakhe.+

UYehova uza kubasikelela ngoxolo abantu bakhe.+

Ingoma emnandi. Ingoma yokunikezelwa kwendlu. EkaDavide.

30 Ndiza kukudumisa Yehova, kuba undiphakamisile;*

Khange uvumele iintshaba zam zonwatyiswe yintlungu yam.+

 2 Owu Yehova Thixo wam, ndikhalele uncedo kuwe, wandiphilisa.+

 3 Owu Yehova, undikhuphe engcwabeni.*+

Undigcine ndiphila; undisindise ekutshoneni emngxunyeni.*+

 4 Dumisani* uYehova ngengoma, nina bathembekileyo kuye,+

Bulelani igama lakhe elingcwele;*+

 5 Kuba umsindo wakhe ngowomzuzwana,+

Kodwa kona ukuthandwa nguye kuhlala ngonaphakade.+

Nokuba kungakhalwa ngokuhlwa, ekuseni kuyavuywa.+

 6 Xa ndandonwabile, ndathi:

“Soze ndigungqiswe.”*

 7 Owu Yehova, xa wawundithanda wandenza ndomelela okwentaba.+

Kodwa xa wabufihlayo ubuso bakho kum, ndasuka ndoyika.+

 8 Ndaqhubeka ndikhalela kuwe, Yehova;+

Ndaqhubeka ndimcenga uYehova ukuba andithande.

 9 Kuza kunceda ngantoni ukufa kwam,* ukwehlela kwam emngxunyeni?*+

Luza kukudumisa na uthuli?+ Luza kubaxelela na abantu ngokuthembeka kwakho?+

10 Owu yhini Yehova, khawundive uze undenzele ububele.+

Yiba ngumncedi wam, yhini Yehova.+

11 Ukuzila kwam ukutshintshe kwaba kukudanisa;

Ulikhulule ilaphu lokwenza ingxowa ebendilinxibile, waza wandinxibisa uvuyo,

12 Ukuze ndikudumise* ngengoma, ndingathuli.

Owu Yehova Thixo wam, ndiza kukudumisa ngonaphakade.

Kumalathisi. Ingoma emnandi kaDavide.

31 Nguwe, Yehova, endibalekela kuye.+

Kwanga ndingangaze ndihlazeke.+

Ndisindise ngenxa yobulungisa bakho.+

 2 Ndithobele indlebe yakho.*

Khawuleza uze kundihlangula.+

Yiba yindawo yam ekhuselekileyo esentabeni,

Indawo ekhuselekileyo yokundisindisa.+

 3 Kuba uliliwa lam nekhusi lam;+

Uza kundikhokela,+ undikhaphe ngenxa yegama lakho.+

 4 Uza kundikhulula emnatheni abandibekele wona,+

Kuba uyinqaba yam.+

 5 Ndiwuyekela esandleni sakho umoya wam.+

Undikhulule Yehova, Thixo wenyaniso.*+

 6 Ndiyabacaphukela abo bazinikele kwizithixo ezingancedi nganto nezililize;

Kodwa mna, ndithembele kuYehova.

 7 Ndiza kuvuya kakhulu ngenxa yothando lwakho olungagungqiyo,

Kuba uyibonile inkxwaleko yam;+

Uyayibona intlungu yam engathethekiyo.

 8 Khange undinikele esandleni sotshaba,

Kodwa undenza ndime kwindawo ekhuselekileyo.*

 9 Ndenzele ububele, owu yhini Yehova, kuba ndisentlungwini.

Ilihlo lam nomzimba wam wonke zityhafile ngenxa yentlungu.+

10 Ubomi bam buyintlungu nje+

Neminyaka yam igcwele kukugcuma.+

Ndiphelelwa ngamandla ngenxa yesono sam,

Namathambo am aya esiba buthathaka.+

11 Ndiyintlekisa kwiintshaba zam,+

Ingakumbi kubamelwane bam.

Ndicatshukelwa nangabantu abandaziyo;

Xa bendibona phakathi kwabantu bayandibaleka.+

12 Bandikhuphile ezintliziyweni* zabo ibe bandilibele, ngokungathi ndifile;

Ndifana nengqayi eyaphukileyo.

13 Ndive izinto ezininzi ezoyikisayo;

Ndiyangcangcazela kukoyika.+

Bayandipakanyela,

Beceba ukundibulala.+

14 Kodwa ndikuthembile, Yehova.+

Ndithe: “UnguThixo wam.”+

15 Imihla yam* isesandleni sakho.

Ndisindise esandleni seentshaba zam nakwabo banditshutshisayo.+

16 Bukhanyise ubuso bakho kumkhonzi wakho.+

Ndisindise ngothando lwakho olungagungqiyo.

17 Owu Yehova, kwanga ndingangaze ndihlazeke xa ndikubiza.+

Mabahlazeke abenzi-bubi;+

Mabavalwe umlomo engcwabeni.*+

18 Kwanga ingathuliswa imilebe yobuxoki,+

Imilebe ethetha kakubi ngamalungisa, ithetha ngekratshi nangendelelo.

19 Ulunge ngeyona ndlela!+

Unezinto ezininzi ezilungileyo ozigcinele abo bakoyikayo,+

Ozenza phambi komntu wonke, uzenzela abo babalekela kuwe.+

20 Uza kubasithelisa kwindawo yakho efihlakeleyo,+

Ubakhusele kumayelenqe abantu.

Uza kubafihla ekhusini lakho,

Ubakhusele ekuhlaselweni ngenkohlakalo.*+

21 Makadunyiswe uYehova,

Kuba undibonise ngendlela emangalisayo ukuba undithanda ngokungagungqiyo+ kwisixeko esirhangqiweyo.+

22 Mna ke ndoyika ndathi:

“Ndiza kutshabalala phambi kwakho.”+

Kodwa wandiva xa ndandikucenga ndikhalela uncedo.+

23 Mthandeni uYehova, nonke nina bangagungqiyo ekumkhonzeni!+

UYehova uyabakhusela abathembekileyo,+

Kodwa umphindezela ngokugqithiseleyo nabani na onekratshi.+

24 Yibani nesibindi, zomelele iintliziyo zenu,+

Nonke nina balindela kuYehova.+

EkaDavide. IMaskili.*

32 Wonwabile lowo ubuxolelweyo ububi abenzileyo, waxolelwa* nesono sakhe.+

 2 Wonwabile umntu ongabekwa tyala nguYehova,+

Ongenayo kwaphela inkohliso.

 3 Ndathi ndakuthi cwaka, ndasuka ndaphelelwa ngamandla ngenxa yokugcuma kwam imini yonke.+

 4 Kuba imini nobusuku isandla sakho sasindisinda.*+

Athi shwaka amandla am* oku kwamanzi atshiswe lilanga lasehlotyeni. (Selah)

 5 Ekugqibeleni ndasivuma isono sam kuwe;

Andizange ndibufihle ububi endabenzayo.+

Ndathi: “Ndiza kuzivuma izono zam kuYehova.”+

Waza wena wazixolela izono zam.+ (Selah)

 6 Yiyo le nto wonke umntu okuthanda ngokungagungqiyo eza kuthandaza kuwe+

Ngoxa usafumaneka.+

Xa kunjalo, nkqu nezikhukula zamanzi soze zimenze nto.

 7 Wena uyindawo yam yokuzifihla;

Uza kundikhusela xa ndisebunzimeni.+

Ndiza kujikelezwa yintswahla yovuyo ngenxa yokuba undisindisa.+ (Selah)

 8 “Ndiza kukubonisa ndize ndikuyalele indlela omele uhambe ngayo.+

Ndiza kukucebisa, ilihlo lam likuwe.+

 9 Sukuba njengehashe okanye imeyile engenakuqonda,+

Emele ilawulwe ngomkhala ukuze ingaxhuma-xhumi

Ngaphambi kokuba isondele kuwe.”

10 Zininzi iintlungu anazo umenzi-bubi;

Kodwa lowo uthembele ngoYehova uphahlwe luthando lwakhe olungagungqiyo.+

11 Vuyani, nina malungisa, nonwabe ngenxa kaYehova,

Nitsho ngentswahla yovuyo, nonke nina baneentliziyo ezilungileyo.

33 Khwazani nivuya nina malungisa, nivuyela izinto azenzileyo uYehova.+

Bafanele bamdumise abantu abalungileyo.

 2 Bulelani kuYehova ngohadi;

Mdumiseni ngengoma* nidlala umrhubhe oneentambo ezilishumi.

 3 Mculeleni ingoma entsha;+

Yidlaleni ngobuchule kumrhubhe, nikhwaze nivuya.

 4 Kuba ilizwi likaYehova lilungile,+

Ibe yonke into ayenzayo ithembekile.

 5 Uyabuthanda ubulungisa nokusesikweni.*+

Umhlaba ugcwele luthando lukaYehova olungagungqiyo.+

 6 Amazulu enziwe ngelizwi likaYehova,+

Yonke into ekuwo yenziwe* ngumoya womlomo* wakhe.

 7 Uqokelela amanzi olwandle ngathi lidama;+

Ufaka amanzi aqukuqelayo koovimba.

 8 Wonke umhlaba mawumoyike uYehova.+

Bonke abemi bomhlaba mabamangaliswe nguye.

 9 Kuba wathetha, suka kwenzeka;+

Wayalela, kwaza kwaba njalo.+

10 UYehova uye wawagxobha amayelenqe eentlanga,+

Wawenza awaphumelela amacebo ezizwana.+

11 Kodwa zona izigqibo* zikaYehova ziza kuma ngonaphakade;+

Iingcinga zentliziyo yakhe zisuka kwesinye isizukulwana ziye kwesinye.

12 Lonwabile uhlanga olunoThixo onguYehova,+

Abantu abanyulileyo balilifa lakhe.+

13 UYehova ujonga phantsi esezulwini;

Ubabona bonke oonyana babantu.+

14 Ubabukele bonke abantu abasemhlabeni,

Ekwindawo ahlala kuyo.

15 Nguye owenza iintliziyo zabo bonke abantu;

Uhlola zonke izinto abazenzayo.+

16 Akukho kumkani usindiswa bubukhulu bomkhosi wakhe;+

Indoda eligorha ayisindiswa ngamandla ayo.+

17 Ukuthembela ekusindisweni lihashe akuncedi nto;*+

Amandla alo awakuqinisekisi ukuba uza kusinda.

18 Jonga! Ilihlo likaYehova lihlala libagadile abo bamoyikayo,+

Abo bathembele kuthando lwakhe olungagungqiyo,

19 Ukuze abasindise ekufeni,

Nokuze abagcine bephila ngexesha lendlala.+

20 Sijonge kuYehova.

Ungumncedi wethu nekhaka lethu.+

21 Iintliziyo zethu ziyavuya ngenxa yakhe,

Kuba sithembele kwigama lakhe elingcwele.+

22 Malube kuthi uthando lwakho olungagungqiyo, owu yhini Yehova,+

Ngoxa siqhubeka sijonge kuwe.+

EkaDavide, xa wazenza igeza+ phambi koAbhimeleki owamgxothayo, waza wemka.

א [Aleph]

34 Ndiza kumdumisa uYehova ngalo lonke ixesha;

Imilebe yam iza kuhlala imdumisa.

ב [Beth]

 2 Ndiza kuqhayisa ngoYehova;+

Abalulamileyo baza kuva baze bavuye.

ג [Gimel]

 3 Menzeni mkhulu uYehova kunye nam;+

Masiliphakamise kunye igama lakhe.

ד [Daleth]

 4 Ndabuza kuYehova, waza wandiphendula.+

Wandisindisa kuzo zonke izinto endizoyikayo.+

ה [He]

 5 Abo babejonge kuye bakhazimla;

Ubuso babo babungenakuhlazeka.

ז [Zayin]

 6 Olihlwempu wacela uncedo, uYehova weva.

Wamsindisa kuzo zonke iintlungu zakhe.+

ח [Heth]

 7 Ingelosi kaYehova ikhusela abo bamoyikayo,+

Ize ibasindise.+

ט [Teth]

 8 Ziveleni, nizibonele ukuba uYehova ulungile;+

Iyavuya indoda ebalekela kuye.

י [Yod]

 9 Moyikeni uYehova, nonke nina bantu bakhe bangcwele,

Kuba abadingi nto abo bamoyikayo.+

כ [Kaph]

10 Kwaneengonyama ezinamandla zilambile,

Kodwa abo bafuna uYehova, akukho nto ilungileyo baza kuyidinga.+

ל [Lamed]

11 Yizani bonyana bam, ndimameleni;

Ndiza kunifundisa ukoyika uYehova.+

מ [Mem]

12 Ngubani kuni obuthandayo ubomi,

Ongathanda ukonwaba nokuphila ixesha elide?+

נ [Nun]

13 Ngoko makalugade ulwimi lwakhe lungathethi izinto ezimbi,+

Nemilebe yakhe ingathethi izinto ezilahlekisayo.+

ס [Samekh]

14 Makasuke kwizinto ezimbi, enze ezilungileyo;+

Afune uxolo, asebenzele ukulufumana.+

ע [Ayin]

15 Amehlo kaYehova ajonge kumalungisa,+

Neendlebe zakhe zimamele ukukhalela kwawo uncedo.+

פ [Pe]

16 Kodwa uYehova uyabacaphukela abo benza izinto ezimbi,

Ibe uza kubenza bangaphindi bakhunjulwe mntu emhlabeni.+

צ [Tsade]

17 Bakhala, uYehova wabeva;+

Wabasindisa kuzo zonke iintlungu zabo.+

ק [Qoph]

18 UYehova usondele kwabo baphuke intliziyo;+

Uyabasindisa abo batyumkileyo emoyeni.*+

ר [Resh]

19 Zininzi iingxaki* zelungisa,+

Kodwa uYehova ulisindisa kuzo zonke.+

ש [Shin]

20 Ugada onke amathambo alo;

Akukho nalinye elaphuliweyo.+

ת [Taw]

21 Umenzi-bubi uza kubulawa yintlekele;

Abo balicaphukelayo ilungisa baza kufunyaniswa benetyala.

22 UYehova uyabusindisa ubomi babakhonzi bakhe;

Akukho namnye kwabo babalekela kuye oza kufunyaniswa enetyala.+

EkaDavide.

35 Owu Yehova, ndithethelele kwiintshaba zam;+

Yilwa nabo balwa nam.+

 2 Qubula ikhaka lakho, elikhulu nelincinci,+

Uphakame uze undikhusele.+

 3 Baphakamisele umkhonto wakho nezembe lakho lemfazwe* abo bandileqayo.+

Yithi kum: “Ndim okusindisayo.”+

 4 Kwanga bangadana baze bahlazeke abo bazingela ubomi bam.+

Kwanga bangarhoxa bethe nyoxo abo baceba ukunditshabalalisa.

 5 Kwanga banganjengomququ ophetshethwa ngumoya;

Kwanga ingelosi kaYehova ingabadudula.+

 6 Kwanga ingaba mnyama ize ibe mtyibilizi indlela yabo

Njengoko beleqwa yingelosi kaYehova.

 7 Kuba bandibekele umnatha wokundibambisa;

Bandimbele umngxuma ndingenzanga nto.

 8 Kwanga bangafikelwa yintlekele bengalindelanga;

Kwanga bangabanjiswa ngumnatha abandibekele wona;

Kwanga bangawela kuwo, batshabalale.+

 9 Kodwa mna ndiza kuvuya ngenxa kaYehova;

Ndiza kuba nemincili ngenxa yokusindiswa nguye.

10 Onke amathambo am mawathi:

“Owu Yehova, ngubani na onjengawe?

Uyabasindisa abo bangenakuzinceda kwabo banamandla kunabo,+

Abangenakuzinceda namahlwempu kwabo babakhuthuzayo.”+

11 Kuvela amangqina athetha ubuxoki ngam,+

Endibuza izinto endingazaziyo.

12 Okuhle endikwenzayo bakuvuza ngokubi,+

Bendenza ndibe buhlungu.

13 Kodwa mna ndanxiba amalaphu okwenza ingxowa xa babegula;

Ndazivisa intlungu ngokuzila ukutya,

Ibe xa umthandazo wam wawungaphendulwa,*

14 Ndazula-zula ngokungathi ndizilele umhlobo wam okanye umntakwethu;

Ndaqubuda ndisentlungwini oku komntu ozilele umama wakhe.

15 Kodwa xa ndandineengxaki, bavuya baza baqokelelana;

Badibana ukuze bandilalele baze bandihlasele;

Babendihlalele ngokundiyuca.

16 Abo baqaqadekileyo bahlekisa ngam,*

Banditshixizela amazinyo.+

17 Owu Yehova, kuza kude kube nini ubukele?+

Ndisindise kwabo bandihlaselayo,+

Busindise kwezi ngonyama ubomi bam obuxabisekileyo.*+

18 Ndiza kukubulela ebandleni elikhulu;+

Ndiza kukudumisa phakathi kwenginginya yabantu.

19 Sukubavumela baqhayise abo bandizonda ngaphandle kwesizathu;

Sukubavumela baqwabaze ilihlo ngenkohlakalo+ abo bandicaphukela ndingenzanga nto.+

20 Kuba abathethi luxolo,

Kodwa babenzela amayelenqe abo bathanda uxolo elizweni.+

21 Bayivula ibe banzi imilomo yabo bendityhola

Besithi: “Heke! Heke! Sikubhaqile.”

22 Owu Yehova, uzibonele ngokwakho. Sukuthi cwaka.+

Sukumela kude, owu yhini Yehova.+

23 Vuka, uphakame uze undikhusele,

Thixo wam, Yehova, khawundithethelele.

24 Ndigwebe ngobulungisa bakho,+ Yehova Thixo wam;

Sukubavumela bandinyevulele.

25 Sukubavumela bathi: “Heke! Simfumene.”

Ungabayeki bathi: “Simgqibile.”+

26 Mababe neentloni, bahlazeke

Abo bayivuyelayo intlekele yam.

Mabambathiswe ihlazo, baphoxeke abo baziphakamisayo.

27 Kodwa abo bavuyayo kuba ndililungisa mabakhwaze bevuya;

Kwanga bangasoloko besithi:

“Makenziwe mkhulu uYehova, ovuyayo xa ebona umkhonzi wakhe eseluxolweni.”+

28 Nolwimi lwam luza kutsho lubalise* ngobulungisa bakho,+

Luze lukudumise imini yonke.+

Kumalathisi. Eyomkhonzi kaYehova, uDavide.

36 Isono somenzi-bubi sithetha siye kutsho kumazantsi entliziyo yakhe;

Amehlo akhe awamoyiki kwaphela uThixo.+

 2 Kuba emehlweni akhe uzibona ebhetele

Kangangokuba akaziboni aze azicaphukele iimpazamo zakhe.+

 3 Uthetha izinto ezibuhlungu neziqhathayo;

Akanabulumko bokwenza izinto ezintle.

 4 Ebhedini yakhe ucinga amayelenqe enzakalisayo.

Uzimisele ukuhamba endleleni engalunganga;

Akazenyanyi izinto ezimbi.

 5 Owu Yehova, uthando lwakho olungagungqiyo lufikelela emazulwini;+

Ukuthembeka kwakho kuphezulu emafini.

 6 Ubulungisa bakho bunjengeentaba eziphakamileyo;*+

Izigwebo zakho zinjengamanzi anzulu.+

Usindisa* umntu nerhamncwa, wena Yehova.+

 7 Luxabiseke ngeyona ndlela uthando lwakho olungagungqiyo Thixo!+

Oonyana babantu babalekela ethunzini lamaphiko akho.+

 8 Basela banele kwintabalala yobutyebi bendlu* yakho,+

Ibe ubaseza kumfula wamanzi akho amnandi.+

 9 Ukuwe umthombo wobomi;+

Ukukhanya sikubona ngokukhanya kwakho.+

10 Qhubeka ubathanda ngokungagungqiyo abo bakwaziyo,+

Ubenzela nobulungisa abo baneentliziyo ezilungileyo.+

11 Sukuyeka unyawo lwabanekratshi lundinyathele

Okanye ndidudulwe sisandla sabantu abangalunganga.

12 Bawele apho abenzi-bubi;

Babethwe kanobom kangangokuba abakwazi kuvuka.+

EkaDavide.

א [Aleph]

37 Sukuzikhathaza* ngabenzi-bubi

Okanye ubamonele abo bangalunganga.+

 2 Kuba baza kubuna ngokukhawuleza njengengca,+

Baza kuntshwenca njengengca eluhlaza.

ב [Beth]

 3 Thembela ngoYehova, wenze okulungileyo;+

Hlala emhlabeni,* uze uthembeke.+

 4 Vuya kakhulu ngoYehova,

Uza kukunika izinto ezifunwa yintliziyo yakho.

ג [Gimel]

 5 Yiyekele* kuYehova indlela yakho;+

Thembela ngaye, uza kukuxhasa.+

 6 Uza kubenza bukhanye njengokukhanya kwasemini ubulungisa bakho,

Nokusesikweni kwakho* kube njengelanga emini.

ד [Daleth]

 7 Yithi cwaka phambi koYehova+

Uze ulindele kuye ngomonde.

Makangakucaphukisi umntu

Ophumelelayo kumaqhinga akhe.+

ה [He]

 8 Wuyeke umsindo, uyilahle nengqumbo;+

Sukucaphuka uze wenze izinto ezimbi.*

 9 Kuba abantu abenza izinto ezimbi baza kutshatyalaliswa,+

Kodwa umhlaba uza kuba ngowabo bathembela ngoYehova.+

ו [Waw]

10 Sekusele ithutyana, bangabikho abenzi-bubi;+

Xa ujonga apho bebekho,

Baza kube bengasekho.+

11 Kodwa umhlaba uza kuba ngowabalulamileyo,+

Ibe baza kuphila kamnandi kukho uxolo oluninzi.+

ז [Zayin]

12 Umntu ongcolileyo ulenzela amayelenqe ilungisa,+

Yaye ulitshixizela amazinyo.

13 Kodwa uYehova uza kumhleka,

Kuba uyazi ukuba iyeza imini yakhe.+

ח [Heth]

14 Abenzi-bubi bakhupha amakrele abo baze bagobe* izaphetha zabo,

Ukuze bawise abacinezelekileyo namahlwempu,

Baxhaxhe amalungisa.

15 Kodwa amakrele abo aza kuhlaba kwezabo iintliziyo;+

Izaphetha zabo ziza kwaphuka.

ט [Teth]

16 Kubhetele into encinci elinayo ilungisa

Kunobutyebi babenzi-bubi abaninzi.+

17 Kuba ziza kwaphulwa iingalo zabantu abenza izinto ezimbi,

Kodwa uYehova uza kuwaxhasa amalungisa.

י [Yod]

18 UYehova uyazazi izinto ezehlela amalungisa,*

Ibe ilifa lawo liza kuhlala likho ngonaphakade.+

19 Awazukuhlazeka ngexesha lentlekele;

Aza kuba nokuninzi ngexesha lendlala.

כ [Kaph]

20 Kodwa abenza izinto ezimbi baza kutshabalala;+

Iintshaba zikaYehova ziza kunyamalala okwamadlelo aluhlaza;

Ziza kuthi shwaka okomsi.

ל [Lamed]

21 Umenzi-bubi uyaboleka angabuyisi,

Kodwa ilungisa linobubele, liyakuthanda nokupha.+

22 Umhlaba uza kuba ngowabo basikelelweyo nguThixo,

Kodwa abaqalekisiweyo nguye baza kutshatyalaliswa.+

מ [Mem]

23 UYehova uyibonisa* indlela emayihambe ngayo indoda+

Xa ezithanda iindlela zayo.+

24 Nokuba ingawa, soze inkaleke phantsi,+

Kuba uYehova uyibamba ngesandla.+

נ [Nun]

25 Ndakha ndangumfana, ngoku ndimdala,

Kodwa andikamboni umntu olilungisa elahliwe,+

Okanye abantwana bakhe bedinga isonka.*+

26 Usoloko eboleka abanye izinto,+

Ibe abantwana bakhe baza kusikelelwa.

ס [Samekh]

27 Yahlukana nezinto ezimbi uze wenze ezilungileyo,+

Ibe uza kuphila ngonaphakade.

28 Kuba uYehova uthanda ubulungisa,

Ibe akazukubalahla abo banamathela kuye.+

ע [Ayin]

Baza kusoloko begadiwe;+

Kodwa inzala yabenzi-bubi iza kutshatyalaliswa.+

29 Umhlaba uza kuba ngowamalungisa,+

Ibe aza kuhlala kuwo ngonaphakade.+

פ [Pe]

30 Umlomo welungisa uthetha ubulumko,*

Nolwimi lwalo luthetha ngobulungisa.+

31 Umthetho kaThixo walo usentliziyweni yalo;+

Alizukutyibilika endleleni yalo.+

צ [Tsade]

32 Umenzi-bubi uyalilalela ilungisa,

Ibe ufuna ukulibulala.

33 Kodwa uYehova akazukuliyekela,+

Okanye alifumanise linetyala xa ligwetywa.+

ק [Qoph]

34 Thembela ngoYehova uze uhambe endleleni yakhe,

Ibe yena uza kukuphakamisa ukuze umhlaba ube ngowakho.

Xa abenzi-bubi betshatyalaliswa,+ uza kubabona.+

ר [Resh]

35 Ndiye ndambona umntu okhohlakeleyo nongcolileyo

Enaba okomthi oluhlaza kumhlaba wawo.+

36 Kodwa wasuka wanyamalala, akabikho;+

Ndaqhubeka ndimkhangela, andamfumana.+

ש [Sin]

37 Uze umqaphele ongenakusoleka,

Uhlale umjongile umntu olilungisa,+

Kuba uza kuhlala eseluxolweni.+

38 Kodwa bonke abenza izinto ezingalunganga baza kutshatyalaliswa;

Abenzi-bubi baza kupheliswa.+

ת [Taw]

39 NguYehova osindisa amalungisa;+

Uyinqaba yawo ngexesha lobunzima.+

40 UYehova uza kuwanceda awasindise.+

Uza kuwasindisa kubantu abenza izinto ezimbi,

Kuba abalekela kuye.+

Ingoma emnandi kaDavide, esisikhumbuzo.

38 Owu Yehova, ungandiluleki ucaphukile,

Undilungise unomsindo.+

 2 Kuba iintolo zakho zingene zatshona kum,

Nesandla sakho sindicinezele kabuhlungu.+

 3 Wonke umzimba wam uyagula ngenxa yokucaphuka kwakho.

Akukho luxolo emathanjeni am ngenxa yesono sam.+

 4 Kuba ndintyumpa-ntyumpeka ezonweni zam;+

Zindisinda okomthwalo onzima.

 5 Izilonda zam zinuka phu, ziyachiza

Ngenxa yobudenge bam.

 6 Ndineentlungu neenzingo;

Imini yonke ndihamba-hamba ndibuhlungu.

 7 Ndiyapena-pena ziintlungu;*

Umzimba wam wonke uyagula.+

 8 Ndisuke ndandindisholo, ndatyumka ngokupheleleyo;

Ndiyagcuma* ngenxa yentliziyo ebuhlungu.

 9 Owu Yehova, uzazi zonke izinto endizifunayo,

Uyakuva konke ukuncwina kwam.

10 Ndinovalo, ndiphelelwe ngamandla,

Namehlo am abona luzizi.+

11 Abahlobo bam bahambela kude kum ngenxa yesibetho sam,

Nabo ndibaqhelileyo bahambela kude.

12 Abo bazingela ubomi bam bandibekele imigibe;

Abo bafuna ukundenzakalisa bandenzela amayelenqe;+

Bathetha ubuxoki imini yonke.

13 Kodwa zange ndibamamele, oku komntu ongevayo;+

Ndaba ngathi andikwazi kuthetha, andawuvula umlomo wam.+

14 Ndaba njengomntu ongevayo,

Andakhupha nelimdaka ukuze ndizithethelele.

15 Kuba ndandilindele kuwe, Yehova,+

Ibe wandiphendula, Yehova Thixo wam.+

16 Kuba ndathi: “Mabangaze baqhayise ngam

Okanye bahlekise ngam xa unyawo lwam lutyibilika.”

17 Kuba kwakusele kancinci ukuba ndiwe,

Ibe ndandityiwa ziintlungu.+

18 Ndasivuma isiphoso sam;+

Ndakhathazeka ngenxa yesono sam.+

19 Kodwa iintshaba zam zizigantsontso* ezinamandla,*

Baninzi nabo bandicaphukela ndingabenzanga nto.

20 Izinto ezilungileyo endazenzayo bazibuyekeza ngezimbi;

Bazama ukundiyekisa ukwenza izinto ezilungileyo.

21 Sukundishiya, Yehova.

Owu Thixo wam, sukuchasela kum.+

22 Khawuleza uzokundinceda,

Owu Yehova, wena undisindisayo.+

Kumalathisi; idlalwa ngeYedutun.*+ Ingoma emnandi kaDavide.

39 Ndathi: “Ndiza kuyigada indlela yam

Ukuze ndingoni ngolwimi lwam.+

Ndiza kuwuvala umlomo wam+

Ukuba nje kusekho umenzi-bubi phambi kwam.”

 2 Ndathula ndathi cwaka;+

Andizange ndithethe nangezinto ezilungileyo,

Kodwa intlungu yam yayingathetheki.*

 3 Intliziyo yam yaba shushu ngaphakathi kum.

Ndathi ndisacinga, waqhubeka uvutha umlilo.

Emva koko ndathi:

 4 “Owu Yehova, ndenze ndisiqonde isiphelo sam,

Ndiqonde nokuba zingakanani iintsuku zam,+

Ukuze ndiyazi indlela obufutshane ngayo ubomi bam.

 5 Iintsuku zam uzenze zambalwa nyhani;*+

Nobude bobomi bam abuyonto phambi kwakho.+

Ngokuqinisekileyo umntu, nangona ebonakala ekhuselekile, ngumphunga nje.+ (Selah)

 6 Ngokuqinisekileyo umntu uhamba-hamba njengesithunzi.

Uphithizelela* into engekhoyo.

Uqokelela ubutyebi, engazi nokuba ngubani oza kubusebenzisa.+

 7 Owu Yehova, ndingathemba ntoni?

Nguwe kuphela ithemba lam.

 8 Ndisindise kuzo zonke izono zam.+

Ungasivumeli isidenge sindenze intlekisa.

 9 Ndaqhubeka ndithule,+

Andakwazi ukuwuvula umlomo wam,

Kuba yonke le nto yayenziwe nguwe.+

10 Sisuse kum isibetho sakho.

Ndiphelelwe ngamandla kuba isandla sakho siyandibetha.

11 Uyamlungisa umntu ngokumohlwayela isiphoso sakhe;+

Izinto zakhe azithandayo uzidla okwenundu.*

Ngokuqinisekileyo bonke abantu bangumphunga nje.+ (Selah)

12 Wuve umthandazo wam, Yehova,

Ndimamele xa ndikhalela uncedo.+

Sukuzibetha ngoyaba iinyembezi zam.

Kuba ndingumphambukeli kuwe,+

Umntu wasemzini ogqithayo, njengabo bonke ookhokho bam.+

13 Yeka ukundijamela, nditsho ndonwabe

Ngaphambi kokuba ndife, ndingabikho.”

Kumalathisi. EkaDavide. Ingoma emnandi.

40 Ndathembela ngoYehova ngentliziyo yam yonke,

Waza wagoba ukuze andimamele,* wakuva ukukhalela kwam uncedo.+

 2 Wandinyusa wandikhupha emngxunyeni ogqumayo,

Emgxobhozweni wodaka,

Waza iinyawo zam wazimisa phezu kwelitye elikhulu;

Wazenza zema ngxi.

 3 Emva koko wafaka ingoma entsha emlonyeni wam,+

Ingoma yokudumisa uThixo wethu.

Abaninzi baza kuyibona loo nto, boyike

Baze bathembele ngoYehova.

 4 Wonwabile umntu othembela ngoYehova

Nongajongi kwabo badelelayo, nakwabo bangamaxoki.

 5 Zininzi izinto ozenzileyo,

Owu Yehova Thixo wam,

Kwanemisebenzi yakho emangalisayo nezinto ozicingayo ngathi.+

Akukho mntu unokuthelekiswa nawe;+

Ukuba bendinokuzama ukuthetha ngemisebenzi yakho,

Bendingenakukwazi nokuyibala ngenxa yokuba mininzi!+

 6 Awufunanga mbingelelo namnikelo,*+

Kodwa uzivulile iindlebe zam ukuze ndive.+

Awucelanga minikelo itshiswayo naminikelo yesono.+

 7 Ngoko ndathi: “Ndizile.

Emsongweni* kubhaliwe ngam.+

 8 Ndikuthanda* nyhani ukwenza ukuthanda kwakho, Thixo wam,+

Nomthetho wakho usentliziyweni yam.+

 9 Ndivakalisa iindaba ezilungileyo zobulungisa ebandleni elikhulu.+

Jonga! Andiyinqandi imilebe yam,+

Njengoko nawe usazi, Yehova.

10 Andibunkonyi entliziyweni yam ubulungisa bakho.

Ndiyabalisa ngokuthembeka nokusindisa kwakho.

Uthando lwakho olungagungqiyo nenyaniso yakho andizifihlanga ebandleni elikhulu.”+

11 Owu Yehova, sukundibandeza inceba yakho.

Kwanga uthando lwakho olungagungqiyo nenyaniso yakho zingahlala zindikhusela.+

12 Zindivelela macala onke iingxaki, andikwazi nokuzibala.+

Ndlela le ezininzi ngayo iziphoso zam, zixabe endleleni;+

Zininzi ngaphezu kweenwele zentloko yam,

Yaye ndiphelelwe ngamandla.

13 Ndicela undisindise Yehova.+

Owu yhini Yehova, khawuleza uzokundinceda.+

14 Mabadane, bahlazeke

Bonke abo bazingela ubomi bam.

Mabarhoxe behlazekile

Abo bayivuyelayo intlekele yam.

15 Mabathi nyoxo ngenxa yokuhlazeka

Abo bathi kum: “Tshotsho! Tshotsho!”

16 Kodwa mabavuye babe nemincili+

Abo bakufunayo.+

Abo bayithandayo indlela osindisa ngayo, mabahlale besithi:

“Makenziwe mkhulu uYehova.”+

17 Kodwa mna ndilihlwempu elingakwazi nokuzinceda;

Kwanga uYehova angandihoya.

Wena ungumncedi wam nomsindisi wam.+

Sukulibazisa, Thixo wam.+

Kumalathisi. Ingoma emnandi kaDavide.

41 Wonwabile nabani na olicingelayo ihlwempu;+

UYehova uza kumsindisa ngemini yentlekele.

 2 UYehova uza kumkhusela, aze ahlale ephila.

Kuza kuthiwa wonwabile emhlabeni;+

Soze uvumele iintshaba zakhe zenze unothanda* kuye.+

 3 UYehova uza kumxhasa xa egula esebhedini;+

Ngokuqinisekileyo uza kumonga xa egula.

 4 Kuba ndathi: “Owu yhini Yehova, ndenzele inceba.+

Ndiphilise,+ kuba ndikonile.”+

 5 Kodwa iintshaba zam zindikhohlakalele, zithi:

“Uza kufa nini na lo, acinywe igama?”

 6 Xa eze kundibona omnye wazo, intliziyo yakhe ithetha ubuxoki.

Uqokelela ulwimi aza kuluthetha,

Aze ahambe elusasaza.

 7 Bayandihleba bonke abandenyanyayo;

Bandicebela iyelenqe, besithi:

 8 “Wehlelwe yinto embi;

Ewile nje, akazukuphinda avuke.”+

 9 Nkqu nendoda ebendihleli ngoxolo nayo, ebendiyithembile,+

Ebisitya isonka sam, indiphakamisele isithende.*+

10 Kodwa ndicela wena Yehova undenzele inceba, undiphakamise,

Ukuze ndiziphindezele.

11 Ndiza kwazi ngale nto ukuba uyandithanda:

Xa utshaba lwam lungakwazi ukukhwaza luvuyela ukundoyisa.+

12 Mna undiphakamisile ngenxa yokungasoleki kwam;+

Uza kundigcina phambi kwakho ngonaphakade.+

13 Makadunyiswe uYehova uThixo kaSirayeli,

Makadunyiswe ngonaphakade.+

Amen, Amen.

INCWADI YESIBINI

(IiNdumiso 42-72)

Kumalathisi. IMaskili* yoonyana bakaKora.+

42 Njengexhamakazi eliyifuna ngamandla imisinga yamanzi,

Nam ndikufuna ngamandla Thixo.

 2 Ndimnxanelwe uThixo, uThixo ophilayo.+

Ndingeza nini ndibonakale phambi koThixo?+

 3 Iinyembezi zam zikukutya kwam imini nobusuku;

Abantu bandinxwala imini yonke besithi: “Uphi lo Thixo wakho?”+

 4 Ndiyazikhumbula ezi zinto, ibe ndikhupha yonke into esentliziyweni yam,

Kuba ndandidla ngokuhamba nesihlwele sabantu;

Ndandidla ngokuthi chu phambi kwabo sisiya endlini kaThixo,

Sasisitsho ngentswahla, sivuya yaye sibulela,

Sisisihlwele esibhiyozela itheko.+

 5 Kutheni ndikhathazeke kangaka?+

Kutheni ndingcungcutheka ngaphakathi?

Lindela kuThixo,+

Kuba ndiseza kumdumisa ekubeni enguMsindisi wam Omkhulu.+

 6 Thixo wam, ndikhathazeke gqitha.+

Yiyo le nto ndikukhumbula,+

Ndikwilizwe laseYordan nakwiincopho zeHermon,

KwiNtaba IMizare.*

 7 Amanzi anzulu abiza amanzi anzulu

Xa kuvakala isandi seengxangxasi zakho.

Onke amaza akho andongamele.+

 8 Emini uYehova uza kundithanda ngokungagungqiyo,

Ndize ebusuku ndicule ngaye, ndithandaze kuThixo wobomi bam.+

 9 Ndiza kuthi kuThixo oliliwa lam:

“Kutheni undilibele?+

Kutheni ndimele ndisoloko ndibuhlungu ngenxa yokucinezelwa lutshaba lwam?”+

10 Iintshaba zam ziyandikhohlakalela zifuna ukundibulala;*

Zindinxwala imini yonke zisithi: “Uphi lo Thixo wakho?”+

11 Kutheni ndikhathazeke kangaka?

Kutheni ndingcungcutheka ngaphakathi?

Lindela kuThixo,+

Kuba ndiseza kumdumisa ekubeni enguMsindisi Omkhulu noThixo wam.+

43 Ndigwebe Thixo,+

Ndithethelele+ kuhlanga olungathembekanga.

Ndikhusele kumntu oqhathayo nongenabulungisa.

 2 Kaloku unguThixo wam, inqaba yam.+

Kutheni undilahlile nje?

Kutheni ndimele ndihamba-hambe ndibuhlungu ngenxa yokucinezelwa lutshaba lwam?+

 3 Thumela ukukhanya kwakho nenyaniso yakho.+

Kwanga zingandikhokela;+

Kwanga zingandisa entabeni yakho engcwele nasententeni yakho engcwele nezukileyo.+

 4 Ndiza kuya esibingelelweni sikaThixo,+

KuThixo endivuya ndinemincili ngaye.

Ndiza kukudumisa ngohadi,+ owu Thixo, Thixo wam.

 5 Kutheni ndikhathazeke kangaka?

Kutheni ndingcungcutheka ngaphakathi?

Lindela kuThixo,+

Kuba ndiseza kumdumisa ekubeni enguMsindisi Omkhulu noThixo wam.+

Kumalathisi. Eyoonyana bakaKora.+ IMaskili.*

44 Owu Thixo, sivile ngeendlebe zethu,

Basibalisele ookhokho bethu+

Izinto owazenza ngemihla yabo,

Ngemihla yakudala.

 2 Wazigxotha ngesakho isandla iintshaba,+

Wabahlalisa apho ookhokho bethu.+

Wazikroboza iintlanga waza wazigxotha.+

 3 Abazange balifumane ngelabo ikrele ilizwe,+

Ingazange ibe zizixhobo zabo ezabenza boyisa.+

Kodwa kwaba ngesandla sakho sasekunene, ingalo yakho+ nokukhanya kobuso bakho,

Kuba wawubathanda.+

 4 Owu Thixo, unguKumkani wam;+

Yalela ukuba uYakobi oyise ngokupheleleyo.*

 5 Siza kuzigxotha ngamandla akho iintshaba zethu;+

Siza kubanyathela egameni lakho abo basihlaselayo.+

 6 Kuba andithembelanga ngesam isaphetha,

Nekrele lam alikwazi kundisindisa.+

 7 Nguwe owasisindisa kwiintshaba zethu,+

Wahlaza nabo basicaphukelayo.

 8 Siza kumdumisa imini yonke uThixo,

Ibe siza kulibulela ngonaphakade igama lakho. (Selah)

 9 Kodwa ngoku usilahlile waza wasihlazisa,

Futhi awuphumi nemikhosi yethu.

10 Uqhubeka usenza sirhoxe kutshaba lwethu;+

Abo basicaphukelayo bazenzela unothanda kwizinto zethu.

11 Usinikela kwabo basiqwenga okweegusha,

Kwaye usisasaze ezintlangeni.+

12 Ubathengisa ngento engekhoyo abantu bakho;+

Awenzi kwanzuzo ngexabiso obathengisa ngalo.

13 Usenza intlekisa kubamelwane bethu,

Into yokugxekwa nokugezelwa ngabo basingqongileyo.

14 Usenza into yokuthukwa* ziintlanga,+

Into yokunikinelwa intloko zizizwana.

15 Ndiziva ndihlazekile imini yonke,

Iintloni zindongamele,

16 Ngenxa yokuva ilizwi labo basinxwalayo, besithuka,

Ngenxa yotshaba lwethu oluziphindezelayo.

17 Nakuba sehlelwe yiyo yonke le nto, khange sikulibale,

Khange sisaphule nesivumelwano sakho.+

18 Intliziyo yethu ayibhadulanga,

Singakhange siyishiye nendlela yakho.

19 Kodwa wena usityumzele kwindawo yoodyakalashe,

Wasogquma ngethunzi elimnyama thsu.

20 Ukuba sililibele igama likaThixo wethu

Okanye solulela izandla zethu komnye uthixo,

21 Akazukuyibhaqa na uThixo loo nto?

Kaloku uyazazi iimfihlelo ezisentliziyweni.+

22 Sibulawa yonke le mihla ngenxa yakho;

Sesifana nje neegusha zokuxhelwa.+

23 Khawuvuke, yhini Yehova, uleleleni?+

Phakama! Sukusilahla umphelo.+

24 Kutheni ubufihlile nje ubuso bakho?

Kutheni uyilibala indlela esisentlungwini nesicinezelwe ngayo?

25 Kuba sithotyelwe eluthulini;

Imizimba yethu icinezelwe phantsi.+

26 Vuka usincede!+

Sisindise* ngenxa yothando lwakho olungagungqiyo.+

Kumalathisi; mayidlalwe “ngeeNyibiba.” Eyoonyana bakaKora.+ IMaskili.* Ingoma yothando.

45 Intliziyo yam ivuselelwa yinto emnandi.

Ndithi: “Ingoma yam* ingokumkani.”+

Kwanga ulwimi lwam lungaba lusiba+ lomkhupheli* olichule.+

 2 Uyeyona nzwana phakathi koonyana babantu.

Emilebeni yakho kuphuma amazwi amyoli.+

Yiyo le nto uThixo ekusikelele ngonaphakade.+

 3 Bhinqa ikrele lakho+ ecaleni, wena unamandla,+

Ngesidima nangobukhulu bakho.+

 4 Hamba uyokoyisa* ngobukhulu bakho;+

Phalisa endleleni yenyaniso nokuthobeka nobulungisa,+

Yaye isandla sakho sasekunene siza kwenza* izinto ezimangalisayo.

 5 Iintolo zakho zibukhali, ziwisa izizwana ngaphantsi kwakho;+

Zigqobhoza iintliziyo zeentshaba zikakumkani.+

 6 UThixo uyitrone yakho ngonaphakade kanaphakade;+

Nentonga yobukumkani bakho yintonga yobulungisa.+

 7 Ubuthandile ubulungisa,+ wabucaphukela ububi.+

Yiyo le nto uThixo, uThixo wakho, ekuthambise+ ngeoli yovuyo+ ngaphezu kwabanye abantu.

 8 Zonke iimpahla zakho ziqholwe ngemore nekhala nekasiya;

Kwindlu kakumkani enkulu ehonjiswe ngeempondo zendlovu, kudlalwa imirhubhe ekwenza wonwabe.

 9 Phakathi kwamanenekazi akho abekekileyo, kukho iintombi zookumkani.

Ukumkanikazi umi ngasekunene kwakho, ehombe ngegolide yakwaOfire.+

10 Mamela, ntombi yam, qaphela uze usondeze indlebe yakho;

Balibale abantu bakowenu nendlu katata wakho.

11 Ukumkani uza kubufuna shushu ubuhle bakho,

Kuba uyinkosi yakho,

Ngoko qubuda kuye.

12 Intombi yaseTire iza kuza iphethe isipho;

Ezona zityebi phakathi kwabantu ziza kuzicengezela kuwe.*

13 Phakathi endlini kakumkani intombi yokumkani iyakhazimla;

Isinxibo sayo sihonjiswe ngegolide.

14 Iza kuziswa kukumkani inxibe iimpahla ezilukiweyo.*

Iintombi eziyilandelayo ezingazange zalala nandoda ziziswa kuwe.

15 Ziza kuziswa ngemihlali nokuvuya;

Ziza kungena kwindlu kakumkani.

16 Oonyana bakho baza kuthatha indawo yookhokho bakho.

Uza kubenza iinkosana emhlabeni wonke.+

17 Ndiza kulazisa igama lakho kuzo zonke izizukulwana ezizayo.+

Yiyo le nto izizwana ziza kukudumisa ngonaphakade kanaphakade.

Kumalathisi. Eyoonyana bakaKora.+ Mayidlalwe ngeAlamoti.* Ingoma.

46 UThixo uyindawo yokubalekela namandla ethu,+

Uncedo olufumaneka ngokukhawuleza xa sisentlungwini.+

 2 Ngoko soze soyike, nokuba umhlaba ungatshintsha,

Nokuba iintaba zingatshona enzulwini yolwandle,+

 3 Nokuba amanzi angagquma, alephuze amagwebu,+

Nokuba iintaba zingagungqa ngenxa yokugquma kwawo. (Selah)

 4 Kukho umlambo onemifula esivuyisayo isixeko sikaThixo,+

Intente engcwele nezukileyo yOyena Uphakamileyo.

 5 UThixo uphakathi kweso sixeko;+ asinakuze sitshatyalaliswe.

UThixo uza kusinceda ekuthini qheke kokusa.+

 6 Iintlanga zaxokozela, izizwe zabhukuqwa;

Lahlokoma ilizwi lakhe, wanyibilika umhlaba.+

 7 UYehova wemikhosi unathi;+

UThixo kaYakobi uyindawo ekhuselekileyo esibalekela kuyo.* (Selah)

 8 Yizani nibone imisebenzi kaYehova,

Indlela enze ngayo izinto ezimangalisayo emhlabeni.

 9 Uphelisa iimfazwe emhlabeni wonke.+

Waphula isaphetha aze awuthi qwatha umkhonto,

Atshise neenqwelo zokulwa.*

10 “Nikezelani, nazi ukuba ndinguThixo.

Ndiza kuphakanyiswa phakathi kweentlanga;+

Ndiza kuphakanyiswa emhlabeni.”+

11 UYehova wemikhosi unathi;+

UThixo kaYakobi uyindawo ekhuselekileyo esibalekela kuyo.+ (Selah)

Kumalathisi. Eyoonyana bakaKora.+ Ingoma emnandi.

47 Qhwabani izandla, nonke nina zizwana.

Khwazani kuba noyisile nize nidumise uThixo ngentswahla yovuyo.

 2 Kuba uYehova, Oyena Uphakamileyo, uyamangalisa;+

UnguKumkani omkhulu emhlabeni wonke.+

 3 Uzithoba zibe phantsi kwethu izizwana;

Iintlanga uzifaka phantsi kweenyawo zethu.+

 4 Usikhethela ilifa,+

Iqhayiya likaYakobi, lowo amthandayo.+ (Selah)

 5 UThixo uye wenyuka ngentswahla yovuyo;

UYehova unyuke ngesandi sophondo.*

 6 Mdumiseni ngengoma* uThixo, mdumiseni ngengoma.

Mdumiseni ngengoma uKumkani wethu, mdumiseni ngengoma.

 7 Kuba uThixo nguKumkani womhlaba wonke;+

Mdumiseni ngengoma, nenze ngobulumko.

 8 UThixo uye wanguKumkani ezintlangeni.+

UThixo uhlala etroneni yakhe engcwele.

 9 Iinkokheli zabantu ziye zadibana

Kunye nabantu boThixo ka-Abraham.

Kuba abalawuli bomhlaba ngabakaThixo.*

Ukwindawo ephakame kakhulu.+

Ingoma. Ingoma emnandi yoonyana bakaKora.+

48 UYehova mkhulu yaye ngoyena ufanelwe kukudunyiswa

Kwisixeko soThixo wethu, entabeni yakhe engcwele.

 2 INtaba YeZiyon ekwezona ndawo zithe qelele zasemntla,+

Isixeko soKumkani Ozukileyo,+

Intle kwindawo yayo ephakamileyo, ibe ivuyisa umhlaba wonke.

 3 Kwiinqaba zayo ezikhuselekileyo,

UThixo uye wenza kwaziwa ukuba uyindawo ekhuselekileyo yokubalekela.*+

 4 Kuba jonga! ookumkani babizene;*

Bahambe kunye.

 5 Bathe bakuyibona, bamangala.

Baye baphakuzela, babaleka besoyika.

 6 Baye bafikelwa kukungcangcazela apho,

Inimba efana neyomfazi ozalayo.

 7 Uzaphula ngomoya wasempuma iinqanawa zaseTarshishe.

 8 Le nto sayivayo, sitsho sazibonela ngawethu amehlo

Kwisixeko sikaYehova wemikhosi, isixeko soThixo wethu.

UThixo uza kusizinzisa ngonaphakade.+ (Selah)

 9 Owu Thixo, sicingisisile ngothando lwakho olungagungqiyo,+

Phakathi etempileni yakho.

10 Njengegama lakho, Thixo, indumiso yakho

Ifikelela kwezona ndawo zikude zomhlaba.+

Isandla sakho sasekunene sigcwaliswe bubulungisa.+

11 Kwanga ingaba nemihlali iNtaba YeZiyon,+

Kwanga iidolophu* zakwaYuda zingavuya ngenxa yezigwebo zakho.+

12 Jikelezani iZiyon; yijikelezeni yonke,

Nibale iinqaba zayo.+

13 Jongisisani imisele yongqameko lwayo.*+

Hlolani iinqaba zayo ezikhuselekileyo,

Ukuze nibalise ngazo kwizizukulwana ezizayo.

14 Kuba lo Thixo nguThixo wethu+ ngonaphakade kanaphakade.

Uza kusikhokela ngonaphakade.*+

Kumalathisi. Eyoonyana bakaKora.+ Ingoma emnandi.

49 Yivani oku, nonke zizwana.

Bekani indlebe, nonke bemi bomhlaba,*

 2 Nina bancinci nani bakhulu,*

Nina zityebi nani mahlwempu.

 3 Umlomo wam uza kuthetha izinto zobulumko,

Neengcinga zentliziyo yam+ ziza kuba zezokuqonda.

 4 Ndiza kumamelisisa xa kuthethwa ngemizekeliso;

Ndiza kuzichaza izafobe zam ngohadi.

 5 Kutheni ndifanele ndoyike ngamaxesha obubi,+

Xa ndingqongwe yinkohlakalo yabo* bafuna ukundibhukuqa?

 6 Abo bathembele ngobutyebi babo+

Nabaqhayisa ngobutyebi babo obuninzi,+

 7 Akukho namnye kubo onokumkhulula umntakwabo

Okanye onokumhlawulela kuThixo,+

 8 (Ixabiso lokuhlawulela ubomi babo lixhome

Kangangokuba abanakuze balifikelele);

 9 Ukuze aphile ngonaphakade angaliboni ingcwaba.+

10 Uyabona ukuba kwanezilumko ziyafa;

Izidenge nabangasebenzisi ngqondo baza kutshabalala kunye,+

Babushiyele abanye ubutyebi babo.+

11 Banqwenela ukuba izindlu zabo zihlale ngonaphakade,

Nokuba iintente zabo zihlale ukusuka kwesinye isizukulwana ukuya kwesinye.

Imihlaba yabo bayibiza ngamagama abo.

12 Kodwa umntu, nangona ehlonitshwa, akazukuhlala ephila;+

Akakho ngcono kunamarhamncwa atshabalalayo.+

13 Leyo ke yindlela yabo bazizidenge+

Nabo babalandelayo, abawathandayo amazwi abo angancedi nganto. (Selah)

14 Baza kuya engcwabeni* njengeegusha.

Ukufa kuza kubalusa;

Amalungisa aza kubalawula+ kwakusasa.

Baza kutshabalala kungasali nomkhondo lo wabo;+

Ikhaya labo liza kuba lingcwaba,*+ alizukuba yindlu kakumkani.+

15 Kodwa mna, uThixo uza kundikhulula emandleni* engcwaba,*+

Kuba uza kunditsala andikhuphe. (Selah)

16 Sukoyika xa ubona umntu esiba sisityebi,

Xa uzuko lwendlu yakhe lusanda,

17 Kuba xa esifa akukho nto anokuhamba nayo;+

Uzuko lwakhe aluzukuhamba naye.+

18 Kuba xa ebesaphila ebeqhayisa.+

(Abantu bayakuncoma xa uphumelela.)+

19 Kodwa ekugqibeleni wehlelwa sesookhokho bakhe.

Abasoze baphinde bakubone ukukhanya.

20 Umntu ongayiqondiyo le nto, nangona ehlonitshwa,+

Akakho ngcono kunamarhamncwa atshabalalayo.

Ingoma emnandi ka-Asafu.+

50 UThixo woothixo, uYehova,*+ uthethile;

Ubiza umhlaba

Ukusuka empumalanga ukuya entshonalanga.

 2 UThixo ubengezela ephuma eZiyon, indawo egqwesileyo ngobuhle.+

 3 UThixo wethu uza kuza, ibe akazukuhlala ethule.+

Kukho umlilo odlayo phambi kwakhe,+

Ibe ujikelezwe sisivuthu-vuthu sesaqhwithi esikhulu.+

 4 Ubiza amazulu nomhlaba,+

Ukuze agwebe abantu bakhe:+

 5 “Baqokelele beze kum abo bathembekileyo,

Abo babingelelayo besenza isivumelwano nam.”+

 6 Amazulu axela ubulungisa bakhe,

Kuba nguThixo ngokwakhe uMgwebi.+ (Selah)

 7 “Khanimamele kaloku bantu bam, ndithethe;

Sirayeli, ndiza kuveza ubungqina ngawe.+

NdinguThixo, uThixo wakho.+

 8 Andikululeki ngenxa yemibingelelo yakho,

Ndingakululeki nangale minikelo yakho etshiswa ngokupheleleyo, ihlala iphambi kwam.+

 9 Andidingi kuthatha nkunzi yankomo endlini yakho,

Ndingadingi nazibhokhwe* zabuhlanti bakho.+

10 Kuba zonke izilwanyana zasendle ezisehlathini zezam,+

Nditsho namarhamncwa akwiintaba eziliwaka.

11 Ndizazi zonke iintaka zasezintabeni;+

Yonke le nqwaba yezilwanyana zasendle yeyam.

12 Ukuba bendilambile, bendingazukutsho kuwe,

Kuba umhlaba ngowam, nento yonke ekuwo yeyam.+

13 Ndimele nditye inyama yeenkunzi zeenkomo na mna,

Ndisele negazi leebhokhwe?+

14 Umbingelelo wakho kuThixo mayibe kukubulela,+

Ibe umele uzifezekise izithembiso zakho kOyena Uphakamileyo;+

15 Ndibize ngemini yobunzima.+

Ndiza kukusindisa, uze wena undizukise.”+

16 Kodwa uThixo uza kuthi kulowo ungalunganga:

“Ngubani othe ungathetha ngemithetho yam+

Nothe ungathetha ngesivumelwano sam?+

17 Kaloku wena awukufuni nokukubona ukuqeqeshwa,*

Uhlala uwanikela umva* amazwi am.+

18 Xa ubona isela, uyalivuyela,*+

Ibe uhlala nabantu abakrexezayo.*

19 Uthetha izinto ezimbi ngomlomo wakho,

Inkohliso ithe nca elulwimini lwakho.+

20 Uhleli nje uthetha kakubi ngomntakwenu;+

Udiza iingxaki anazo unyana* kamama wakho.

21 Ndathula ndathi tu xa wawusenza ezi zinto,

Wena wawucinga ukuba ndiza kufana nawe.

Kodwa ngoku ndiza kukululeka,

Ibe ndiza kukumangalela.+

22 Khanicinge ngale nto ke nina balibala uThixo,+

Ukuze ndinganidlakazi ningenamsindisi.

23 Ngulowo ubingelela ngokubulela ondizukisayo,+

Yena umntu olandela indlela ebekiweyo,

Ndiza kumenza abone ukuba kunjani ukusindiswa nguThixo.”+

Kumalathisi. Ingoma emnandi kaDavide, xa uNatan umprofeti weza kuDavide emva kokuba eye walala noBhatshebha.+

51 Owu yhini Thixo, ndenzele inceba ngenxa yothando lwakho olungagungqiyo.+

Zicime izono zam ngenxa yenceba yakho eninzi.+

 2 Ndihlambisise kwisiphoso sam,+

Undicoce nakwisono sam.+

 3 Kuba ndizazi kakuhle iziphoso zam,

Nesono sam sisoloko siphambi kwam.*+

 4 Ngaphezu kwayo yonke enye into, ndone wena;*+

Ndenze into embi emehlweni akho.+

Ngoko ke undigweba ngobulungisa

Ibe isigwebo sakho sifanelekile.+

 5 Kaloku ndazalwa ndinesono,

Nomama wandikhawulela esonweni.+

 6 Wena uyayithanda inyaniso engaphakathi emntwini;+

Ndifundise ubulumko bokwenene entliziyweni yam.

 7 Ndisulungekise esonweni ngehisope, ukuze ndicoceke;+

Ndihlambe, ukuze ndibe mhlophe ngaphezu kwekhephu.+

 8 Mandive izandi zabantu abavuyayo nabanemihlali,

Ukuze amathambo owakrobozileyo avuye.+

 9 Jonga kude,* ukuze ungaziboni izono zam,+

Uzosule* zonke iziphoso zam.+

10 Owu yhini Thixo, dala ngaphakathi kum intliziyo esulungekileyo,+

Uze undifake umoya omtsha,+ ongagungqiyo.

11 Sukundilahlela kude;

Ungawususi nomoya wakho oyingcwele kum.

12 Phinda undenze ndivuye ngenxa yokusindiswa nguwe;+

Ndenze ndikufune ukukuthobela.*

13 Abanezono ndiza kubafundisa iindlela zakho,+

Ukuze babuyele kuwe.

14 Ndisindise ekubeni netyala legazi,+ owu yhini Thixo, Thixo ondisindisayo,+

Ukuze ulwimi lwam lubalise luvuya ngobulungisa bakho.+

15 Owu Yehova, yivule imilebe yam,

Ukuze umlomo wam ukudumise.+

16 Kuba awufuni mibingelelo; ukuba ubuyifuna bendiza kuyenza;+

Awukholiswa yiminikelo etshiswa ngokupheleleyo.+

17 Imibingelelo ayithandayo uThixo ngumoya owaphukileyo;

Owu Thixo, wena awuzukuyinikela umva* intliziyo eyaphukileyo netyumkileyo.+

18 Yiba nobubele kwiZiyon;

Yakha iindonga zeYerusalem.

19 Uza kutsho ukholiswe yimibingelelo yobulungisa,

Imibingelelo etshiswayo neminikelo epheleleyo;

Emva koko kuza kutsho kunikelwe ngeenkunzi zeenkomo esibingelelweni sakho.+

Kumalathisi. IMaskili.* EkaDavide, xa uDowegi umEdom waxelela uSawule ukuba uDavide ungene endlini ka-Ahimeleki.+

52 Kutheni uqhayisa ngezinto ezimbi ozenzayo, wena gorhandini?+

Uthando olungagungqiyo lukaThixo luhlala lukho imini yonke.+

 2 Ulwimi lwakho lubukhali okwebleyidi,+

Luceba ukwenzakalisa ibe luyaqhatha.+

 3 Uthanda izinto ezimbi ngaphezu kwezilungileyo,

Ubuxoki ngaphezu kokuthetha izinto ezilungileyo. (Selah)

 4 Uwathanda onke amazwi enzakalisayo,

Lulwimindini lunenkohliso!

 5 Yiyo loo nto uThixo eza kukuwisa kuphele tu ngawe;+

Uza kukunqakula akurhuqele ngaphandle kwentente yakho;+

Uza kukuncothula elizweni labaphilayo.+ (Selah)

 6 Amalungisa aza kuyibona loo nto amangaliswe,+

Ibe aza kukuhleka athi:+

 7 “Nantso ke indoda engakhange ibalekele kuThixo,*+

Eyasuke yathembela ngobutyebi bayo obuninzi+

Nangamacebo ayo angalunganga.”*

 8 Kodwa ndiza kuba njengomthi womnquma ochumileyo endlini kaThixo.

Ndithembele ngothando lukaThixo olungagungqiyo,+ ngonaphakade kanaphakade.

 9 Ndiza kukudumisa ngonaphakade ngenxa yezenzo zakho.+

Phambi kwabantu bakho abathembekileyo,

Ndiza kuthembela ngegama lakho,+ kuba lilungile.

Kumalathisi; mayidlalwe ngeMahalati.* IMaskili.* EkaDavide.

53 Izidenge zithi ezintliziyweni zazo:*

“Akekho uYehova.”+

Zineendlela ezijijekileyo; zenza izinto ezingalunganga nezenyanyekayo;

Akukho mntu wenza izinto ezilungileyo.+

 2 Kodwa uThixo ubajongile esezulwini oonyana babantu,+

Ufuna ukubona ukuba akanakumfumana na umntu onobulumko, okanye okhangela uYehova.+

 3 Bonke baphumile endleleni;

Banamaqhinga bonke.

Akukho mntu wenza izinto ezilungileyo,

Akukho nokuba abe mnye.+

 4 Uthetha ukuba akukho namnye kubenzi-bubi ovayo?

Baginya abantu bam ngokungathi batya isonka.

Abathandazi kuYehova.+

 5 Kodwa baza kutyhwatyhwa,

Boyike ngendlela abangazange boyika ngayo,*

Kuba uThixo uza kuwasasaza amathambo abo bakuhlaselayo.*

Wena uza kubahlazisa, kuba uYehova ubalahlile.

 6 Akwaba uSirayeli angasindiswa yiZiyon!+

Makavuye uYakobi, onwabe uSirayeli

Xa uYehova ebuyisa abantu bakhe abathinjiweyo.

Kumalathisi; mayidlalwe ngemirhubhe. IMaskili.* EkaDavide, xa amaZifi athi kuSawule: “UDavide uzimele apha phakathi kwethu.”+

54 Owu Thixo, ndisindise ngegama lakho,+

Uze undilwele*+ ngamandla akho.

 2 Owu Thixo, wuve umthandazo wam;+

Wamamele amazwi omlomo wam.

 3 Kuba ndihlaselwa ngabantu endingabaziyo,

Nezikhohlakali zifuna ukundibulala.+

Azimboneli ntweni* uThixo.+ (Selah)

 4 Jonga! UThixo ngumncedi wam;+

UYehova uyabasikelela abo bandixhasayo.

 5 Uza kuzenza zehlelwe zizinto ezimbi ezizenzayo iintshaba zam.+

Khawuzicime igama* ngenxa yokuthembeka kwakho.+

 6 Ndiza kubingelela kuwe+ ngokuzithandela.

Ndiza kulidumisa igama lakho Yehova, kuba lilungile.+

 7 Kuba undisindisa kuzo zonke iingxaki zam,+

Ibe ndiza kuziqhayisela iintshaba zam.+

Kumalathisi; mayidlalwe ngemirhubhe. IMaskili.* EkaDavide.

55 Owu Thixo, wumamele umthandazo wam,+

Sukundifulathela xa ndikucela ukuba undenzele inceba.*+

 2 Ndimamele uze undiphendule.+

Andizinzanga ngenxa yeenkathazo,+

Yaye ndibindekile

 3 Ngenxa yezinto ezithethwa lutshaba lwam

Nokucinezelwa ngumenzi-bubi.

Kuba bafumba inkxwaleko phezu kwam,

Yaye ngomsindo bandifukamela inzondo.+

 4 Intliziyo yam ibuhlungu ngeyona ndlela,+

Yaye ndiyangcungcutheka ngenxa yokoyika ukufa.+

 5 Nditsho ndangcangcazela kukoyika,

Nokunkwantya kuyandirhwaqelisa.

 6 Ndihlala ndisithi: “Akwaba bendinamaphiko njengehobe!

Bendiza kubhabha ndiye endaweni ekhuselekileyo.

 7 Jonga! Bendiza kuntinga ndiye kwindawo ekude,+

Ndiye kuhlala entlango.+ (Selah)

 8 Bendiza kubaleka ndiye kwindawo ekhuselekileyo,

Kude nesivuthuvuthu somoya, nesaqhwithi esibhudlayo.”

 9 Owu yhini Yehova, benze babhideke, liphanzise icebo labo,*+

Kuba ndibone ubundlobongela neengxwabangxwaba esixekweni.

10 Imini nobusuku bajikeleza iindonga zaso;

Kugcwele nje ukunyemba nenkathazo kuso.+

11 Sigcwele intlekele;

Kwindawo yaso kawonke-wonke abantu bahlala becinezelwa yaye beqhathwa.+

12 Kaloku, ayilotshaba olundinxwalayo;+

Kuba lona bendinokulunyamezela.

Ayilotshaba olundijikeleyo;

Kuba lona bendinokuluzimela.

13 Kodwa nguwe, umntu ofana nam,*+

Umhlobo wam endimazi kakuhle.+

14 Sasikade singabahlobo abasenyongweni;

Sasikade sihamba sonke siligquba ukuya endlini kaThixo.

15 Kwanga iintshaba zam zingatshabalala!+

Mazingene engcwabeni* ziphila;

Kuba zisoloko ziceba ukwenza izinto ezimbi.

16 Mna ke, ndiza kukhalela kuThixo,

Yaye uYehova uza kundisindisa.+

17 Ngokuhlwa, kusasa nasemini ndibhuqwa ziintlungu,*+

Ibe uyaliva ilizwi lam.+

18 Uza kundisindisa* aze andiphumze kwabo balwa nam,

Kuba baninzi abo bandihlaselayo.+

19 UThixo uza kuva aze abaphendule,+

Lowo wayehleli etroneni ukususela kudala.+ (Selah)

Abazukufuna ukuguquka,

Abo bangakhange bamoyike uThixo.+

20 Usuke* wahlasela abo bebeseluxolweni naye;+

Wasaphula isivumelwano asenzileyo.+

21 Amazwi aphuma emlonyeni wakhe atyibilika ngaphezu kwebhotolo,+

Kodwa intliziyo yakhe igcwele ingxabano.

Amazwi akhe athambe ngaphezu kweoli,

Kodwa angamakrele arholiweyo.+

22 Wuphosele kuYehova umthwalo wakho,+

Yena uza kukuxhasa.+

Soze avumele ilungisa liwe.*+

23 Kodwa wena Thixo, uza kubehlisela kowona mngxuma usezantsi.+

Abantu abanetyala legazi nabaqhathayo baza kufa besebatsha.+

Kodwa mna, ndiza kuthembela kuwe.

Kumalathisi; mayidlalwe “NgeHobe Elithe Cwaka Elikude.” EkaDavide. IMiktam.* Xa wabanjwa ngamaFilisti eGati.+

56 Yhini Thixo, ndenzele inceba, kuba abantu bayandihlasela.*

Balwa nam, bendicinezela imini le yonke.

 2 Iintshaba zam zindigragramela imini yonke,

Baninzi abandivuyelelayo.

 3 Ndithembela kuwe+ xa ndisoyika.+

 4 Ndithembele kuThixo endidumisa ilizwi lakhe,

Ndithembele kuThixo; andoyiki.

Angandenza ntoni na umntu?+

 5 Imini le yonke bahlelele ukuphazamisana nobomi bam;

Eyona nto bacinga ngayo kukundenzakalisa.+

 6 Bandilalele;

Bagade yonke indawo endinyathela kuyo,+

Befuna ukundicima igama.+

 7 Balahle kuba bakhohlakele.

Owu yhini Thixo, zitshabalalise ngomsindo izizwana.+

 8 Undigadile ekubhaduleni kwam.+

Qokelela iinyembezi zam, uzifake kwibhotile yakho yofele.+

Azibhalwanga encwadini yakho na?+

 9 Iintshaba zam ziza kurhoxa mhla ndicela uncedo.+

Nantsi into endiqiniseke ngayo: uThixo usecaleni lam.+

10 Ndithembele kuThixo endidumisa ilizwi lakhe;

Ndithembele kuYehova endidumisa ilizwi lakhe.

11 Ndithembele kuThixo; andoyiki.+

Angandenza ntoni na umntu?+

12 Isifungo sam sindibophelele kuwe Thixo wam;+

Ndiza kukutyibela ngemibulelo.+

13 Kuba undisindisile ekufeni+

Wanqanda neenyawo zam ukuba zingakhubeki,+

Ukuze ndihambe phambi koThixo, ekukhanyeni kwabaphilayo.+

Kumalathisi; mayidlalwe ngethi “Sukonakalisa.” EkaDavide. IMiktam.* Xa wangena emqolombeni ebaleka uSawule.+

57 Ndenzele ububele Thixo, ndenzele ububele,

Kuba ndibalekela kuwe,+

Ibe ndizifihla ethunzini lamaphiko akho zide zidlule iinkathazo.+

 2 Ndikhalela kuThixo ongOyena Uphakamileyo,

KuThixo wokwenene obatshabalalisa ngenxa yam.

 3 Uza kuthumela uncedo oluvela ezulwini aze andisindise.+

Uza kumphazamisa lowo undihlaselayo. (Selah)

UThixo uza kuthumela uthando lwakhe olungagungqiyo nokuthembeka kwakhe.+

 4 Ndingqongwe ziingonyama;+

Kufuneka ndilale phakathi kwabantu abafuna ukundiqwenga,

Abanamazinyo ayimikhonto neentolo

Nabanolwimi olulikrele elibukhali.+

 5 Owu Thixo, phakanyiswa ngaphezu kwamazulu;

Uzuko lwakho malube phezu komhlaba wonke.+

 6 Iinyawo zam bazibekele umnatha;+

Ndijonge phantsi ngenxa yentlungu.+

Bembe umngxuma phambi kwam,

Kodwa ngabo abawele kuwo.+ (Selah)

 7 Intliziyo yam ayigungqi, Thixo wam,+

Intliziyo yam ayigungqi.

Ndiza kucula, ndikudumise ngengoma.

 8 Vuka, luzuko lwam;

Vuka mrhubhe, nawe luhadi.

Ndiza kuvuka kungekasi.+

 9 Ndiza kukudumisa phakathi kwezizwana, Yehova;+

Ndiza kukudumisa ngengoma* phakathi kweentlanga.+

10 Kuba uthando lwakho olungagungqiyo luninzi, lufikelela emazulwini,+

Nokuthembeka kwakho kufikelela esibhakabhakeni.

11 Owu Thixo, phakanyiswa ngaphezu kwamazulu;

Uzuko lwakho malube phezu komhlaba wonke.+

Kumalathisi; mayidlalwe ngethi “Sukonakalisa.” EkaDavide. IMiktam.*

58 Ningakwazi na ukuthetha ngobulungisa ngoxa nithule?+

Ningakwazi na ukugweba ngobulungisa, nina bonyana babantu?+

 2 Endaweni yoko, niqweba inkohlakalo ezintliziyweni zenu,+

Nenza izinto zobundlobongela ngezandla zenu kweli lizwe.+

 3 Abenzi-bubi bonakele* kwasekuzalweni kwabo;*

Babangela inkathazo, ibe baxoka besazalwa.

 4 Ityhefu yabo injengetyhefu yenyoka;+

Abeva oku kwephimpi eliyivalayo indlebe yalo.

 5 Alilimameli ilizwi labo bazama ukulenza mbuna,

Nokuba banobuchule kangakanani na ekwenzeni imilingo.

 6 Owu Thixo, wakhuphe amazinyo abo emilonyeni yabo!

Owu Yehova, yaphule imihlathi yezi ngonyama!

 7 Kwanga bangathi shwaka njengamanzi atshona emseleni.

Kwanga uThixo angagoba isaphetha sakhe aze abawise ngeentolo zakhe.

 8 Kwanga bangaba njengenkumba enyibilika de iphele;

Njengosana olufela esibelekweni sikamama walo, lungaze lulibone ilanga.

 9 Ngaphambi kokuba iimbiza zakho ziwuve umlilo womnga,

Uza kuwususa, awutshayele ngathi uphetshethwa sisaqhwithi.+

10 Ilungisa liza kukuvuyela ukubona le mpindezelo;+

Iinyawo zalo ziza kugxampuza egazini labenzi-bubi.+

11 Ngoko abantu baza kuthi: “Ngokuqinisekileyo kunomvuzo ukuba lilungisa.+

Kukho uThixo ogwebayo emhlabeni.”+

Kumalathisi; mayidlalwe ngethi “Sukonakalisa.” EkaDavide. IMiktam.* Xa uSawule wathumela amadoda ukuba ayokugada indlu kaDavide* ukuze ambulale.+

59 Ndisindise kwiintshaba zam, owu yhini Thixo wam;+

Ndikhusele kwabo balwa nam.+

 2 Ndisindise kwabo bakhohlakeleyo;

Ndisindise kwiindlobongela zamadoda.*

 3 Jonga! Bandilalele;+

Ndihlaselwa zizigantsontso zamadoda

Ndingakhange ndiwajikele okanye ndone,+ Yehova.

 4 Nangona ndingenzanga nto, balungiselela ukundihlasela.

Ndicela uvuke xa ndikubiza, ubone.

 5 Kuba wena Yehova Thixo wemikhosi, unguThixo kaSirayeli.+

Vuka uze uzihoye zonke ezi ntlanga.

Sukuzisizela izikhohlakali ezindijikeleyo.+ (Selah)

 6 Babuya yonke le mihla ngokuhlwa;+

Bagragrama* okwezinja,+ bengqunga esixekweni.+

 7 Jonga into ephuma* emilonyeni yabo;

Imilebe yabo ifana namakrele,+

Kuba bathi: “Ngubani omameleyo?”+

 8 Kodwa wena Yehova, uza kubahleka;+

Uza kuzenza intlekisa zonke iintlanga.+

 9 Owu Mandla am, ndiza kukulinda;+

Kuba uThixo yindawo yam yokubalekela ekhuselekileyo.*+

10 UThixo ondithanda ngokungagungqiyo uza kundinceda;+

UThixo uza kundenza ndizoyise iintshaba zam.+

11 Ndicela ungababulali, ukuze abantu bam bangayilibali le nto.

Ngamandla akho benze babhadule;

Owu yhini Yehova, bawise khaka lethu.+

12 Ngenxa yesono semilomo yabo, ilizwi lemilebe yabo,

Mabarhintyelwe likratshi labo,+

Ngenxa yokuqalekisa nokuthetha kwabo izinto eziqhathayo.

13 Batshayele ngomsindo;+

Bagqibe, baphele tu;

Bazise ukuba nguThixo olawula kwaYakobi nakwezona ndawo zikude emhlabeni.+ (Selah)

14 Mababuye ngokuhlwa;

Mabagragrame* okwezinja, bangqunge esixekweni.+

15 Mababhadule bekhangela ukutya;+

Ungabavumeli bahluthe okanye bafumane indawo yokulala.

16 Kodwa mna, ndiza kucula ngamandla akho;+

Ndiza kubalisa kwakusasa ngothando lwakho olungagungqiyo ndivuya.

Kuba uyindawo yam yokuzimela ekhuselekileyo+

Nendawo yam yokubalekela xa ndisengxakini.+

17 Owu Mandla am, ndiza kukudumisa ngengoma,*+

Kuba uThixo uyindawo yam ekhuselekileyo yokubalekela, uThixo ondithanda ngokungagungqiyo.+

Kumalathisi; mayidlalwe “ngeNyibiba YeSikhumbuzo.” IMiktam.* EkaDavide. Yenzelwe ukufundisa. Xa wayesilwa noAram-naharayim noAram-Tsobha, waza uYowabhi wabuya waxabela amaEdom ayi-12 000 kwiNtlambo YeTyiwa.+

60 Owu Thixo, usilahlile, usityhobozile.+

Ubunomsindo; kodwa ngoku sicela usamkele!

 2 Uwunyikimisile umhlaba; uwucandile.

Ngciba iintanda zawo, kuba uyadilika.

 3 Ubenze baba sebunzimeni abantu bakho.

Usiseze iwayini esigxadazelisayo.+

 4 Balumkise* abo bakoyikayo

Ukuze babaleke baze baphephe isaphetha. (Selah)

 5 Sisindise ngesandla sakho sasekunene uze usiphendule,

Ukuze basindiswe abantu bakho obathandayo.+

 6 UThixo uthethile ebungcweleni bakhe* wathi:

“Ndiza kuvuya, ndinikele ngeShekem ibe lilifa,+

NeNtlambo YaseSukoti*+ ndiza kuyisikela abantu bam.

 7 UGiliyadi ngowam, noManase ngowam,+

UEfrayim sisigcina-ntloko sam;*

UYuda yintonga yam yenkumanda.+

 8 UMowabhi sisitya endihlambela kuso.+

Ndiza kuyiphosa phezu koEdom imbadada yam.+

Ndiza kukhwaza kuba ndiwoyisile amaFilisti.”+

 9 Ngubani oza kundizisa kwisixeko esirhangqiweyo?*

Ngubani oza kundikhokelela kwaEdom?+

10 Ayinguwe na Thixo osilahlileyo,

Nongasahambiyo nemikhosi yethu, Thixo wethu?+

11 Sincede kule nkathazo sikuyo,

Kuba akuncedi nganto ukusindiswa ngabantu.+

12 UThixo uza kusinika amandla,+

Ibe uza kuzinyathela iintshaba zethu.+

Kumalathisi; mayidlalwe ngemirhubhe. EkaDavide.

61 Owu Thixo, sive isikhalo sam sokucela uncedo.

Wumamelisise umthandazo wam.+

 2 Ndiza kukhalela kuwe ndikwezona ndawo zikude emhlabeni

Xa intliziyo yam ibuhlungu.*+

Ndikhokelele kwiliwa eliphakame ngaphezu kwam.+

 3 Kuba wena uyindawo endibalekela kuyo,

Inqaba eyomeleleyo yokundikhusela kutshaba.+

 4 Ndiza kuba lundwendwe ententeni yakho ngonaphakade;+

Ndiza kubalekela kwindawo ekhuselekileyo phantsi kwamaphiko akho.+ (Selah)

 5 Kuba wena Thixo, uzivile izifungo zam.

Undinike ilifa oligcinele abo baloyikayo igama lakho.+

 6 Uza kuzongeza iintsuku zobomi bukakumkani,*+

Ibe iminyaka yakhe iza kusuka kwisizukulwana ise kwesinye isizukulwana.

 7 Uza kuhlala ngonaphakade etroneni phambi koThixo;+

Kwanga uthando lwakho olungagungqiyo nokuthembeka kwakho kungamkhusela.+

 8 Ngoko ndiza kulidumisa ngengoma* igama lakho ngonaphakade+

Njengoko ndizenza izinto endizifungileyo yonke imihla.+

Kumalathisi; mayidlalwe ngeYedutun.* Ingoma emnandi kaDavide.

62 Ngokwenene, ndilindela kuThixo ndithule.

Nguye ondisindisayo.+

 2 Ngokwenene, uliliwa lam nosindiso lwam, indawo yam yokubalekela ekhuselekileyo;*+

Andisoze ndigungqiswe kangako.+

 3 Niza kumbetha kude kube nini na umntu, nizama ukumbulala?+

Nonke niyingozi oku kodonga oluthambekileyo, udonga lwamatye oludilikayo.*

 4 Kuba bacebisana ngokubhukuqa umntu kwisikhundla sakhe esiphezulu;*

Bayakuthanda ukuxoka.

Ngemilomo bayasikelela, kodwa ngaphakathi bayaqalekisa.+ (Selah)

 5 Ngokwenene, ndiza kuthula, ndilindele kuThixo+

Kuba livela kuye ithemba lam.+

 6 Ngokwenene, uliliwa lam nosindiso lwam, indawo yam yokubalekela ekhuselekileyo;

Andisoze ndigungqiswe.+

 7 Usindiso lwam nozuko lwam luxhomekeke kuThixo.

UThixo liliwa lam elomeleleyo, nendawo yam yokubalekela.+

 8 Thembelani kuye ngalo lonke ixesha, nina bantu.

Mxeleleni zonke izinto ezisentliziyweni yenu.+

UThixo uyindawo yethu yokubalekela.+ (Selah)

 9 Oonyana babantu bangumoya nje,

Oonyana babantu abayonto.+

Xa bebekwe bonke ezikalini, bakhaphukhaphu ngaphezu komoya.+

10 Sukuthembela ngenkqatho

Okanye ngokuphanga.

Ukuba uya usiba sisityebi, sukubeka intliziyo yakho kuloo nto.+

11 Ndive kwada kwakabini ukuba uThixo uthe:

Amandla ngakaThixo.+

12 Owu Yehova, nothando olungagungqiyo lolwakho,+

Kuba ubuyekeza ngamnye ngokwezenzo zakhe.+

Ingoma emnandi kaDavide, xa wayekwintlango yakwaYuda.+

63 Owu Thixo, unguThixo wam, ndihlala ndikukhangela.+

Ndikunxanelwe.+

Ndityhafile ngenxa yokufuna wena

Emhlabeni owomileyo, ekungekho manzi kuwo.+

 2 Ngoko ndiye ndajonga kuwe endaweni engcwele;

Ndiwabonile amandla akho nozuko lwakho.+

 3 Imilebe yam iza kukuzukisa,+

Kuba uthando lwakho olungagungqiyo lulunge ngaphezu kobomi.+

 4 Ngaloo ndlela ndiza kukudumisa ubomi bam bonke;

Ndiza kuphakamisa izandla zam egameni lakho.

 5 Ndanelisekile kuba ndifumene esona sabelo sihle nesityebileyo,*

Ngoko umlomo wam uza kukudumisa, ize imilebe yam ikuculele.+

 6 Ndikukhumbula ndisebhedini yam;

Ndicinga ngawe ezinzulwini zobusuku.+

 7 Kuba ungumncedi wam,+

Ibe ndikhwaza ndivuya ndisethunzini lamaphiko akho.+

 8 Ndibambelela kuwe;

Isandla sakho sasekunene sihlala sindibambe nkqi.+

 9 Kodwa abo bafuna ukunditshabalalisa

Baza kwehlela kwezona ndawo zisezantsi zomhlaba.

10 Baza kunikelwa emandleni ekrele;

Baza kuba kukutya koodyakalashe.*

11 Ukumkani uza kuvuya ngenxa kaThixo.

Wonke umntu ofunga ngoThixo uza kuvuya,*

Kuba umlomo wabo bathetha ubuxoki uza kuvalwa.

Kumalathisi. Ingoma emnandi kaDavide.

64 Limamele ilizwi lam Thixo, njengoko ndizityanda igila kuwe.+

Bukhusele ubomi bam kutshaba oloyikekayo.

 2 Ndifihle kumayelenqe abenzi-bubi,+

Kwiqela elikhulu labantu abakhohlakeleyo.

 3 Balola ulwimi lwabo lube njengekrele;

Bajolisa amazwi enkohlakalo njengeentolo,

 4 Ukuze badubule umntu ongenzanga nto bezimele;

Bamdubula engalindelanga, bengoyiki.

 5 Babambelela nkqi kwiqhinga labo;*

Baqweba iindlela zokumbekela imigibe,

Baze bathi: “Ngubani oza kuyibona?”+

 6 Bakhangela iindlela ezintsha zokwenza ububi;

Bawaqweba emfihlekweni amaqhinga abo;+

Akukho mntu unokuziqonda izinto ezicingwa ziintliziyo zabo.

 7 Kodwa uThixo uza kubadubula ngotolo;+

Uza kubenzakalisa ngotolo bengalindelanga.

 8 Baza kuwiswa lulwimi lwabo;+

Bonke abantu abababonayo baza kunikina iintloko.

 9 Ngoko bonke abantu baza koyika,

Baze bathethe ngale nto ayenzileyo uThixo,

Ibe baza kutsho baziqonde izinto azenzileyo.+

10 Ilungisa liza kuvuya ngenxa kaYehova lize libalekele kuye;+

Bonke abantu abaneentliziyo ezilungileyo baza kuvuya.*

Kumalathisi. Ingoma emnandi kaDavide. Ingoma.

65 Owu Thixo, ulindelwe yindumiso eZiyon;+

Siza kuzenza izinto esikuthembise zona.+

 2 Owu wena umamela imithandazo, zonke iintlobo zabantu ziza kuza kuwe.+

 3 Ziye zandoyisa izono zam,+

Kodwa wena, uyazogquma iziphoso zethu.+

 4 Wonwabile umntu omkhethileyo waza wamsondeza

Ukuze ahlale eyadini yakho.+

Siza kwaneliswa zizinto ezilungileyo zendlu yakho,+

Itempile yakho engcwele.*+

 5 Uza kusiphendula ngezinto ezilungileyo ezimangalisayo,+

Owu Thixo osisindisayo;

UliThemba lomhlaba wonke+

Nelabo bahlala kude lee, phesheya kweelwandle.

 6 Uyazizinzisa iintaba ngamandla akho;

Unamandla amakhulu.+

 7 Uthomalalisa ulwandle olulwayo,+

Ukuntlitheka kwamaza nengxolo yeentlanga.+

 8 Abemi beendawo ezisemagqagaleni baza kumangaliswa zizinto ozenzileyo;+

Uza kwenza abo basempumalanga nasentshonalanga bakhwaze bevuya.

 9 Uyawukhathalela umhlaba,

Uwenza uchume, futhi utyebe.+

Umsinga ovela kuThixo ugcwele ngamanzi;

Ubalungiselela ukutya okuziinkozo,+

Kuba uwenze wanjalo umhlaba.

10 Ugcwalisa iifolo zawo ngamanzi, ulungise umhlaba ohlakuliweyo;

Uwenza uthambe ngemvula; usikelela nezityalo zawo.+

11 Unyaka uwuhombise ngezinto zakho ezilungileyo;

Iindlela zakho ziphuphuma* ubutyebi.+

12 Amadlelo ahlala ephuphuma,*+

Neenduli zambethe uvuyo.+

13 Kuyimihlambi nje emadlelweni,

Neentlambo zogqunywe* kukutya okuziinkozo.+

Ziyakhwaza zicula kuba zoyisile.+

Kumalathisi. Ingoma. Ingoma emnandi.

66 Khwazani nidumisa uThixo kuba noyisile, nonke nina bemi bomhlaba.+

 2 Lidumiseni ngengoma* igama lakhe.

Mdumiseni nimzukisa.+

 3 Yithini kuThixo: “Zimangalisa ngeyona ndlela izinto ozenzileyo!+

Ngenxa yobukhulu bamandla akho,

Iintshaba zakho ziza koyika phambi kwakho.+

 4 Bonke abemi bomhlaba baza kuqubuda kuwe;+

Baza kukudumisa ngengoma;

Baza kulidumisa ngengoma igama lakho.”+ (Selah)

 5 Yizani nibone imisebenzi kaThixo.

Ziyamangalisa izinto azenzele oonyana babantu.+

 6 Walujika ulwandle lwaba ngumhlaba owomileyo;+

Bawuwela ngeenyawo umlambo.+

Zasivuyisa izinto awazenzayo.+

 7 Ulawula ngamandla akhe ngonaphakade.+

Amehlo akhe ahlala egade iintlanga.+

Abo baneenkani bamele bangaziphakamisi.+ (Selah)

 8 Dumisani uThixo wethu nina zizwana,+

Nivumele isandi sokumdumisa siviwe.

 9 Usigcina siphila;+

Akazivumeli zikhubeke* iinyawo zethu.+

10 Kuba usihlolile wena Thixo;+

Usisulungekisile njengaxa kusulungekiswa isilivere.

11 Wasifaka emnatheni wokuzingela;

Wasithwalisa* ingcinezelo engathethekiyo.

12 Wavumela umntu nje ukuba asicinezele;*

Sadlula emlilweni nasemanzini;

Emva koko, wasizisa kwindawo yokuphumla.

13 Ndiza kuza endlini yakho neminikelo etshiswa ngokupheleleyo;+

Ndiza kuzenza izinto endikuthembise zona,+

14 Endakuthembisa ngemilebe yam+

Nezathethwa ngumlomo wam xa ndandisezingxakini.

15 Ndiza kunikela kuwe iminikelo etshiswa ngokupheleleyo yezilwanyana ezityetyisiweyo,

Ngomsi wombingelelo weenkunzi zeegusha.

Ndiza kunikela ngeenkunzi zeenkomo nezeebhokhwe. (Selah)

16 Yizani, nimamele nonke nina boyika uThixo,

Ibe mna ndiza kunibalisela ngezinto andenzele zona.+

17 Ndakhalela kuye ngomlomo wam,

Ndamzukisa ngolwimi lwam.

18 Ukuba bendiye ndafukama naluphi na uhlobo lwenzondo entliziyweni yam,

Ebengazukundiva uYehova.+

19 Kodwa uThixo undivile;+

Uwumamele umthandazo wam.+

20 Makadunyiswe uThixo, ongakhange awufulathele umthandazo wam,

Okanye andivimbe uthando lwakhe olungagungqiyo.

Kumalathisi; mayidlalwe ngemirhubhe. Ingoma emnandi. Ingoma.

67 UThixo uza kusenzela ububele, asisikelele;

Uza kusincumela+ (Selah)

 2 Ukuze indlela yakho yaziwe emhlabeni,+

Usindiso lwakho lwaziwe ziintlanga.+

 3 Mazikudumise izizwana Thixo;

Mazikudumise zonke izizwana.

 4 Mazivuye iintlanga, zikhwaze zonwabile,+

Kuba uza kuzigweba kakuhle izizwana;+

Uza kuzikhokela iintlanga zasemhlabeni. (Selah)

 5 Mazikudumise izizwana Thixo;

Mazikudumise zonke izizwana.

 6 Umhlaba uza kuvelisa isiqhamo sawo;+

UThixo, uThixo wethu, uza kusisikelela.+

 7 UThixo uza kusisikelela,

Ibe ezona ndawo zikude zomhlaba ziza kumoyika.*+

Kumalathisi. EkaDavide. Ingoma emnandi. Ingoma.

68 Makaphakame uThixo, iintshaba zakhe mazithi saa,

Nabo bamcaphukelayo mababaleke phambi kwakhe.+

 2 Baqhube oku komoya uphephethekisa umsi;

Abenzi-bubi mabatshabalale phambi koThixo,

Banyibilike oku kwamafutha phambi komlilo.+

 3 Kodwa mawonwabe wona amalungisa;+

Mawavuye kakhulu phambi koThixo;

Mawavuye, onwabe.

 4 Culelani uThixo, nilidumise ngengoma* igama lakhe.+

Mculeleni Lowo uphalisa ecanda entlango.*

Igama lakhe nguYa!*+ Vuyani phambi kwakhe!

 5 UThixo ngutata wabangenatata nomkhuseli* wabahlolokazi+

Esendaweni yakhe yokuhlala engcwele.+

 6 UThixo ubanika ikhaya abo bangenabani;+

Amabanjwa uwakhokelela kwimpumelelo.+

Kodwa bona abaneenkani* bamele bahlale kwilizwe elomileyo.+

 7 Owu Thixo, xa wakhokela abantu* bakho,+

Xa wanqumla intlango, (Selah)

 8 Umhlaba wanyikima;+

Izulu lagalela* imvula ngenxa kaThixo;

ISinayi le yanyikima ngenxa kaThixo, uThixo kaSirayeli.+

 9 Wehlisa izantyalantyala zemvula Thixo;

Wabahlaziya abantu bakho* abadiniweyo.

10 Babengabahlali ezintenteni zakho;+

Owu Thixo, wawakhathalela namahlwempu kuba unobubele.

11 NguYehova oyalelayo;

Abafazi abashumayela iindaba ezilungileyo bangumkhosi omkhulu.+

12 Ookumkani nemikhosi yabo bayabaleka,+ bayabaleka!

Umntu oshiyeka endlini uxhamla kwixhoba.+

13 Nangona nina madoda nanilala phakathi kweemfumba zothuthu enkampini,*

Kuza kubakho amaphiko ehobe alekwe ngesilivere

Aneencam zegolide yodidi.*

14 Xa uSomandla wabachithachithayo ookumkani belo lizwe,+

Kwakhithika eTsalmon.*

15 Intaba yeBhashan+ yintaba kaThixo;

Intaba yeBhashan yintaba yeencopho.

16 Kutheni niyijonge ngamehlo omona nje

Intaba uThixo akhethe* ukuhlala kuyo,

Nina zincochoyi zeentaba?+

Kakade, uYehova uza kuhlala apho ngonaphakade.+

17 Iinqwelo zikaThixo zokulwa zingamashumi amawaka, amawaka ngamawaka.+

UYehova uze endaweni engcwele evela eSinayi.+

18 Unyukele phezulu;+

Uhambe nabathinjwa;

Uthathe izipho ezingabantu,+

Uthathe kwanabo baneenkani,+ ukuze uhlale phakathi kwabo, wena Ya, Thixo.

19 Makadunyiswe uYehova osithwalela umthwalo yonke le mihla,+

UThixo wokwenene osisindisayo. (Selah)

20 UThixo wokwenene nguThixo osisindisayo;+

Futhi uYehova iNkosi enguMongami usisindisa ekufeni.+

21 Ngokuqinisekileyo uThixo uza kuziqhekeza iintloko zeentshaba zakhe,

Intloko yakhe nabani na oqhubeka* enetyala.+

22 UYehova uthe: “Ndiza kubabuyisa eBhashan;+

Ndiza kubabuyisa ezinzulwini zolwandle,

23 Ukuze unyawo lwakho ludade egazini,+

Nolwimi lwezinja zakho lukhothe igazi leentshaba zakho.”

24 Bayayibona imingcelele yakho Thixo,

Imingcelele yoThixo wam, uKumkani wam, isiya endaweni engcwele.+

25 Iimvumi zihamba phambili, zilandelwa ngabadlali bomrhubhe;+

Phakathi kwabo ziintombi ezibetha amagubu.+

26 Dumisani uThixo kwibandla elikhulu;

Mdumiseni uYehova, nina baphuma kuMthombo kaSirayeli.+

27 Nalo iphelo uBhenjamin+ lisoyisa abantu,

Neenkosana zakwaYuda negquba labantu bazo abangxolayo,

Iinkosana zakwaZebhulon, neenkosana zakwaNafetali.

28 UThixo wakho uthe uza kuba namandla.

Bonakalisa amandla akho Thixo, wena usilwelayo.+

29 Ngenxa yetempile yakho eYerusalem,+

Ookumkani baza kukuphathela izipho.+

30 Wakhalimele amarhamncwa asezingcongolweni,

Iindibano zeenkunzi zeenkomo+ namathole azo,

De izizwe ziqubude, zizise amaqhosha* esilivere.

Kodwa uyazisasaza izizwana ezingoophuma-silwe.

31 Izinto ezenziwe ngekopolo ziza kuziswa zivela* eYiputa;+

UKushe uza kukhawulezisa ukunika uThixo izipho.

32 Owu nina zizwe zomhlaba, mculeleni uThixo,+

Mdumiseni ngengoma* uYehova, (Selah)

33 Mculeleni lowo ukhwele izulu lamandulo, izulu lamazulu.+

Jongani! Utsho ngendudumo yelizwi lakhe, ilizwi elinamandla.

34 Vumani ukuba uThixo unamandla.+

Ubukhulu bakhe buphezu koSirayeli,

Namandla akhe asesibhakabhakeni.*

35 UThixo uyamangalisa kwingcwele yakhe* ezukileyo.+

UnguThixo kaSirayeli,

Unika abantu amandla nokomelela.+

Makadunyiswe uThixo.

Kumalathisi; mayidlalwe ngethi “Iinyibiba.” EkaDavide.

69 Ndisindise Thixo, kuba sele ndiza kurhaxwa ngamanzi.+

 2 Nditshone eludakeni olunzulu, ekungekho mhlaba wokuxhathisa kulo.+

Ndingene emanzini anzulu,

Ibe ndikhukuliswe ngumsinga onamandla.+

 3 Ndidiniwe kukukhwaza;+

Umqala wam uyarhwexa.

Amehlo am adiniwe ngoxa ndilindele kuThixo wam.+

 4 Abo bandicaphukela ndingenzanga nto+

Baninzi ngaphezu kweenwele zentloko yam.

Abo banditshabalalisayo,

Iintshaba zam ezinamaqhinga,* zininzi kakhulu.

Ndanyanzelwa ukuba ndinikise ngezinto endingazibanga.

 5 Owu Thixo, wena uyabazi ubudenge bam,

Awafihlekanga kuwe amatyala am.

 6 Kwanga abo bathembela ngawe bangangahlaziswa ngenxa yam,

Owu yhini Nkosi enguMongami, Yehova wemikhosi.

Kwanga abo bakufunayo bangangahlazeki ngenxa yam,

Owu yhini Thixo kaSirayeli.

 7 Ndenziwa intlekisa ngenxa yakho;+

Ubuso bam bogqunywe lihlazo.+

 8 Kwanabantakwethu basuke abandazi,

Ndisuke ndaba ngowasemzini kubantwana bakamama.+

 9 Ndiyavutha ngaphakathi kukuthanda indlu yakho,+

Yaye abo bakugxekayo bayandigxeka nam.+

10 Ndazithoba ngokungatyi,

Suke ndagxekwa nangaleyo.

11 Ndanxiba amalaphu okwenza ingxowa,

Suke ndaba yinto yokuhlekisa* kubo.

12 Bancokola ngam abo bahlala egeyithini yesixeko,

Sendide ndayingoma yamanxila.

13 Kodwa mna ndithandaza kuwe,

Owu Yehova, ngexesha elamkelekileyo.+

Ngothando lwakho oluninzi olungagungqiyo, owu Thixo,

Ndiphendule uze undisindise.+

14 Ndikhuphe eludakeni;

Sukundiyeka ndeyele.

Ndisindise kwabo bandicaphukelayo

Nasemanzini anzulu.+

15 Sukuwayeka amanzi aqukuqelayo andikhukulise,+

Ungandiyeki ndeyele kumanzi anzulu,

Okanye nditshone equleni.*+

16 Ndiphendule Yehova, kuba lulungile uthando lwakho olungagungqiyo.+

Jika ujonge ngakum, kuba unenceba kakhulu.+

17 Sukubufihla ubuso bakho kumkhonzi wakho.+

Ndiphendule ngokukhawuleza, kuba ndisentlungwini.+

18 Sondela undisindise;

Ndikhulule kwiintshaba zam.

19 Uyakwazi ukugxekwa kwam nokuhlaziswa kwam nokuthotywa kwam.+

Uyazibona zonke iintshaba zam.

20 Ukugxekwa kundophule intliziyo, ibe inxeba alinyangeki.*

Bendinethemba lokuba kukho umntu oza kundisizela, kodwa akubangakho nomnye;+

Ndanethemba lokuba kuza kubakho abathuthuzeli, kodwa akwabikho nomnye.+

21 Endaweni yokutya bandinike ityhefu,*+

Bandithobisa unxano ngeviniga.+

22 Mabarhintyelwe yitafile yabo,

Nokuphumelela kwabo kube ngumgibe.+

23 Makube mnyama emehlweni abo ukuze bangaboni,

Yaye zenze zihlale zingcangcazela izinqe zabo.

24 Yikhuphele kubo ingqumbo yakho,

Bawuve kakuhle umsindo wakho.+

25 Mayingabi namntu inkampu yabo ebiyelweyo;

Makungahlali mntu ezintenteni zabo.+

26 Kuba bayamleqa lowo umbethileyo,

Yaye bahlala bethetha ngeentlungu zabo ubenzakalisileyo.

27 Yongeza isiphoso phezu kwesiphoso sabo,

Mabangabufumani ubulungisa bakho.

28 Mabacinywe encwadini yabaphilayo,*+

Bangabhalwa kunye namalungisa.+

29 Kodwa ndisentlungwini yaye ndiyaqaqanjelwa.+

Owu Thixo, kwanga amandla akho asindisayo angandikhusela.

30 Ndiza kulidumisa ngengoma igama likaThixo,

Ndize ndimenze mkhulu ngombulelo.

31 Oku kuza kumkholisa uYehova ngaphezu kwenkunzi yenkomo,

Ngaphezu kwethole lenkomo eliyinkunzi elineempondo neempuphu.+

32 Abalulamileyo baza kubona baze bavuye.

Kwanga ingaphila intliziyo yenu, nina bafuna uThixo.

33 Kaloku uYehova uyawamamela amahlwempu,+

Soze abenyanye abantu bakhe abathinjiweyo.+

34 Malimdumise izulu nomhlaba,+

Iilwandle nayo yonke into eshukumayo kuzo.

35 Kuba uThixo uza kuyisindisa iZiyon+

Aphinde azakhe izixeko zakwaYuda,

Ibe baza kuhlala kuzo, zibe zezabo.

36 Ziza kuba lilifa lenzala yabakhonzi bakhe,+

Baze abo bathanda igama lakhe+ bahlale kuzo.

Kumalathisi. EkaDavide, yenzelwe ukukhumbuza.

70 Owu Thixo, ndisindise;

Owu yhini Yehova, khawuleza uzokundinceda.+

 2 Mabadane, bahlazeke

Abo bazingela ubomi bam.

Mabarhoxe behlazekile

Abo bayivuyelayo intlekele yam.

 3 Mabajike benyoshoza

Abo bathi: “Tshotsho! Tshotsho!”

 4 Kodwa mabavuye babe nemincili+

Abo bakufunayo.

Abo bayithandayo indlela osindisa ngayo, mabahlale besithi:

“Makenziwe mkhulu uThixo!”

 5 Kodwa mna ndilihlwempu elingakwazi nokuzinceda;+

Owu Thixo, khawuleza undilwele.+

Wena ungumncedi wam nomsindisi wam.+

Sukulibazisa, yhini Yehova.+

71 Ndibalekela kuwe Yehova.

Mandingaze ndidaniswe.+

 2 Ndisindise ngobulungisa bakho, undihlangule.

Ndithobele indlebe yakho,* undisindise.+

 3 Yiba yinqaba yam eseliweni

Endinokuzimela kuyo.

Khupha umyalelo wokuba ndisindiswe,

Kuba uliliwa lam nendawo yam ekhuselekileyo.+

 4 Owu Thixo wam, ndisindise kumenzi-bubi,+

Ndingabanjwa ngumcinezeli okhohlakeleyo.

 5 Kuba ulithemba lam, Nkosi enguMongami Yehova;

Bendithembele ngawe* ukususela ebutsheni bam.+

 6 Bendixhomekeke kuwe kwasekuzalweni;

Ndakhutshwa nguwe esibelekweni sikamama.

Ndiza kuhlala ndikudumisa.+

 7 Kubantu abaninzi ndiye ndaba njengommangaliso,

Kodwa wena uyindawo yam yokubalekela eyomeleleyo.

 8 Umlomo wam uhlala ukudumisa;+

Imini yonke ndithetha ngobukhulu bakho.

 9 Ungandilahli ndakuguga;+

Ungandishiyi ndakuphelelwa ngamandla.+

10 Iintshaba zam zindibhungile,

Nabo bafuna ubomi bam bagqugula ngam,+

11 Besithi: “UThixo umlahlile.

Mleqeni nimbambe, kuba akanamsindisi.”+

12 Owu Thixo, sukumela kude kum.

Owu Thixo wam, khawuleza uzokundinceda.+

13 Kwanga bangahlazeka, batshabalale+

Abo balwa nam.

Kwanga bangahlazeka+

Abo bafuna ukuba ndehlelwe yintlekele.

14 Kodwa ke mna, ndiza kuhlala ndilindile;

Ndiza kukudumisa ngakumbi.

15 Umlomo wam uza kubalisa ngobulungisa bakho,+

Imini yonke ubalise ngeendlela osindisa ngazo,

Nangona zininzi ngendlela engathethekiyo.*+

16 Ndiza kuza ndibalise ngamandla akho,

Owu Nkosi enguMongami Yehova;

Ndiza kuthetha ngobulungisa bakho, obakho wedwa.

17 Owu Thixo, undifundise ukususela ebutsheni bam,+

Ibe nangoku ndisaqhubeka ndithetha ngemisebenzi yakho emangalisayo.+

18 Owu Thixo, uze ungandilahli naxa sele ndiyingwevu enezimvi.+

Ndivumele ndisichazele ngamandla akho*

Isizukulwana esiza emva kwam.+

19 Ubulungisa bakho Thixo, bufikelela kwindawo ephakamileyo;+

Ziyamangalisa izinto ozenzileyo;

Owu Thixo, ngubani onjengawe?+

20 Nangona undenze ndasentlungwini, ndehlelwa naziintlekele ezininzi,+

Phinda undihlaziye;

Ndikhuphe enzulwini yomhlaba.*+

21 Kwanga ungandenza ndibe nesidima ngakumbi,

Undingqonge uze undithuthuzele.

22 Ngoko ndiza kukudumisa ngomrhubhe

Ngenxa yokuthembeka kwakho, Thixo wam.+

Ndiza kukudumisa ngengoma,* ndikudlalele uhadi,

Owu Wena Ungcwele kaSirayeli.

23 Imilebe yam iza kukhwaza ngovuyo njengoko ndikudumisa ngengoma,+

Kuba ubusindisile ubomi bam.+

24 Ulwimi lwam luza kuthetha* ngobulungisa bakho imini yonke,+

Kuba baza kuba neentloni baze bahlazeke abo bafuna ukunditshabalalisa.+

Ethetha ngoSolomon.

72 Owu Thixo, nika ukumkani izigwebo zakho,

Mwonge ngobulungisa bakho unyana wokumkani.+

 2 Kwanga angabathethelela abantu bakho,

Awagwebe ngobulungisa namahlwempu.+

 3 Kwanga iintaba zingabaphathela uxolo abantu,

Neenduli zibaphathele ubulungisa.

 4 Makawalwele* amahlwempu aphakathi kwabantu,

Makasindise oonyana babo bangathathi ntweni,

Abatshabalalise abantu abanamaqhinga.+

 5 Baza kukoyika lisekhona nje ilanga,

Isekhona nje nenyanga,

Kwisizukulwana emva kwesizukulwana.+

 6 Yena uza kuba njengemvula ena phezu kwengca echetyiweyo,

Njengemvula enkcenkceshela umhlaba.+

 7 Xa elawula, amalungisa aza kutyatyamba,+

Isekhona nje inyanga, kuza kuhlala kukho uxolo kuyo yonke indawo.+

 8 Uza kulawula abantu ukususela elwandle ukuyokutsho elwandle.

Nokusuka eMlanjeni* ukuya kwezona ndawo zikude emhlabeni.+

 9 Abantu abahlala entlango baza kuqubuda kuye,

Neentshaba zakhe ziza kukhotha uthuli.+

10 Ookumkani baseTarshishe nabeziqithi baza kuzisa umrhumo kuye.+

Ookumkani bakwaShebha nabakwaSebha baza kuzisa izipho.+

11 Bonke ookumkani baza kuqubuda kuye,

Neentlanga ziza kuba zizicaka zakhe.

12 Kuba uza kuwasindisa amahlwempu nabo bakhalela uncedo,

Abangathathi ntweni nabangenamncedi.

13 Uza kubasizela abangathathi ntweni nabangamahlwempu,

Uza kusindisa ubomi bamahlwempu.

14 Uza kubakhulula kwingcinezelo nobundlobongela,

Negazi labo liza kuxabiseka emehlweni akhe.

15 Makaphile ixesha elide, aze anikwe negolide yakwaShebha.+

Makahlale ethandazelwa,

Makasikelelwe imini yonke.

16 Kuza kubakho intabalala yokutya okuziinkozo emhlabeni;+

Kuphuphume ezincochoyini zeentaba.

Iziqhamo zakhe ziza kuqhama ngathi zezaseLebhanon,+

Nabantu ezixekweni baza kutyatyamba njengotyani.+

17 Kwanga igama lakhe lingahlala ngonaphakade,+

Lihlale likho njengelanga.

Kwanga abantu bangasikelelwa ngenxa yakhe;+

Kwanga zonke iintlanga zingambona ukuba wonwabile.

18 Kwanga angadunyiswa uYehova uThixo, uThixo kaSirayeli,+

Ekuphela kwakhe owenza izinto ezimangalisayo.+

19 Kwanga igama lakhe elizukileyo lingadunyiswa ngonaphakade,+

Nozuko lwakhe lugcwalise umhlaba wonke.+

Amen, Amen.

20 Iphelela apha ke imithandazo kaDavide, unyana kaYese.+

INCWADI YESITHATHU

(IiNdumiso 73-89)

Ingoma emnandi ka-Asafu.+

73 UThixo ulunge nyhani kuSirayeli, kwabo baneentliziyo ezimsulwa.+

 2 Mna ke, iinyawo zam beziphantse zatenxa;

Iinyawo zam ziphantse zatyibilika.+

 3 Kuba ndabamonela abaziphakamisileyo*

Xa ndandibona abenzi-bubi beseluxolweni.+

 4 Kuba abeva ntlungu xa besifa;

Bayimiqabaqaba.*+

 5 Abanazingxaki njengabanye abantu,+

Ibe abanazintlungu njengamanye amadoda.+

 6 Ngoko ukuziphakamisa kunjengentsimbi yomqala kubo;+

Ubundlobongela bunjengesambatho.

 7 Ukuphumelela* kwabo kubenza bathi phuhlu amehlo;

Izinto zibahambele kakuhle kakhulu kunokuba bebecinga ezintliziyweni zabo.

 8 Bayagxeka baze bathethe ngenkohlakalo.+

Bayaziphakamisa baze bagrogrise ngokucinezela abantu.+

 9 Bathetha ngathi basemazulwini,

Bathetha unothanda emhlabeni.

10 Ngoko abantu bakhe bayamshiya baye kubo,

Ibe basela kumanzi abo amaninzi.

11 Bathi: “Uyazela phi uThixo loo nto?+

Uzazi nyhani na ezi zinto Oyena Uphakamileyo?”

12 Banjalo ke abenzi-bubi, ezibahambela kakuhle izinto.+

Bahlala bebongeza ubutyebi babo.+

13 Ngokuqinisekileyo bekulilize ukuyigcina imsulwa intliziyo yam

Nokuhlamba izandla zam ngobumsulwa.+

14 Ndakhathazeka imini yonke,+

Ndikhalinyelwa ntsasa nganye.+

15 Kodwa ukuba bendizithethile ezi zinto,

Bendiya kuba ndibajikele abantu bakho.*

16 Ndithe xa ndizama ukuyiqonda le nto,

Yandikhathaza

17 De ndangena kwingcwele ezukileyo kaThixo,

Ndayibona into eza kwenzeka kubo.

18 Ngokuqinisekileyo ubabeka endaweni emtyibilizi.+

Uyabawisa baze batshabalale.+

19 Bawa bhuma ngephanyazo!+

Isiphelo sabo esibuhlungu sifika ngephanyazo baze batshabalale!

20 Owu Yehova, njengokuba emntu elilibala iphupha xa evuka,

Xa uvuka, uza kuwususa* umfanekiso wabo.

21 Kodwa intliziyo yam yayibuhlungu,+

Ndinento endihlabayo ngaphakathi.*

22 Ndandingacingi yaye ndingaziqondi izinto;

Ndandifana nje nesilwanyana esingenangqondo phambi kwakho.

23 Kodwa ngoku ndihlala ndikunye nawe;

Usibambile isandla sam sasekunene.+

24 Undikhokela ngecebiso lakho,+

Ibe emva koko uza kundenza ndizukiswe.+

25 Ngubani endinaye emazulwini?

Ayikho enye into endiyifunayo emhlabeni ngaphandle kwakho.+

26 Umzimba nentliziyo yam zisenokuphelelwa,

Kodwa uThixo uliliwa lentliziyo yam nesabelo sam ngonaphakade.+

27 Abo bacezela kude kuwe baza kutshabalala.

Uza kubacima igama* bonke abo bakushiyayo beziphatha kakubi.*+

28 Kodwa ke mna, kundilungele ukusondela kuThixo.+

INkosi enguMongami uYehova ndiyenze indawo endibalekela kuyo,

Ukuze ndithethe ngazo zonke izinto ozenzileyo.+

IMaskili.* Eka-Asafu.+

74 Owu Thixo, kutheni usilahle ngonaphakade?+

Kutheni uvutha* umsindo wakho emhlambini wedlelo lakho?+

 2 Bakhumbule abantu owabafumana* kudala,+

Isizwe owasikhulula saba lilifa lakho.+

Yikhumbule iNtaba YeZiyon owawuhlala kuyo.+

 3 Hamba uye kwiindawo ezitshabalele ngokupheleleyo.+

Utshaba lutshabalalise yonke into endaweni engcwele.+

 4 Iintshaba zakho zagquma phakathi endaweni yakho yokuhlangana,+

Zaxhoma iiflegi zazo apho.

 5 Zazifana namadoda agawula ihlathi elishinyeneyo.

 6 Zayophula ngamazembe nangeentsimbi yonke imihombiso ekuyo.+

 7 Zayitshisa indawo yakho engcwele.+

Zayingcolisa, zayidiliza intente engcwele enegama lakho.

 8 Zona nenzala yazo zithe ezintliziyweni zazo:

“Zonke iindawo zikaThixo ekudityanwa kuzo* zimele zitshiswe elizweni.”

 9 Akukho ziflegi sizibonayo thina;

Akusekho nomprofeti lo,

Ibe akukho namnye kuthi owaziyo ukuba koda kube nini na.

10 Luya kukunxwala de kube nini na utshaba Thixo?+

Ngaba utshaba luza kulidelela ngonaphakade igama lakho?+

11 Kutheni usifihlile isandla sakho, isandla sakho sasekunene?+

Sikhuphe esifubeni sakho uze uzitshabalalise.

12 Kodwa uThixo ebenguKumkani kwakudala,

Lowo usindisayo emhlabeni.+

13 Wena uluzamazamise ngamandla akho ulwandle;+

Uziqhekezile iintloko zezilo ezikhulu zaselwandle.

14 Uzihlekezile iintloko zeLeviyatan;*

Uyinike abantu ukuba bayitye, abo bahleli entlango.

15 Wena wakhupha amanzi emithonjeni nasemifuleni;+

Womisa imilambo engatshiyo.+

16 Yeyakho imini nobusuku.

Nguwe owenza ukukhanya kwanelanga.+

17 Wamisela yonke imida yomhlaba;+

Wenza ihlobo nobusika.+

18 Khumbula indlela olukunyevulele ngayo utshaba Yehova,

Nendlela abantu abazizidenge abalidelele ngayo igama lakho.+

19 Sukubunikela erhamncweni ubomi behobe lasendle.

Ungabulibali ngonaphakade ubomi babantu bakho abasentlungwini.

20 Sikhumbule isivumelwano sakho,

Kuba iindawo ezimnyama zomhlaba zigcwele inkohlakalo.

21 Makangadani lowo utyunyuziweyo;+

Mabalidumise igama lakho abo bangathathi ntweni nabahlwempuzekileyo.+

22 Khawuphakame Thixo, uzithethelele.

Khumbula indlela izidenge ezikunxwale ngayo imini yonke.+

23 Ungazilibali izinto ezithethwa ziintshaba zakho.

Ingxolo yabo bakudelelayo iqhubeka inyukela phezulu.

Kumalathisi. Mayidlalwe ngethi “Sukonakalisa.” Eka-Asafu.+ Ingoma.

75 Siyakubulela, owu Thixo, siyakubulela;

Igama lakho lisondele,+

Ibe abantu bathetha ngemisebenzi yakho emangalisayo.

 2 Wena uthi: “Emva kokuba ndibeke ixesha lokugweba,

Ndigweba ngobulungisa.

 3 Ndim owaqinisa iintsika zomhlaba,

Xa wanyibilikayo wona nabemi bawo.” (Selah)

 4 Ndithi kwabo baqhayisayo, “Sanukuqhayisa,”

Nakubenzi-bubi, “Sanukuqhayisa ngamandla enu.*

 5 Sanukuqhayisa ngamandla enu*

Okanye nithethe ngokuzidla.

 6 Kaloku ukuphakanyiswa

Akuveli empuma okanye entshona okanye emzantsi.

 7 Kuba nguThixo uMgwebi.+

Uyamthoba omnye, amphakamise omnye.+

 8 Kuba kukho indebe esandleni sikaYehova;+

Iwayini iyabila ibe ixutywe ngokupheleleyo.

Ngokuqinisekileyo uza kuyigalela,

Bonke abenzi-bubi basemhlabeni baza kusela nkqu nentlenge.”+

 9 Kodwa mna ndiza kuthetha ngayo ngonaphakade;

Ndiza kumdumisa ngengoma* uThixo kaYakobi.

10 Kuba uthi: “Ndiza kuwaphelisa amandla* abenzi-bubi,

Kodwa amandla* amalungisa aza kongezwa.”

Kumalathisi; mayidlalwe ngemirhubhe. Ingoma emnandi ka-Asafu.+ Ingoma.

76 UThixo uyaziwa kwaYuda;+

Likhulu igama lakhe kwaSirayeli.+

 2 Indawo yakhe ekhuselekileyo iseSalem,+

Nendawo yakhe yokuhlala iseZiyon.+

 3 Wazaphulela apho iintolo zesaphetha ezivuthayo,

Waphula ikhaka, ikrele nezixhobo zemfazwe.+ (Selah)

 4 Uqaqambe kakhulu;

Umkhulu ngaphezu kweentaba ekuzingelwa kuzo.

 5 Amakroti aphangwa,+

Elele cum onke,

Kungekho nto anokuyenza.+

 6 Uthe nje wakukhalima wena Thixo kaYakobi,

Walala yoyi umqhubi wenqwelo nehashe lakhe.+

 7 Nguwe wedwa omangalisayo.+

Ngubani onokumelana nawe xa unomsindo?+

 8 Wawisa isigwebo usezulwini;+

Umhlaba woyika waza wee cwaka+

 9 Xa uThixo waphakamayo ukuze awise isigwebo,

Ukuze asindise bonke abalulamileyo basemhlabeni.+ (Selah)

10 Kuba umsindo wabantu uza kwenza udunyiswe;+

Wena uza kuzihombisa nangoseleyo kumsindo wabo.

11 Fungani kuYehova uThixo wenu, nize nizenze izinto enizifungileyo.+

Mabamphathele isipho besoyika bonke abamngqongileyo.+

12 Uza kulithoba ikratshi leenkokheli;*

Ubenza bamoyike ookumkani bomhlaba.

Kumalathisi; mayidlalwe ngeYedutun.* Eka-Asafu.+ Ingoma emnandi.

77 Ngelizwi lam ndiza kukhalela kuThixo;

Ndiza kukhalela kuye, ibe uza kundiva.+

 2 Xa ndisentlungwini ndikhangela uYehova.+

Izandla zam ndizolulela kuye ubusuku bonke,

Ibe andithuthuzeleki.

 3 Ndithi ndakukhumbula uThixo ndincwine;+

Ndikhathazekile kwaye ndiphelelwa ngamandla.+ (Selah)

 4 Awuvumi ukuba avaleke amehlo am;

Ndixakwe nakukuthetha ziinkathazo.

 5 Ndikhumbula iimini zakudala,+

Iminyaka eyadlulayo.

 6 Ebusuku ndihlala ndikhumbula ingoma yam;*+

Ndizikisa ukucinga entliziyweni yam,+

Ndize ndiphandisise.*

 7 Uza kusilahla ngonaphakade na uYehova?+

Akasoze aphinde asamkele na?+

 8 Luphele tu na uthando lwakhe olungagungqiyo?

Azizukusifumana zonke na izizukulwana isithembiso sakhe?

 9 UThixo ulibele na ukuba nenceba,+

Okanye umsindo wakhe umenze waphelelwa yinceba? (Selah)

10 Ngaba ndimele ndiqhubeke ndisithi: “Nantsi eyona nto indityayo:*+

Oyena Uphakamileyo usijikele”?*

11 Ndiza kuyikhumbula imisebenzi kaYa;

Ndiza kuyikhumbula imimangaliso yakho yakudala.

12 Ndiza kucingisisa ngayo yonke imisebenzi yakho,

Ndetyise nangezinto ozenzileyo.+

13 Owu Thixo, iindlela zakho zingcwele.

Nguwuphi na uthixo omkhulu njengawe, wena Thixo?+

14 UnguThixo wokwenene, owenza izinto ezimangalisayo.+

Uzibonisile izizwana ukuba unamandla.+

15 Ubasindise* ngamandla akho* abantu bakho,+

Oonyana bakaYakobi nabakaYosefu. (Selah)

16 Amanzi akubonile Thixo;

Akubonile aza agxobheka.+

Atsho ayaluzela amanzi anzulu.

17 Amafu akhupha izantyalantyala zemvula.

Kwasibekela kwaza kwaduduma,

Neentolo zakho zaya ngapha nangapha.+

18 Isandi sendudumo yakho+ sasingathi ngamavili enqwelo;

Ukutshawuza kwemibane kwawutsho waqhakraza umhlaba;+

Umhlaba wangcangcazela waza wanyikima.+

19 Wena wanqumla elwandle,+

Wanqumla emanzini amaninzi;

Kodwa awuzange ushiye mkhondo.

20 Wabakhokela oku komhlambi abantu bakho,+

Ngesandla sikaMoses noAron.+

IMaskili.* Eka-Asafu.+

78 Mamelani umthetho wam* bantu bam;

Wathobeleni indlebe amazwi omlomo wam.

 2 Ndiza kufundisa ngemizekelo.

Ndiza kuthetha ngamaqhalo amandulo.+

 3 Izinto esazivayo nesizaziyo,

Esazibaliselwa ngootata bethu,+

 4 Asizukuzifihla koonyana bethu;

Siza kuzibalisa kwisizukulwana esilandelayo+

Izinto ezinkulu ezenziwe nguYehova, namandla akhe,+

Izinto ezimangalisayo azenzileyo.+

 5 Wamisela uYakobi isikhumbuzo

Wabeka umthetho kwaSirayeli;

Wayalela ookhokho bethu

Ukuba bazixelele abantwana babo ezi zinto,+

 6 Ukuze isizukulwana esilandelayo,

Abantwana abaseza kuzalwa bazazi.+

Bona baxelele ababo abantwana.+

 7 Abantwana babo babeza kutsho bathembele kuThixo.

Babengazukuyilibala imisebenzi kaThixo,+

Kodwa babeza kuthobela imiyalelo yakhe.+

 8 Ngoko babengazukufana nookhokho babo,

Isizukulwana esineenkani nesingathobeliyo,+

Isizukulwana esinentliziyo egungqayo*+

Nesingathembekanga kuThixo.

 9 AmaEfrayim arhoxa ngemini yedabi

Nangona ayexhobe ngesaphetha.

10 Awazange asigcine isivumelwano sikaThixo,+

Ala ukuhamba ngomthetho wakhe.+

11 Alibala nezinto awazenzayo,+

Izinto ezimangalisayo awawabonisa zona.+

12 Wenza imimangaliso phambi kwamehlo ookhokho bawo,+

Elizweni laseYiputa, kummandla wakwaTsowan.+

13 Wahlukanisa ulwandle ukuze awele,

Wenza amanzi ema njengedama.*+

14 Wawakhokela ngelifu emini,

Wawakhokela ngokukhanya komlilo ubusuku bonke.+

15 Waqhekeza amawa entlango,

Wawaseza onela kumanzi anzulu.+

16 Wampompozisa imisinga eliweni,

Wakhupha amanzi ehla njengemilambo.+

17 Kodwa aqhubeka emona

Ngokumvukela entlango Oyena Uphakamileyo;+

18 Amvavanya uThixo ezintliziyweni zawo+

Ngokukufuna ngenkani ukutya.

19 Amnyemba uThixo,

Esithi: “Angakwazi na uThixo ukudeka itafile entlango?”+

20 Jonga! Wabetha iliwa

Ukuze kuphume amanzi, nokuba kuphuphume imisinga.+

Kodwa kwawona abuza: “Angakwazi na ukusinika nesonka,

Okanye ukubanika inyama abantu bakhe?”+

21 Xa uYehova wawevayo, waba nomsindo,+

Wamtshisa ngomlilo+ uYakobi,

Wacatshukiswa kakhulu ngamaSirayeli+

22 Kuba awazange abe nokholo kuThixo;+

Awazange amthembe ukuba uyakwazi ukuwasindisa.

23 Ngoko wayalela amafu phezulu,

Wavula iingcango zezulu.

24 Waqhubeka ewanisela imana ukuze atye;

Wawanika iinkozo ezivela ezulwini.+

25 Abantu batya isonka samakroti;*+

Wabanika esaneleyo ukuze bahluthe.+

26 Wavusa umoya wasempuma emazulwini,

Wabhudlisa umoya wasemzantsi ngamandla akhe.+

27 Wabanisela inyama ngokungathi luthuli,

Iintaka ngokungathi yisanti yaselwandle.

28 Waziwisa phakathi enkampini,

Kwiintente zakhe, macala onke.

29 Bazingxala ngazo bephanga;

Wabanika into ababeyirhalela.+

30 Kodwa bathi bengekoneli,

Kusesemlonyeni oko kutya,

31 UThixo waba nomsindo.+

Wabulala awona omeleleyo kumadoda abo;+

Wabulala abafana bakwaSirayeli.

32 Nakuba kunjalo, baya besona nakakhulu+

Baza abayikholelwa imisebenzi yakhe emangalisayo.+

33 Ngoko wayiphelisa imihla yabo, yathi shwaka oku komphunga,+

Iminyaka yabo yaphela ngentlekele.

34 Qho uThixo ebabulala, babehlala bebuyela kuye;+

Babebuya baze bamkhangele,

35 Bekhumbula ukuba uThixo wayeliLiwa labo,+

Nokuba uThixo ongOyena Uphakamileyo wayenguMkhululi* wabo.+

36 Kodwa babezama ukumqhatha ngemilomo yabo

Bemxokisa ngolwimi lwabo.

37 Iintliziyo zabo zazigungqa,+

Bengathembekanga kwisivumelwano sakhe.+

38 Kodwa wayenenceba;+

Wayezixolela* izono zabo aze angabatshabalalisi.+

Endaweni yokuba acaphuke,+

Wayewubamba umsindo wakhe.

39 Kuba wayekhumbula ukuba bayinyama,+

Umoya ovuthuza ugqithe, ungabuyi.*

40 Babemane bemvukela,+

Bemkhathaza entlango!+

41 Babesoloko bemvavanya uThixo,+

Bemkhathaza* Lowo Ungcwele kaSirayeli.

42 Abazange bawakhumbule amandla akhe,*

Imini awabasindisa* ngayo kutshaba lwabo,+

43 Indlela awababonisa ngayo imiqondiso eYiputa+

Nemimangaliso yakhe kummandla wakwaTsowan,

44 Nendlela awayijika ngayo yaba ligazi imisinga yomNayile+

Ukuze amaYiputa angakwazi ukusela kwimifula yawo.

45 Wathumela ibubu lezibawu ukuze ziwatye+

Namasele ukuze onakalise kwelo lizwe.+

46 Wanikela amasimi awo kwiinkumbi ezitshabalalisayo,

Nomvuzo wokusebenza kwawo nzima kwibubu leenkumbi.+

47 Imithi yawo yeediliya wayitshabalalisa ngesichotho+

Nemithi yawo yesikamore ngamatye esichotho.

48 Wantlitha izilwanyana zawo ngesichotho+

Nemfuyo yawo wayibetha ngombane.*

49 Wawukhuphela kuwo umsindo wakhe,

Umsindo nokucaphuka,

Imikhosi yeengelosi yawatshabalalisa.

50 Wawulungiselela indlela umsindo wakhe,

Akawasindisa ekufeni,

Waza wawabulala ngesifo* esingubhubhani.

51 Ekugqibeleni wabulala onke amazibulo amaYiputa,+

Ebulala isiqalo samandla awo okuzala kwiintente zakwaHam.

52 Emva koko wabakhupha njengeegusha abantu bakhe,+

Wabalusa njengomhlambi entlango.

53 Wabakhokela bekhuselekile,

Bengoyiki nto;+

Iintshaba zabo zaginywa lulwandle.+

54 Wabazisa kummandla wakhe ongcwele,+

Ummandla weentaba awawufumana ngesandla sakhe sasekunene.+

55 Wazigxotha iintlanga phambi kwabo;+

Wabasikela ilifa ngentambo yokumeta,+

Izizwe zakwaSirayeli wazibeka emakhayeni azo.+

56 Kodwa amaSirayeli aqhubeka emvavanya futhi engamthobeli uThixo ongOyena Uphakamileyo,+

Engazihoyi izikhumbuzo zakhe.+

57 Amjikela aza aba namaqhinga njengookhokho bawo.+

Ayengathembekanga oku kwesaphetha esityeketyeke.+

58 Aqhubeka emcaphukisa ngeendawo zawo eziphakamileyo,+

Aza amenza wanomsindo* ngemifanekiso yawo eqingqiweyo.+

59 UThixo wayibona le nto waza waba nomsindo,+

Wamlahla ngokupheleleyo uSirayeli.

60 Ekugqibeleni wayilahla intente engcwele yaseShilo,+

Intente awayehlala kuyo phakathi kwabantu.+

61 Wanikela oko kumele amandla akhe ekuthinjweni;

Oko kumele ubukhulu bakhe wakunikela kutshaba.+

62 Waqhubeka ebanikela ekreleni abantu bakhe,+

Wavutha umsindo wakhe kwilifa lakhe.

63 Abafana bakhe baqwengwa ngumlilo,

Neentombi zakhe azaculelwa ngoma zomtshato.*

64 Ababingeleli bakhe bawa ngekrele,+

Abalilelwa nangabahlolokazi babo.+

65 Waza wavuka uYehova, ngokungathi uvuka ebuthongweni,+

Njengegorha+ liqabuka kwiwayini.

66 Wazidudula ezigxotha iintshaba zakhe;+

Wazihlazisa ngonaphakade.

67 Wayilahla intente kaYosefu;

Akasikhetha isizwe sakwaEfrayim.

68 Kodwa wakhetha isizwe sakwaYuda,+

INtaba YeZiyon, leyo ayithandayo.+

69 Wayenza yahlala ngonaphakade njengamazulu indawo yakhe engcwele,*+

Njengomhlaba awumise ngonaphakade.+

70 Wakhetha umkhonzi wakhe uDavide+

Emthatha kubuhlanti beegusha,+

71 Wamthatha ekongeni amatakane,

Emzisa ekwaluseni uYakobi ongabantu bakhe,+

USirayeli olilifa lakhe.+

72 Wazimisela ngokusuka entliziyweni ukubalusa,+

Ebaqhuba ngesandla esinobuchule.+

Ingoma emnandi ka-Asafu.+

79 Owu Thixo, iintlanga zilihlasele ilifa lakho;+

Ziyingcolisile itempile yakho engcwele;+

IYerusalem ziyenze imfumba yamabhodlo.+

 2 Izidumbu zabakhonzi bakho zizinike iintaka zezulu ukuba zizitye,

Inyama yabo bathembekileyo kuwe ziyinike amarhamncwa omhlaba.+

 3 Igazi labo zilichithe okwamanzi kuyo yonke iYerusalem

Ibe akukho mntu ushiyekileyo wokubangcwaba.+

 4 Siye saba yinto yokunxwalwa ngabamelwane bethu;+

Abantu abasingqongileyo bayasigxeka besigezela.

 5 Owu Yehova, uza kuba nomsindo de kube nini? Ngonaphakade?+

Kuza kude kube nini umsindo wakho uvutha njengomlilo?+

 6 Khuphela umsindo wakho kwiintlanga ezingakwaziyo,

Nakwizizwe ezingabiziyo egameni lakho.+

 7 Kuba zimdle zamgqiba uYakobi,

Zalitshabalalisa ilizwe lakhe.+

 8 Sukusiphendulisa ngezono zookhokho bethu.+

Khawuleza usibonise inceba yakho,+

Kuba singamahlwempu.

 9 Sincede Thixo wosindiso lwethu,+

Ngenxa yegama lakho elizukileyo;

Sisindise uze uzixolele* izono zethu ngenxa yegama lakho.+

10 Kutheni zimele zithi iintlanga: “Uphi na uThixo wabo?”+

Mazaziswe phambi kwamehlo ethu iintlanga

Ukuba ukuchithwa kwegazi labakhonzi bakho kuphindezelwe.+

11 Kwanga ungakuva ukugcuma kwebanjwa.+

Basindise* ngamandla akho* abo bagwetyelwe ukufa.+

12 Babuyekeze kasixhenxe abamelwane bethu+

Ngenxa yendlela abakunxwale ngayo, Yehova.+

13 Thina bantu bakho nomhlambi wedlelo lakho,+

Siza kukubulela ngonaphakade;

Siza kukudumisa kwizizukulwana ngezizukulwana.+

Kumalathisi; mayidlalwe ngethi “iiNyibiba.” Isikhumbuzo. Eka-Asafu.+ Ingoma emnandi.

80 Sicela umamele Malusi kaSirayeli,

Wena umkhokela njengomhlambi uYosefu.+

Qaqamba* wena uhlala etroneni entla* kweekherubhi.+

 2 Wavuselele amandla akho,

Phambi koEfrayim, uBhenjamin noManase;+

Yiza usisindise.+

 3 Owu Thixo, phinda usamkele;+

Uze ubukhanyise ubuso bakho ukuze sisindiswe.+

 4 Owu Yehova Thixo wemikhosi, kuza kude kube nini ungafuni nokuyibona* imithandazo yabantu bakho?+

 5 Ubatyisa iinyembezi ngathi sisonka;

Ubaseza iinyembezi ngendlela engathethekiyo.

 6 Uvumela abamelwane bethu balwe ngathi;

Iintshaba zethu ziqhubeka zikhwela zizehlela kuthi.+

 7 Owu Thixo wemikhosi, phinda usamkele;

Uze ubukhanyise ubuso bakho ukuze sisindiswe.+

 8 Wawuthatha eYiputa umthi weediliya.+

Wagxotha iintlanga, waza wawutyala.+

 9 Wawuvulela indawo,

Zamila iingcambu zawo, wagcwala ilizwe.+

10 Iintaba zogqunywa ngumthunzi wawo,

Nemisedare kaThixo ngamasebe awo.

11 Amasebe awo ayede afike elwandle,

Namasetyana awo efika eMlanjeni.*+

12 Uzidilizele ntoni iindonga zamasimi eediliya,+

Njengokuba ngoku abantu abadlula ngendlela bezinceda ngeziqhamo zawo?+

13 Uvuthululwa ziingulube,

Neenyamakazi ziyawubhuqa.+

14 Owu Thixo wemikhosi, sicela ubuye.

Jonga usezulwini uze ubone!

Wukhathalele lo mthi,+

15 Isikhondo esityalwe sisandla sakho sasekunene,+

Uze umjonge unyana owamomeleza* ngokwakho.+

16 Ugawulwe waza watshiswa.+

Abantu bayatshabalala usakubakhalimela.*

17 Akwaba isandla sakho singayixhasa indoda engasekunene kwakho,

Unyana womntu ozomelezele yena.+

18 Xa kunjalo, asizukukushiya.

Sigcine siphila, ukuze sikwazi ukukhalela egameni lakho.

19 Owu Yehova Thixo wemikhosi, phinda usamkele;

Ubukhanyise ubuso bakho ukuze sisindiswe.+

Kumalathisi; mayidlalwe ngeGititi.* Eka-Asafu.+

81 Khwazani ngovuyo kuThixo ongamandla ethu.+

Khwazani ngoloyiso oluvela kuThixo kaYakobi.

 2 Hlabelani ingoma nize nithathe igubu,

Nidlale ingoma emnandi ngohadi nomrhubhe.

 3 Vuthelani uphondo ekuthwaseni kwenyanga,+

Naxa inyanga iphelele, ngemini yetheko lethu.+

 4 Kaloku lowo ngummiselo kaSirayeli,

Ngumthetho owamiselwa nguThixo kaYakobi.+

 5 Wawenza wasisikhumbuzo kuYosefu+

Mhla wahlasela ilizwe laseYiputa.+

Ndeva ilizwi endingalaziyo* lisithi:

 6 “Ndawothula umthwalo emagxeni abo;+

Ndaziphumza izandla zabo ekuphatheni iibhaskithi.

 7 Nandikhalela nisentlungwini, ndanisindisa;+

Ndaniphendula ndikwilifu elineendudumo.*+

Ndanivavanya emanzini aseMeribha.*+ (Selah)

 8 Mamelani, bantu bam, ndiza kunilumkisa.

Owu Sirayeli, akwaba ubunokundimamela.+

 9 Phakathi kwakho, akuzukubakho thixo wasemzini,

Ibe awuzukuqubuda komnye uthixo.+

10 Mna, Yehova, ndinguThixo wakho,

Owakukhupha kwilizwe laseYiputa.+

Khamisa, ndize ndikutyise uhluthe.+

11 Kodwa abantu bam abazange balimamele ilizwi lam;

USirayeli akazange andithobele.+

12 Ngoko ndabayekela kwezo nkani zabo;

Benza ukuthanda kwabo.*+

13 Akwaba abantu bam bebenokundimamela,+

Akwaba uSirayeli ebenokuhamba ezindleleni zam!+

14 Bendiza kuzithi qwaka-qwaka iintshaba zakhe;

Bendiza kubabhuqa abo bamhlaselayo.+

15 Baza koyika phambi kukaYehova abo bamcaphukelayo,

Ibe intlekele yabo iza* kuhlala ngonaphakade.

16 Kodwa nina* uza kunondla ngengqolowa yodidi,*+

Nibutye nanele ubusi obuseliweni.”+

Ingoma emnandi ka-Asafu.+

82 UThixo uma kwibandla elingcwele;*+

Ugweba phakathi koothixo,* esithi:+

 2 “Kuza kude kube nini na ningagwebi ngobulungisa,+

Niqhubeka nixhasa abenzi-bubi?+ (Selah)

 3 Bathetheleleni* abo bangenanto nabangenatata.+

Baphatheni ngobulungisa abo bangenakuzinceda nabangenanto.+

 4 Basindiseni abo bangenanto nabangamahlwempu;

Basindiseni esandleni sabenzi-bubi.”

 5 Abazi, yaye abaqondi;+

Bafathula ebumnyameni;

Zonke iziseko zomhlaba ziyashukunyiswa.+

 6 “Mna ke ndithe, ‘Ningoothixo,*+

Nonke ningoonyana bOyena Uphakamileyo.

 7 Kodwa niza kufa njengamntu wonke,+

Niwe njengazo zonke ezinye iinkosana!’”+

 8 Phakama Thixo, ugwebe umhlaba,+

Kuba zezakho zonke iintlanga.

Ingoma. Ingoma emnandi ka-Asafu.+

83 Owu Thixo, sukuthula;+

Sukuthi cwaka, ungathethi, yhini Thixo.

 2 Kuba jonga! nazo zingxola iintshaba zakho;+

Abo bakucaphukelayo bayakuphakamela.*

 3 Babacingela amaqhinga abantu bakho;

Babenzela amayelenqe abo ubathandayo.*

 4 Bathi: “Yizani silucime igama olu hlanga,+

Ukuze igama likaSirayeli lingaze likhunjulwe.”

 5 Bamanyene ngeqhinga;*

Badibene* ngawe.+

 6 Kudibene iintente zikaEdom namaIshmayeli, uMowabhi+ namaHagri,+

 7 UGebhali noAmoni+ noAmaleki,

ElamaFilisti+ kunye nabemi baseTire.+

 8 NeAsiriya+ ikwelo;

Ixhasa oonyana* bakaLote.+ (Selah)

 9 Khawubenze laa nto wayenza kwiMidiyan,+

Leyo wayenza kuSisera noYabhin kumfula waseKishon.+

10 Batshatyalaliselwa e-Endore+

Bangumgquba womhlaba.

11 Yenza izikhulu zabo zibe njengo-Orebhi noZehebhe,+

Neenkosana* zabo zibe njengoZebha noTsalmuna,+

12 Kuba bathe: “Makhe sizithathele laa mhlaba uThixo ahlala kuwo.”

13 Owu Thixo wam, benze babe njengesivuthu-vuthu sameva,+

Njengeendiza eziphetshethwa ngumoya.

14 Njengedangatye elitshisa ihlathi,

Njengomlilo otshisa iintaba,+

15 Akwaba ungabaleqa ngesitshingitshane sakho,+

Uboyikise ngesaqhwithi sakho.+

16 Bogqume* ngehlazo ubuso babo,

Ukuze balikhangele igama lakho, Yehova.

17 Akwaba bangahlaziswa baze batyhwatyhwe ngonaphakade;

Kwanga bangahlazeka, kuphele kuthi nya ngabo;

18 Kwanga abantu bangazi ukuba wena, ogama linguYehova,+

Nguwe wedwa Oyena Uphakamileyo phezu komhlaba wonke.+

Eya kumalathisi; mayidlalwe ngeGititi.* Eyoonyana bakaKora.+ Ingoma emnandi.

84 Owu Yehova wemikhosi,+

Ithandeka ngeyona ndlela intente yakho engcwele nezukileyo!

 2 Ndikufuna ngentliziyo yam yonke

Ukuya eyadini kaYehova;

Ndikulangazelela ngeyona ndlela.+

Intliziyo yam nenyama yam imkhwaza ngovuyo uThixo ophilayo.

 3 Kwanentaka izakhele apho,

Nenkonjane yazifumanela indlwane,

Apho iwabeke khona amantshontsho ayo

Kufutshane nesibingelelo sakho esizukileyo, Yehova wemikhosi,

Kumkani wam noThixo wam!

 4 Bonwabile abo bahlala endlini yakho!+

Baqhubeka bekudumisa.+ (Selah)

 5 Bonwabile abantu abafumana amandla kuwe,+

Abazimisele ngentliziyo yabo yonke ukuhamba koohola bendlela.

 6 Xa bedlula kwiNtlambo Yemibhaka,*

Bayenza ibe nemithombo,

Ize imvula iyizisele iintsikelelo.*

 7 Baza kuya besomelela njengokuba behamba,+

Ngamnye abonakale phambi koThixo eZiyon.

 8 Owu Yehova Thixo wemikhosi, wuve umthandazo wam;

Ndimamele, owu yhini Thixo kaYakobi. (Selah)

 9 Khawujonge, khaka lethu,+ Thixo wethu,*

Jonga ubuso bothanjisiweyo wakho.+

10 Kuba usuku eyadini yakho lubhetele kuneentsuku eziliwaka kwenye indawo!+

Ndikhetha ukuma emgubasini wendlu yoThixo wam

Kunokuhlala ezintenteni zabenzi-bubi.

11 Kuba uYehova uThixo ulilanga+ nekhaka;+

Ubonisa ububele aze anike uzuko.

UYehova akabavimbi nantoni na elungileyo

Abo bangasolekiyo.+

12 Owu Yehova wemikhosi,

Wonwabile umntu othembela ngawe.+

Eya kumalathisi. Eyoonyana bakaKora.+ Ingoma emnandi.

85 Uyalithanda Yehova, ilizwe lakho;+

Ubabuyisile abantu bakaYakobi ababethinjiwe.+

 2 Usixolele isiphoso sabantu bakho;

Usixolele* sonke isono sabo.+ (Selah)

 3 Uwubambile umsindo wakho,

Wakuthomalalisa ukuvutha komsindo wakho.+

 4 Phinda usamkele,* owu yhini Thixo wosindiso lwethu,

Uze uyeke ukusiqumbela.+

 5 Ngaba uza kuhlala unomsindo ngonaphakade?+

Ngaba uza kuhlala uqumbile ukusa kwizizukulwana ngezizukulwana?

 6 Ngaba awuzukuphinda usihlaziye

Ukuze abantu bakho bavuyiswe nguwe?+

 7 Owu Yehova, sithande ngokungagungqiyo,+

Uze usisindise.

 8 Ndiza kuyimamela into ethethwa nguYehova uThixo wokwenene,

Kuba uza kuthetha amazwi oxolo kubantu bakhe,+ kwabo bathembekileyo,

Kodwa mabangaphindi bazithembe ngokugqithiseleyo.+

 9 Ngokuqinisekileyo usindiso lwakhe lukufutshane kwabo bamoyikayo,+

Ukuze uzuko lwakhe luhlale elizweni lethu.

10 Uthando olungagungqiyo nokuthembeka ziza kuhlangabezana;

Ubulungisa noxolo ziza kuncamisana.+

11 Ukuthembeka kuza kuntshula emhlabeni,

Bona ubulungisa bujonge phantsi busemazulwini.+

12 UYehova uza kusinika izinto ezintle zodwa,*+

Nelizwe lethu livelise ukutya okuninzi.+

13 Ngaphambi kwakhe kuza kuhamba ubulungisa,+

Bumvulele indlela amakahambe kuyo.

Umthandazo kaDavide.

86 Owu Yehova, ndithobele indlebe yakho,* undiphendule,

Kuba ndisentlungwini kwaye ndilihlwempu.+

 2 Bukhusele ubomi bam, kuba ndithembekile.+

Msindise umkhonzi wakho othembele ngawe,

Kaloku wena unguThixo wam.+

 3 Ndicela undenzele inceba Yehova,+

Kuba ndikhalela kuwe imini yonke.+

 4 Menze onwabe umkhonzi wakho,

Kuba ndibalekela kuwe, owu Yehova.

 5 Kaloku wena Yehova, ulungile+ futhi usoloko ufuna ukuxolela;+

Uthando lwakho olungagungqiyo luyaphuphuma kwabo bakhalela kuwe.+

 6 Owu Yehova, wumamele umthandazo wam;

Ndicela undimamele xa ndicela uncedo.+

 7 Ndiza kukhalela kuwe xa ndikhathazekile,+

Kuba wena uza kundiphendula.+

 8 Owu Yehova, akukho thixo unjengawe,+

Ayikho imisebenzi enjengeyakho.+

 9 Zonke iintlanga ozidalileyo

Ziza kuza ziqubude phambi kwakho, Yehova,+

Zizukise negama lakho.+

10 Kuba umkhulu yaye wenza izinto ezimangalisayo;+

Nguwe wedwa uThixo.+

11 Ndifundise indlela yakho Yehova.+

Ndiza kuhamba enyanisweni yakho.+

Ndinike intliziyo emanyeneyo ukuze iloyike igama lakho.+

12 Ndikudumisa ngentliziyo yam yonke Yehova Thixo wam;+

Ndiza kulizukisa ngonaphakade igama lakho,

13 Kaloku wena undithanda ngokungagungqiyo ngeyona ndlela,

Ubusindise kumazantsi engcwaba* ubomi bam.+

14 Owu Thixo, ndihlaselwa ngamadoda azigqatsayo;+

Iqela lezikhohlakali lifuna ukundibulala,

Ibe alikuboneli ntweni.+

15 Kodwa wena Yehova, unguThixo onenceba nobavelayo abantu,*

Ocaphuka kade, ophuphuma luthando olungagungqiyo nokuthembeka.*+

16 Buyela kum, undenzele inceba.+

Mnike amandla akho umkhonzi wakho,+

Uze umsindise unyana wekhobokazana lakho.

17 Ndinike ubungqina bokulunga kwakho,

Ukuze ubonwe ngabo bandicaphukelayo baze bahlazeke.

Kuba wena Yehova, ungumncedi nomthuthuzeli wam.

Eyoonyana bakaKora.+ Ingoma emnandi. Ingoma.

87 Isiseko sesixeko sakhe sisezintabeni ezingcwele.+

 2 UYehova uthanda iigeyithi zeZiyon+

Ngaphezu kwazo zonke iintente zikaYakobi.

 3 Kuthethwa izinto ezizukileyo ngawe, wena sixeko sikaThixo wokwenene.+

(Selah)

 4 Ndiza kuyibala kwabo bandaziyo* iRahabhi+ neBhabhiloni;

Nantsi iFilisti neTire, kunye noKushe.

Kuza kuthiwa: “Lo wazalelwa apho.”

 5 Yaye kuza kuthiwa ngeZiyon:

“Bonke bazalelwa kuyo.”

Kwaye Oyena Uphakamileyo uza kuyimisa izinze.

 6 Xa ezibhala phantsi izizwana, uYehova uza kuthi:

“Lo wazalelwa apho.” (Selah)

 7 Iimvumi+ nabadanisi+ baza kuthi:

“Ikuwe yonke imithombo yam.”*+

Ingoma. Ingoma emnandi yoonyana bakaKora.+ Kumalathisi; mayidlalwe ngeMahalati,* iculwe ngokuphendulana. IMaskili* kaHeman+ umEzera.

88 Owu Yehova, Thixo wosindiso lwam,+

Emini ndikhalela kuwe,

Nasebusuku ndiza phambi kwakho.+

 2 Mawuvakale kuwe umthandazo wam,+

Ndithobele indlebe* xa ndikhalela uncedo.+

 3 Kuba umphefumlo* wam uzaliswe ziintlekele,+

Kwaye ubomi bam busecicini lengcwaba.*+

 4 Sendibalwa phakathi kwabo behla baye engcwabeni;+

Ndide ndayindoda engakwazi kuzenzela nto,*+

 5 Sendinikelwe kwabafileyo

Njengomntu obuleweyo olele engcwabeni,

Ongasakhunjulwayo

Nongasaxhaswayo nguwe.*

 6 Undithe tywa emngxunyeni onzulu,

Kwiindawo ezimnyama, emngxunyeni ongenasiphelo.

 7 Buyandoyisa ubushushu bomsindo wakho,+

Yaye undongamele ngamaza akho atshabalalisayo. (Selah)

 8 Ubagxothile abo ndibaqhelileyo;+

Undenze ndenyanyeka kubo.

Ndivalelekile ibe andikwazi kuphuncuka.

 9 Ilihlo lam lityhufu-tyhufu ngenxa yokuxhwaleka.+

Owu Yehova, ndikhalela kuwe imini yonke;+

Ndizolulela kuwe izandla zam.

10 Uza kubenzela na imimangaliso abo bafileyo?

Bangavuka na ekufeni baze bakudumise?+ (Selah)

11 Kuza kuthethwa ngalo engcwabeni na uthando lwakho olungagungqiyo,

Kuthethwe ngokuthembeka kwakho kwindawo yabo batshabaleleyo?*

12 Ngaba imimangaliso yakho iza kwaziwa ebumnyameni,

Okanye ubulungisa bakho kwilizwe lokulibala?+

13 Kodwa ndisakhalela kuwe Yehova, ndicela undincede,+

Ntsasa nganye ndithandaza kuwe.+

14 Owu Yehova, undilahleleni?+

Ubufihleleni ubuso bakho kum?+

15 Oko ndisentlungwini ukususela ebutsheni bam,

Ibe sele ndiza kutshabalala;+

Ndindindisholo ngenxa yezinto ezimbi ozivumeleyo ukuba zindehlele.

16 Umsindo wakho undongamele;+

Uyandinkwantyisa, ibe uyanditshabalalisa.

17 Undirhangqile njengamanzi imini yonke;

Undivingcele macala onke.*

18 Ubagxothile abahlobo bam nabo ndibaqhelileyo;+

Ekuphela komhlobo wam ngoku bubumnyama.

IMaskili.* EkaEtan+ umEzera.

89 Ndiza kucula ngothando lukaYehova olungagungqiyo ngonaphakade.

Ngomlomo wam ndiza kuxelela zonke izizukulwana ngokuthembeka kwakho.

 2 Kuba ndithe: “Uthando olungagungqiyo luza kuhlala ngonaphakade;+

Ibe ukuthembeka kwakho ukuzinzisile emazulwini.”

 3 “Ndenze isivumelwano nalowo ndimnyulileyo;+

Ndifunge ndathi kumkhonzi wam uDavide:+

 4 ‘Ndiza kuyizinzisa ngonaphakade inzala*+ yakho,

Ndiza kukwakhela itrone kuzo zonke izizukulwana.’”+ (Selah)

 5 Amazulu adumisa izinto ozenzileyo ezimangalisayo Yehova,

Ukuthembeka kwakho ebandleni labangcwele.

 6 Kuba ngubani emazulwini onokuthelekiswa noYehova?+

Ngubani onokufana noYehova koonyana bakaThixo?+

 7 Uyoyikwa uThixo kwibandla labangcwele;+

Mkhulu futhi uyamangalisa kubo bonke abamngqongileyo.+

 8 Owu Yehova Thixo wemikhosi,

Ngubani onamandla njengawe, owu Ya?+

Ungqongwe kukuthembeka kwakho.+

 9 Ulawula ulwandle olulwayo;+

Xa amaza alo esilwa, uyawazolisa.+

10 Uyicole oku komntu obuleweyo+ iRahabhi.+

Uzithe saa iintshaba zakho ngengalo yakho eyomeleleyo.+

11 Ngawakho amazulu, nomhlaba ikwangowakho;+

Udale umhlaba nezinto ezikuwo.+

12 Udale umntla nomzantsi;

ITabhore+ neHermon+ zidumisa igama lakho.

13 Ingalo yakho inamandla;+

Isandla sakho somelele;+

Isandla sakho sasekunene siphakamile.+

14 Itrone yakho isekelwe kubulungisa nokusesikweni;*+

Kumi phambi kwakho uthando olungagungqiyo nokuthembeka.+

15 Bonwabile abantu abakudumisa bevuya.+

Owu Yehova, bahamba ekukhanyeni kobuso bakho.

16 Bavuyiswa ligama lakho imini yonke,

Baphakanyiswa bubulungisa bakho.

17 Kuba uluzuko lwabo namandla abo;+

Ibe uthando lwakho luyasomeleza.+

18 Kuba ikhaka lethu lelikaYehova,

Nokumkani wethu ngowaLowo Ungcwele kaSirayeli.+

19 Ngelo xesha wathetha embonweni nabantu bakho abathembekileyo, wathi:

“Kukho igorha endilinike amandla,+

Endilinyulileyo nendiliphakamisileyo phakathi kwabantu.+

20 Ndimfumene umkhonzi wam uDavide;+

Ndimthambise ngeoli yam engcwele.+

21 Ndiza kumxhasa ngesandla sam,+

Nengalo yam iza kumomeleza.

22 Akukho lutshaba luza kufumana mrhumo kuye,

Kungekho namenzi-bubi uza kumcinezela.+

23 Ndiza kuziqhekeza zibe ziingceba phambi kwakhe iintshaba zakhe,+

Ndibulale nabo bamcaphukelayo.+

24 Ndiza kuthembeka kuye ndize ndimthande ngokungagungqiyo,+

Ndiza kumnika amandla* angakumbi, ngenxa yegama lam.

25 Ndiza kusibeka phezu kolwandle isandla sakhe,*

Ndibeke nesandla sakhe sasekunene phezu kwemilambo.+

26 Uza kundibiza athi: ‘UnguTata,

UThixo wam neLiwa lokusindiswa kwam.’+

27 Ibe ndiza kumenza izibulo,+

Oyena kumkani uphakamileyo emhlabeni.+

28 Ndiza kuhlala ndimthanda ngokungagungqiyo ngonaphakade,+

Nesivumelwano sam naye siza kuhlala sihleli.+

29 Ndiza kuyimisela ngonaphakade inzala* yakhe

Netrone yakhe ihlale ihleli njengamazulu.+

30 Ukuba oonyana bakhe bayawulahla umthetho wam

Baze bangahambi ngemiyalelo yam,*

31 Ukuba bayayilahla imimiselo yam

Bengayigcini nemiyalelo yam,

32 Ndiza kubohlwaya ngentonga ngenxa yokungathobeli kwabo+

Nesiphoso sabo ndisohlwaye ngemivumbo.

33 Kodwa andisoze ndiyeke ukumthanda ngokungagungqiyo+

Ndingasoze ndingayenzi into endimthembise yona.*

34 Andizukusaphula isivumelwano sam+

Okanye ndiwatshintshe amazwi endiwathethileyo.+

35 Ndifunge ngobungcwele bam, ngoku nangonaphakade;

Andizukumqhatha uDavide.+

36 Inzala* yakhe iza kuhlala ikho ngonaphakade;+

Itrone yakhe iza kuhlala ihleli okwelanga phambi kwam.+

37 Iza kuzinza ngonaphakade njengenyanga,

Njengengqina elithembekileyo esibhakabhakeni.” (Selah)

38 Kodwa wena uye wamlahla waza awafuna nokumbona,+

Wacatshukiswa ngumthanjiswa wakho.

39 Usilahlile isivumelwano sakho nomkhonzi wakho;

Usingcolisile isithsaba sakhe ngokusigibisela phantsi.

40 Uzidilize zonke iindonga zakhe;

Uzidilize zangamanxuwa iinqaba zakhe.

41 Bamoxuthele izinto bonke abo badlula kuye;

Uyinto yokuthukwa ngabamelwane bakhe.+

42 Uzenze zaphumelela iintshaba zakhe;*+

Uzenze zavuya zonke iintshaba zakhe.

43 Uye walidudulela ngasemva ikrele lakhe,

Awamxhasa nasedabini.

44 Ukucimile ukukhazimla kwakhe

Wayigadlela phantsi netrone yakhe.

45 Uyinqamle imihla yobutsha bakhe;

Umambathise ngehlazo. (Selah)

46 Uza kuzifihla kude kube nini na Yehova? Ngonaphakade?+

Uza kuqhubeka uvutha njengomlilo na umsindo wakho?

47 Khawukhumbule indlela obubufutshane ngayo ubomi bam!+

Wawubadalele ilize na abantu?

48 Ngubani onokuphila angaze afe?+

Angakwazi khona ukuzisindisa kumandla engcwaba?* (Selah)

49 Yaphelela phi na Yehova imisebenzi yakho yothando olungagungqiyo,

Le wafunga ngayo, ngokuthembeka kwakho, kuDavide?+

50 Owu yhini Yehova, ndicela ukhumbule indlela abagezelwa ngayo abakhonzi bakho;

Indlela ekufuneka ndinyamezele* ngayo ukuthukwa zizizwana zonke;

51 Indlela iintshaba zakho ezindigibisele ngayo ngezithuko, yhini Yehova,

Indlela ezimthele chu ngayo ngokusa umthanjiswa wakho, naphi na apho anyathela khona.

52 Makadunyiswe ngonaphakade uYehova. Amen, Amen.+

INCWADI YESINE

(IiNdumiso 90-106)

Umthandazo kaMoses, umntu kaThixo wokwenene.+

90 Owu Yehova, wena uye waba yindawo yethu yokuhlala*+ kuzo zonke izizukulwana.

 2 Ngaphambi kokuba iintaba zizalwe

Okanye ngaphambi kokuba wenze umhlaba nelizwe,*+

Ukususela ngonaphakade ukusa ngonaphakade, wena unguThixo.+

 3 Umntu ofayo umbuyisela eluthulini;

Uthi: “Buyelani, bonyana babantu.”+

 4 Kuba iminyaka eliwaka emehlweni akho injengosuku lwayizolo,+

Nanjengexesha likanogada ebusuku.

 5 Uyabatshayela;+ bafana nje nobuthongo;

Kusasa banjengengca ehlumayo.+

 6 Kusasa iyatyatyamba ibe luhlaza,

Kodwa ngokuhlwa iyabuna yome.+

 7 Kuba umsindo wakho asikwazi kuwunyamezela,+

Ibe siyakoyika ukucaphuka kwakho.

 8 Ubeka iziphoso zethu phambi kwakho;*+

Iimfihlo zethu zibhencwa kukuqaqamba kobuso bakho.+

 9 Ubomi bethu bugqitywa ngumsindo wakho;

Iminyaka yethu iphela kanye njengokusebeza.

10 Ubomi bethu buba yiminyaka eyi-70,

Okanye eyi-80+ kumntu owomeleleyo.*

Kodwa igcwele iingxaki neenkathazo;

Ikhawuleza idlule, siphaphazele simke.+

11 Ngubani onokuwaqonda amandla omsindo wakho?

Umsindo wakho ulingana nokoyikeka kwakho.+

12 Sifundise indlela yokubala imihla yethu+

Ukuze sibe nentliziyo enobulumko.

13 Buya Yehova!+ Kuza kude kube nini na?+

Khawubasizele abakhonzi bakho.+

14 Sanelise kusasa ngothando lwakho olungagungqiyo,+

Ukuze sikhwaze ngovuyo size sonwabe+ ubomi bethu bonke.

15 Senze sonwabe ngokulingana nemihla owasivisa intlungu ngayo,+

Ngokulingana neminyaka esehlelwa ngayo ziintlekele.+

16 Abakhonzi bakho mabawubone umsebenzi wakho,

Noonyana babo babubone ubukhulu bakho.+

17 Kwanga ububele bukaYehova uThixo wethu bungaba phezu kwethu;

Kwanga ungawenza uphumelele* umsebenzi wezandla zethu.

Ewe, wenze uphumelele* umsebenzi wezandla zethu.+

91 Nabani na ohleli kwindawo efihlakeleyo yOyena Uphakamileyo+

Uza kuphumla emthunzini kaSomandla.+

 2 Ndiza kuthi kuYehova: “Uyindawo yam yokubalekela nekhusi lam,+

Thixo wam endithembele ngaye.”+

 3 Kuba yena uza kukusindisa emgibeni wombambisi weentaka,

Kwisifo esingubhubhani esitshabalalisayo.

 4 Uza kubalekela phantsi kwamaphiko akhe,

Aze yena akogqume* ngeentsiba zakhe.+

Ukuthembeka kwakhe+ kuza kuba likhaka elikhulu+ nodonga olukhuselayo.

 5 Awuzukoyika nantoni na eyoyikekayo ebusuku,+

Nalutolo ludutyulwayo emini,+

 6 Nasifo singubhubhani esincathame ebumnyameni,

Nasifo sigqugqisayo emini emaqanda.

 7 Kuza kuwa iwaka ecaleni kwakho

Neshumi lamawaka ngasekunene kwakho;

Kodwa akuzukwenzeka nto kuwe.+

 8 Wena uza kubukela nje ngamehlo,

Uzibonele ngokwakho ukohlwaywa* kwabenzi-bubi.

 9 Ekubeni uthe: “UYehova yindawo yam yokubalekela,”

Uye wamenza indawo yakho yokuhlala* Oyena Uphakamileyo;+

10 Akukho ntlekele iza kukwehlela,+

Akukho nasibetho siza kusondela ententeni yakho.

11 Kaloku uza kuziyalela iingelosi zakhe+

Ukuba zikugade kuzo zonke iindlela zakho.+

12 Ziza kukuthwala ngezandla,+

Ukuze unyawo lwakho lungabetheki elityeni.+

13 Uza kuhamba phezu kwengonyama nephimpi;

Uza kunyathela ingonyama nenyoka enkulu.+

14 UThixo uthe: “Ngenxa yokuba endithanda,* ndiza kumsindisa.+

Ndiza kumkhusela ngenxa yokuba elazi* igama lam.+

15 Uza kundibiza, ndimphendule.+

Ndiza kumxhasa xa esentlungwini.+

Ndiza kumsindisa ndize ndimzukise.

16 Ndiza kumanelisa ngobomi obude,+

Ndimenze ayibone indlela endisindisa ngayo.”+

Ingoma emnandi. Ingoma yemini yeSabatha.

92 Kulungile ukubulela kuYehova+

Nokulidumisa ngengoma* igama lakho, wena ungOyena Uphakamileyo;

 2 Ukuthetha ngothando lwakho olungagungqiyo kusasa+

Nangokuthembeka kwakho ebusuku,

 3 Ngesixhobo esineentambo ezilishumi nangesigingci,

Ngomculo omnandi wohadi.+

 4 Kuba undenze ndonwaba, Yehova, ngenxa yezinto ozenzileyo;

Ndikhwaza ngovuyo ngenxa yomsebenzi wezandla zakho.

 5 Mikhulu ngeyona ndlela imisebenzi yakho Yehova!+

Izinto ozicingayo zinzulu kakhulu!+

 6 Umntu ongasebenzisi ngqondo akanakuzazi,

Nesidenge asinakuyiqonda into yokuba:+

 7 Xa abenzi-bubi behluma okokhula*

Nabantu abenza izinto ezingalunganga betyatyamba,

Loo nto yenzeka ukuze batshatyalaliswe ngonaphakade.+

 8 Kodwa wena uphakanyiswa ngonaphakade Yehova.

 9 Jonga indlela oza kuzoyisa ngayo iintshaba zakho Yehova,

Jonga indlela eziza kutshabalala ngayo;

Bonke abo benza izinto ezimbi baza kuthiwa saa.+

10 Kodwa uza kundenza ndibe namandla* okwenkunzi yenkomo yasendle;

Ndiza kuzithambisa ngeoli entsha.+

11 Amehlo am aza kujonga iintshaba zam ezoyisiweyo;+

Iindlebe zam ziza kuva ngokuwa kwezikhohlakali ezindihlaselayo.

12 Kodwa amalungisa aza kutyatyamba njengomthi wesundu,

Akhule njengomsedare waseLebhanon.+

13 Atyalwe endlini kaYehova;

Atyatyamba eyadini kaThixo wethu.+

14 Aza kuqhubeka echuma naxa sele aluphele,*+

Aza kuhlala esemandleni* yaye edlamkile,+

15 Exela ukuba uYehova ulungile.

UliLiwa lam,+ ibe akukho nto ingalunganga kuye.

93 UYehova nguKumkani!+

Wambethe ubukhulu;

UYehova wambethe amandla;

Uwabhinqe njengebhanti.

Uwumise wazinza umhlaba;

Awunakushukunyiswa.*

 2 Itrone yakho yazinziswa kwakudala;+

Ubusoloko ukho ukususela ngonaphakade.+

 3 Imilambo iyalwa Yehova,

Imilambo iyalwa yaye iyagquma;

Imilambo ilwa ngamandla yaye iyadlokova.

 4 UYehova mkhulu kwiindawo eziphakamileyo,

Ngaphezu kwesandi samanzi amaninzi,+

Unamandla ngaphezu kwamaza alephuzayo olwandle.+

 5 Izikhumbuzo zakho zinokuthenjwa.+

Owu Yehova, indlu yakho ihlala+ ihonjiswe ngobungcwele.*

94 Owu Thixo wempindezelo Yehova,+

Owu Thixo wempindezelo, khazimla!

 2 Phakama, Mgwebi womhlaba.+

Benze into ebafaneleyo abo banekratshi.+

 3 Kuza kude kube nini na Yehova,

Kuza kude kube nini na bevuya abenzi-bubi?+

 4 Behleli nje bayaloqa, bathetha benekratshi;

Baqhayisa ngeziqu zabo bonke abenzi-bubi.

 5 Batyumza abantu bakho Yehova,+

Bacinezela nelifa lakho.

 6 Babulala umhlolokazi nomntu wasemzini,

Bagwinta nabantwana abangenatata.

 7 Bathi: “UYa akaboni;+

UThixo kaYakobi akayijonganga yonke le nto.”+

 8 Yazini le nto ke nina bangaqiqiyo;

Zidengendini, niza kuyisebenzisa nini ingqondo?+

 9 Angangeva na Lowo udale* indlebe?

Angangaboni na Lowo udale ilihlo?+

10 Angangakwazi ukululeka na Lowo uqeqesha iintlanga?+

Kaloku nguye ofundisa abantu!+

11 UYehova uyazazi izinto ezicingwa ngabantu,

Uyazi ukuba zingumphunga nje.+

12 Yonwabile indoda oyilungisayo Ya,+

Leyo uyifundisa umthetho wakho,+

13 Ukuze uyinike ukuzola ngeemini zentlekele,

De ambelwe umngxuma umenzi-bubi.+

14 Kuba uYehova akazukubalahla abantu bakhe,+

Engazukulilahla nelifa lakhe.+

15 Kuba kuza kubuyelwa kwizigwebo zobulungisa,

Bonke abaneentliziyo ezilungileyo baza kuzithobela.

16 Ngubani oza kundilwela kubenzi-bubi?

Ngubani oza kundimela kwabo bangalunganga?

17 Ukuba bendingancedwa nguYehova,

Ngendatshabalala kudala.+

18 Xa ndathi: “Unyawo lwam luyatyibilika,”

Owu Yehova, ndaqhubeka ndixhaswa luthando lwakho olungagungqiyo.+

19 Xa amaxhala ayengaphezu kwamandla am,

Wena wandithuthuzela waza wandenza ndazola.+

20 Ungaze ube nento yokwenza na wena netrone* yamaqhinga

Yakuba ibangela inkathazo egameni lomthetho?*+

21 Balihlasela kabukhali ilungisa+

Baze bamgwebele ukufa umntu omsulwa.*+

22 Kodwa uYehova uza kuba yindawo yam ekhuselekileyo yokubalekela,*

UThixo wam liliwa lam lokubalekela.+

23 Uza kwenza zibuyele kubo izinto ezimbi abazenzileyo.+

Uza kubacima igama* kwangobubi babo.

UYehova uThixo wethu uza kubagqiba baphele tu.*+

95 Yizani simkhwaze sivuya uYehova!

Masilikhwaze iLiwa lethu losindiso kuba soyisile.+

 2 Masize phambi kwakhe* sinombulelo;+

Masimculele sikhwaza kuba soyisile.

 3 Kuba uYehova nguThixo omkhulu,

NoKumkani omkhulu kunabo bonke abanye oothixo.+

 4 Zisesandleni sakhe iingontsi zomhlaba;

Zezakhe iincochoyi zeentaba.+

 5 Ulwandle lolwakhe kuba lwadalwa nguye,+

Nomhlaba owomileyo wenziwa zizandla zakhe.+

 6 Yizani, masikhonze size siqubude;

Masiguqe phambi koMenzi wethu uYehova.+

 7 Kuba yena nguThixo wethu,

Thina singabantu bedlelo lakhe,

Izimvu* ezihoywa nguye.*+

Ukuba niyalimamela ilizwi lakhe namhlanje,+

 8 Sanukuyenza lukhuni intliziyo yenu njengaseMeribha,*+

Njengemini yaseMasa* entlango,+

 9 Xa ookhokho benu bandilingayo,+

Bendivavanya nangona babezibonile izinto endazenzayo.+

10 Ndandisonyanya iminyaka eyi-40 eso sizukulwana, ndaza ndathi:

“Basisizwana esineentliziyo eziphumileyo endleleni,

Abakhange bazazi iindlela zam.”

11 Ngoko ndafunga ngomsindo ndathi:

“Abazukungena ekuphumleni kwam.”+

96 Mculeleni ingoma entsha uYehova.+

Mculeleni uYehova, nonke nina basemhlabeni!+

 2 Mculeleni uYehova; dumisani igama lakhe.

Vakalisani iindaba ezilungileyo zosindiso lwakhe usuku nosuku.+

 3 Thethani ngozuko lwakhe phakathi kweentlanga,

Nangemisebenzi yakhe emangalisayo phakathi kwezizwana zonke.+

 4 UYehova mkhulu yaye ngoyena ofanelwe kukudunyiswa.

Woyikeka ngaphezu kwabo bonke abanye oothixo.

 5 Bonke oothixo bezizwana abanaxabiso,+

Kodwa yena uYehova wenze amazulu.+

 6 Apho akhoyo kukho ubukhulu* nozuko;+

Kukho amandla nobuhle kwindawo yakhe engcwele.+

 7 Mzukiseni uYehova, nina zintsapho zezizwana,

Mzukiseni uYehova ngenxa yozuko namandla akhe.+

 8 Mnikeni uYehova uzuko olufanele igama lakhe;+

Zisani isipho nize ningene kwiiyadi zakhe.

 9 Qubudani kuYehova* ninxibe iimpahla zenu ezingcwele;*

Umhlaba wonke mawungcangcazele phambi kwakhe!

10 Chazelani iintlanga nithi: “UYehova nguKumkani!+

Umhlaba uzinzisiwe, awunakugungqiswa.*

Uza kuzigweba* ngobulungisa izizwana.”+

11 Mawavuye amazulu, mawuvuye nomhlaba;

Malugqume ulwandle nazo zonke izinto ezikulo;+

12 Mawavuye amadlelo nazo zonke izinto ezikuwo.+

Kwangaxeshanye mayikhwaze ivuya yonke imithi yehlathi+

13 Phambi koYehova, kuba uyeza,*

Ukuze agwebe umhlaba.

Uza kuwugweba ngobulungisa umhlaba,+

Nezizwana ngokuthembeka kwakhe.+

97 UYehova ube nguKumkani!+

Mawuvuye umhlaba.+

Mazivuye neziqithi.+

 2 Ujikelezwe ngamafu nobumnyama;+

Isiseko setrone yakhe bubulungisa nokusesikweni.*+

 3 Kudangazela umlilo phambi kwakhe,+

Ibe uziqwenga macala onke iintshaba zakhe.+

 4 Imibane yakhe ikhanyisa umhlaba;

Umhlaba uyayibona uze ungcangcazele.+

 5 Iintaba zinyibilika oku kwamafutha phambi koYehova,+

Phambi kweNkosi yomhlaba wonke.

 6 Amazulu achaza ubulungisa bakhe,

Zonke izizwana ziyalubona uzuko lwakhe.+

 7 Mabahlaziswe bonke abo bakhonza umfanekiso oqingqiweyo,+

Abo baqhayisa ngoothixo babo abangento yanto.+

Qubudani kuye* nonke nina bothixo.+

 8 IZiyon iyeva ibe iyavuya,+

Iidolophu* zakwaYuda zonwabile

Ngenxa yezigwebo zakho Yehova.+

 9 Kuba wena Yehova, ungOyena Uphakamileyo phezu komhlaba wonke;

Uphakame ngaphezulu lee kwabanye oothixo.+

10 Zicaphukeleni izinto ezimbi, nina bathanda uYehova.+

Uyabukhusela ubomi babathembekileyo kuye;+

Uyabasindisa esandleni sabenzi-bubi.*+

11 Ukukhanya kuthe thaa kwabo bangamalungisa+

Novuyo kwabo baneentliziyo ezilungileyo.

12 Vuyiswani nguYehova, nina malungisa,

Nibulele igama lakhe elingcwele.*

Ingoma emnandi.

98 Mculeleni ingoma entsha uYehova,+

Kuba wenze izinto ezimangalisayo.+

Isandla sakhe sasekunene, ingalo yakhe engcwele isisindisile.*+

 2 UYehova uyenze yaziwa indlela asindisa ngayo;+

Ubutyhilile ubulungisa bakhe ezintlangeni.+

 3 Ulukhumbule uthando lwakhe olungagungqiyo nokuthembeka kwakhe kwindlu kaSirayeli.+

Ezona ndawo zikude zomhlaba ziyibonile indlela asindisa* ngayo uThixo wethu.+

 4 Umhlaba wonke mawukhwaze kuYehova kuba woyisile.

Chwayitani, nikhwaze nivuya nize nimdumise ngengoma.*+

 5 Mdumiseni* uYehova ngohadi,

Ngohadi nangengoma emnandi.

 6 Khwazani phambi koKumkani uYehova kuba noyisile,+

Nivuthele amaxilongo nophondo.

 7 Malugqume ulwandle nazo zonke izinto ezikulo,

Umhlaba nabo bahlala kuwo.

 8 Imilambo mayiqhwabe izandla,

Neentaba zikhwaze zonke zivuya+

 9 Phambi koYehova, kuba uyeza* ukuze agwebe umhlaba.

Uza kuwugweba ngobulungisa umhlaba,+

Azigwebe ngokomthetho nezizwana.+

99 UYehova nguKumkani.+ Mazingcangcazele izizwana.

Uhleli etroneni yakhe entla* kweekherubhi.+ Mawugungqe umhlaba.

 2 UYehova mkhulu eZiyon,

Yaye unegunya phezu kwazo zonke izizwana.+

 3 Mazidumise igama lakho elikhulu,+

Kuba liyoyikeka yaye lingcwele.

 4 Ungukumkani onamandla nobuthandayo ubulungisa.+

Wena ubuzinzisile ubulungisa.

Ubangele kwabakho okusesikweni* nobulungisa+ kwaYakobi.

 5 Mphakamiseni uYehova uThixo wethu+ nize niqubude* esitulweni seenyawo zakhe;+

Kaloku ungcwele.+

 6 UMoses noAron babephakathi kwababingeleli bakhe,+

NoSamuweli wayephakathi kwabo babiza egameni lakhe.+

Babebiza kuYehova,

Ibe wayebaphendula.+

 7 Wayethetha nabo ekumqulu welifu.+

Bazigcina izikhumbuzo zakhe nemiyalelo awabanika yona.+

 8 Owu Yehova Thixo wethu, wena wabaphendula.+

Waba nguThixo ozixolelayo izono zabo,+

Kodwa wabohlwaya* ngezinto ezimbi abazenzayo.+

 9 Mphakamiseni uYehova uThixo wethu+

Nize niqubude kuye* entabeni yakhe engcwele,+

Kuba uYehova uThixo wethu ungcwele.+

Ingoma emnandi yokubulela.

100 Umhlaba wonke mawudumise uYehova kuba woyisile.+

 2 Mkhonzeni nivuya uYehova.+

Yizani phambi kwakhe nikhwaza nivuya.

 3 Yazini* ukuba uYehova nguThixo.+

Nguye owasidalayo, yaye singabakhe.*+

Thina singabantu bakhe neegusha zedlelo lakhe.+

 4 Ngenani kwiigeyithini zakhe nibulela,+

Ningene nidumisa kwiiyadi zakhe.+

Mbuleleni, nidumise igama lakhe.+

 5 Kuba uYehova ulungile;+

Uthando lwakhe olungagungqiyo lukho ngonaphakade,

Nokuthembeka kwakhe kuzo zonke izizukulwana.+

EkaDavide. Ingoma emnandi.

101 Ndiza kucula ngothando olungagungqiyo nobulungisa.

Ndiza kukudumisa ngengoma* Yehova.

 2 Ndiza kwenza ngobulumko nangokungenasiphoso.

Uza kuza nini kum?

Nasendlini yam, ndiza kuhamba ngentliziyo engenasiphoso.+

 3 Andizukubeka nantoni na engento yanto phambi kwamehlo am.

Ndiyazenyanya izinto ezenziwa ngabantu abayishiyayo indlela elungileyo;+

Akukho nto indidibanisa nabo.*

 4 Intliziyo egqwethekileyo ikude lee kum;

Andizukuyamkela* into embi.

 5 Nabani na ohleba ummelwane wakhe engcolisa igama lakhe+

Ndiza kumvala umlomo.*

Nabani na onamehlo anekratshi nophakamileyo entliziyweni,

Andizukumnyamezela.

 6 Ndiza kubakhetha abathembekileyo emhlabeni,

Ukuze bahlale nam.

Ngumntu ongenasiphoso oza kundisebenzela.

 7 Akuzukubakho mntu uqhathayo endlini yam,

Kungazukubakho xoki liza kuma phambi kwam.*

 8 Ndiza kubavala umlomo* ntsasa nganye bonke abenzi-bubi abasemhlabeni,

Ukuze ndibatshayele bonke abenza izinto ezimbi kwisixeko sikaYehova.+

Umthandazo womntu osentlungwini xa ekhathazekile* aze axelele uYehova onke amaxhala akhe.+

102 Owu Yehova, wuve umthandazo wam;+

Makufike kuwe ukukhalela kwam uncedo.+

 2 Sukubufihla ubuso bakho kum xa ndisengxakini.+

Ndithobele indlebe yakho;*

Khawuleza undiphendule xa ndikubiza.+

 3 Kuba imihla yam ithi shwaka okomsi,

Namathambo am avutha okweziko lomlilo.+

 4 Intliziyo yam ibethwe yabuna okwengca,+

Kuba ndiphelelwe nangumdla wokutya.

 5 Ngenxa yokugcuma kwam,+

Amathambo am athe nca enyameni yam.+

 6 Ndifana nengcwangube yasentlango;

Ndinjengesikhova esincinci esiphakathi kwamabhodlo.

 7 Ndiyaphuthelwa;*

Ndifana nentaka eyodwa eluphahleni.+

 8 Iintshaba zam zindinxwala imini yonke.+

Abo bahlekisa ngam* basebenzisa igama lam xa bethukisa.

 9 Kuba isonka sam luthuthu,+

Nezinto endiziselayo zixutywe neenyembezi,+

10 Ngenxa yomsindo wakho nokucaphuka kwakho,

Kuba undiphakamisile, kanti uza kuphinda undilahle.

11 Imihla yam injengesithunzi esithi shwaka,*+

Ibe ndibuna okwengca.+

12 Kodwa wena Yehova, uza kuhlala ukho ngonaphakade,+

Ibe uza kuduma* kuzo zonke izizukulwana.+

13 Ngokuqinisekileyo uza kuphakama uyenzele inceba iZiyon,+

Kuba lixesha lokuba uyenzele ububele;+

Lifikile ixesha elibekiweyo.+

14 Kuba abakhonzi bakho bayawathanda amatye ayo,+

Bavuyiswa nkqu naluthuli olu lwayo.+

15 Iintlanga ziza kuloyika igama likaYehova,

Nabo bonke ookumkani bomhlaba boyike uzuko lwakho.+

16 Kuba uYehova uza kuyivusa iZiyon;+

Uza kubonakala ekuzuko lwakhe.+

17 Uza kuyimamela imithandazo yabo bangenanto;+

Akazukuwujongela phantsi umthandazo wabo.+

18 Oku kubhalelwe isizukulwana esizayo,+

Ukuze isizwana esiseza kuzalwa* simdumise uYa.

19 Kuba ujonge ezantsi esendaweni yakhe ephakamileyo engcwele,+

UYehova ujonge emhlabeni esemazulwini,

20 Ukuze akuve ukuncwina kwebanjwa,+

Abakhulule abo bagwetyelwe ukufa,+

21 Ukuze igama likaYehova livakaliswe eZiyon+

Aze adunyiswe eYerusalem,

22 Xa izizwana neentlanga*

Zidibana ukuze zikhonze uYehova.+

23 Wakhawuleza wandithez’ amandla;

Wayinqamla imihla yam.

24 Ndathi: “Owu Thixo wam,

Sukundicim’ igama ndisemtsha,

Wena ophila kuzo zonke izizukulwana.+

25 Wazibeka kwakudala iziseko zomhlaba,

Namazulu angumsebenzi wezandla zakho.+

26 Zonke ezo zinto ziza kutshabalala, kodwa wena uza kuhlala ukho;

Zonke ziza kuguga okwempahla.

Uza kuzitshintsha okwempahla, ibe ziza kuphela zithi tu.

27 Kodwa wena awuzukutshintsha, neminyaka yakho ayizukuphela.+

28 Abantwana babakhonzi bakho baza kuhlala bekhuselekile,

Nenzala yabo izinziswe phambi kwakho.”+

EkaDavide.

103 Mandimdumise* uYehova;

Mandilidumise ngentliziyo yam yonke igama lakhe elingcwele.

 2 Mandimdumise* uYehova;

Kwanga ndingangaze ndizilibale zonke izinto azenzileyo.+

 3 Yena uxolela zonke iziphoso zakho+

Ibe uphelisa zonke iintlungu onazo;+

 4 Usindisa ubomi bakho emngxunyeni*+

Aze akuthi jize ngothando lwakhe olungagungqiyo nenceba.+

 5 Ukwanelisa ngezinto ezintle+ ubomi bakho bonke,

Ukuze uhlale umtsha, ungumqaba-qaba okokhozi.+

 6 UYehova ubaphatha ngobulungisa+ nangokusesikweni*

Bonke abo bacinezelwayo.+

 7 Wamazisa uMoses iindlela zakhe,+

Wabazisa noonyana bakaSirayeli ngezenzo zakhe.+

 8 UYehova unenceba ibe uyabavela abantu,*+

Ucaphuka kade ibe uphuphuma luthando olungagungqiyo.+

 9 Akazukusoloko ejonga iimpazamo,+

Engazukuhlala ecaphukile ngonaphakade.+

10 Akenzanga kuthi ngokwezono zethu,+

Engasohlwayanga nangokweziphoso zethu.+

11 Kuba uthando lwakhe olungagungqiyo luyaphuphuma kwabo bamoyikayo,

Lukhulu njengokuphakama kwamazulu kunomhlaba.+

12 Uzibhekelisele kude nathi izono zethu,

Njengokuba kude kwempumalanga entshonalanga.+

13 UYehova ubenzele inceba abo bamoyikayo,

Njengoko utata ebenzela inceba oonyana bakhe.+

14 Kuba yena uyakwazi ukubunjwa kwethu,+

Ekhumbula ukuba siluthuli.+

15 Yena ke umntu, imihla yakhe injengeyengca;+

Uyachuma njengentyatyambo yasendle.+

16 Kodwa xa kuvuthuza umoya, iyabuna,

Ithi shwaka ngathi khange ibekho.*

17 Kodwa uthando olungagungqiyo lukaYehova luhlala ngonaphakade*

Kwabo bamoyikayo,+

Nobulungisa bakhe kubantwana babantwana babo,+

18 Kwabo bagcina isivumelwano sakhe+

Nakwabo bayithobela ngokupheleleyo imiyalelo yakhe.

19 UYehova uyizinzisile itrone yakhe emazulwini;+

Nobukumkani bakhe bulawula phezu kwayo yonke into.+

20 Mdumiseni uYehova, nina zingelosi zakhe+ zinamandla,

Ezimthobelayo+ zize zenze ngokwelizwi lakhe.*

21 Mdumiseni uYehova, nonke nina mikhosi yakhe,+

Nina nenza ukuthanda kwakhe.+

22 Mdumiseni uYehova, nonke nina zidalwa zakhe,

Kuzo zonke iindawo alawula kuzo.*

Mandimdumise uYehova ngentliziyo yam yonke.*

104 Mandimdumise* uYehova.+

Owu Yehova Thixo wam, umkhulu kakhulu.+

Wambethe uzuko* nobungangamsha.+

 2 Uzisongele ngokukhanya+ ngokungathi sisambatho;

Wolula amazulu okwelaphu lentente.+

 3 Ubeka iipali kumagumbi akhe aphezulu emanzini asesibhakabhakeni,*+

Esenza amafu abe yinqwelo yakhe,+

Ehamba ngamaphiko omoya.+

 4 Iingelosi zakhe uzenza zibe ngumoya,

Abasebenzi bakhe babe ngumlilo oqwengayo.+

 5 Uwuzinzisile umhlaba phezu kweziseko zawo;+

Awuzukususwa endaweni yawo* ngonaphakade kanaphakade.+

 6 Wawuthi wambu ngamanzi anzulu ngokungathi sisambatho.+

Amanzi ema phezu kweentaba.

 7 Wathi usakuwakhalimela, abaleka;+

Athi akuva isandi sendudumo yakho, abaleka esoyika,

 8 Iintaba zenyuka,+ neentlambo zehla,

Zaya kwindawo owawuzibekele yona.

 9 Wawamisela umda ukuze angadluli kuwo,+

Ukuze angaphindi ogqume umhlaba.

10 Uthumela imithombo ezintlanjeni;

Iqhubeka ihamba phakathi kweentaba.

11 Iseza onke amarhamncwa asendle;

Iidonki zasendle ziqabula unxano lwazo kuyo.

12 Entla kwayo kuhlala iintaka zezulu;

Zintyiloza phakathi kwamahlamvu ashinyeneyo.

13 Unkcenkceshela iintaba esemagumbini akhe aphezulu.+

Umhlaba waneliswa sisiqhamo semisebenzi yakho.+

14 Uhlumisa ingca esenzela iinkomo,

Notyani ukuze lusetyenziswe ngabantu,+

Kuphume ukutya emhlabeni,

15 Iwayini evuyisa intliziyo yomntu,+

Ioli ekhazimlisa ubuso,

Nesonka esixhasa intliziyo yomntu.+

16 Imithi kaYehova yanelisekile,

Imisedare yaseLebhanon ayityalileyo,

17 Apho iintaka zizenzela khona iindlwane.

Indlu yengwamza+ isemithini yejunipha.

18 Iintaba eziphakamileyo zezeebhokhwe zasezintabeni;+

Amawa yindawo ezibalekela kuyo iimbila.+

19 Inyanga uyenzele ukubala amaxesha;

Ilanga lizazi kakuhle ukuba litshona nini.+

20 Uzisa ubumnyama, kuze kube sebusuku,+

Xa zonke izilwanyana zasendle zihambahamba ehlathini.

21 Iingonyama zigqumela ixhoba+

Zifuna ukutya kwazo kuThixo.+

22 Lithi lakuphuma ilanga,

Ziye kubuthuma kwiindawo zazo.

23 Umntu uyaphuma aye emsebenzini wakhe,

Aze abile esoma de kuhlwe.

24 Mininzi ngeyona ndlela imisebenzi yakho, Yehova!+

Yonke uyenze ngobulumko.+

Umhlaba ugcwele zizinto ozidalileyo.

25 Udale ulwandle, olukhulu nolubanzi,

Lunyakazela izinto eziphilayo, ezincinci nezinkulu.+

26 Zihamba apho iinqanawa,

Kunye neLeviyatan,* owayidalela ukuba idlale kulo.+

27 Zonke zilindela kuwe

Ukuba uzinike ukutya kwazo ngexesha elifanelekileyo.+

28 Ziqokelela loo nto uzinika yona.+

Xa uvula isandla sakho, zifumana intabalala yezinto ezintle.+

29 Ziyaphazamiseka xa ubufihla ubuso bakho.

Ziyafa xa ususa umoya wazo, zibuyele eluthulini.+

30 Ziyadalwa xa uthumela umoya wakho,+

Ibe wena uyawuhlaziya nomhlaba.

31 Uzuko lukaYehova luza kubakho ngonaphakade.

UYehova uza kuvuyiswa yimisebenzi yakhe.+

32 Uthi xa ejonga umhlaba, usuke ungcangcazele;

Uchukumisa iintaba ziqhume.+

33 Ndiza kumculela uYehova+ ubomi bam bonke;

Ndiza kuhlala ndimdumisa ngengoma* uThixo wam ndisaphila nje.+

34 Ndifuna iingcinga zam zimvuyise.*

Ndiza kuvuyiswa nguYehova.

35 Abenzi-bubi baza kuthi shwaka emhlabeni,

Nabangalunganga abazukuphinda babekho.+

Mandimdumise* uYehova. Dumisani uYa!

105 Bulelani kuYehova,+ bizani egameni lakhe,

Xelelani izizwana ngezinto azenzileyo!+

 2 Mculeleni, mdumiseni ngengoma,*

Cingisisani* ngayo yonke imisebenzi yakhe emangalisayo.+

 3 Qhayisani ngegama lakhe elingcwele.+

Mazivuye iintliziyo zabo bafuna uYehova.+

 4 Funani uYehova+ namandla akhe.

Hlalani nibufuna ubuso* bakhe.

 5 Khumbulani izenzo zakhe ezimangalisayo,

Imimangaliso yakhe nokugweba kwakhe,+

 6 Nina nzala* ka-Abraham umkhonzi wakhe,+

Nina bonyana bakaYakobi, abakhethiweyo bakhe.+

 7 NguYehova, uThixo wethu.+

Ugweba umhlaba wonke.+

 8 Usikhumbula ngonaphakade isivumelwano sakhe,+

Isithembiso awasenza* kwizizukulwana eziliwaka,+

 9 Isivumelwano awasenza noAbraham,+

Nesifungo awasifungela uIsake,+

10 Eso wasimisela saba sisigwebo kuYakobi

Nesivumelwano esiza kuhlala sihleli kuSirayeli,

11 Esithi, “Ndiza kukunika ilizwe laseKanan+

Libe lilifa lakho.”+

12 Ngelo xesha babembalwa,+

Bembalwa kakhulu, bengabantu basemzini kwelo lizwe.+

13 Babehamba-hamba kwiintlanga ngeentlanga,

Besuka kobunye ubukumkani baye kwesinye isizwana.+

14 Zange avumele namnye umntu abacinezele,+

Kodwa wakhalimela ookumkani ngenxa yabo,+

15 Esithi, “Ningabachukumisi abantu bam endibakhethileyo,

Ningenzi izinto ezimbi nakubaprofeti bam.”+

16 Walibetha ngendlala ilizwe;+

Waphelisa isonka ababesifumana.*

17 Wathumela indoda phambi kwabo

Eyathengiselwa ebukhobokeni, uYosefu.+

18 Bazibopha* ngamakhamandela iinyawo zakhe,+

Nentamo yakhe bayifaka kwiintsimbi*

19 De zenzeka izinto awayethethe ngazo,+

Zamsulungekisa izinto ezathethwa nguYehova.

20 Ukumkani wathi mabamkhulule,+

Wakhululwa ngumlawuli wezizwana.

21 Wamenza umphathi endlini yakhe,

Nomlawuli wazo zonke izinto anazo,+

22 Ukuze aphathe* iinkosana zakhe ngendlela abona ngayo

Nokuze afundise abadala bakhe ubulumko.+

23 USirayeli weza eYiputa,+

NoYakobi wahlala njengomntu wasemzini kwilizwe lakwaHam.

24 UThixo wabenza banda kakhulu abantu bakhe;+

Wabenza banamandla ngaphezu kweentshaba zabo,+

25 Ezo waziyekayo zatshintsha iintliziyo zazo zaza zabacaphukela abantu bakhe,

Zabenzela amayelenqe abakhonzi bakhe.+

26 Wathumela uMoses umkhonzi wakhe,+

NoAron+ awayemnyulile.

27 Benza imiqondiso yakhe phakathi kwazo,

Imimangaliso yakhe kwilizwe lakwaHam.+

28 Wathumela ubumnyama, kwaba mnyama elizweni;+

Abazange bawavukele amazwi akhe.

29 Wawajika amanzi azo aba ligazi,

Wazibulala iintlanzi zazo.+

30 Ilizwe lazo lanyakazela amasele,+

Nkqu nakumagumbi asebukhosini.

31 Wathumela izibawu ukuba zizihlasele

Neembuzane kuyo yonke imimandla yazo.+

32 Wayijika imvula yazo yaba sisichotho,

Walithwaxa ngemibane* ilizwe lazo.+

33 Wayivuthulula imithi yazo yeediliya neyamafiya,

Wayibhuqa imithi yommandla wazo.

34 Wathi mazihlaselwe ziinkumbi,

Inyambalala yomqikela.+

35 Zabudla bonke utyani elizweni,

Zayidla nemveliso yomhlaba.

36 Emva koko waxabela onke amazibulo kwilizwe lazo,+

Isiqalo senzala yazo.

37 Wabakhupha abantu bakhe bephethe isilivere negolide;+

Ibe akukho namnye kwizizwe zakhe owakhubekayo.

38 AmaYiputa avuya xa bemkayo,

Kuba ayewoyika amaSirayeli.*+

39 Wavelisa ilifu ukuze liwakhusele+

Nomlilo ukuze uwakhanyisele ebusuku.+

40 Acela, waza wawazisela izagwityi;+

Waqhubeka ewondla ngesonka esivela ezulwini.+

41 Wavula iliwa, kwampompoza amanzi;+

Ehla ecanda entlango njengomlambo.+

42 Kuba wakhumbula isithembiso esingcwele awasenza kuAbraham umkhonzi wakhe.+

43 Ngoko wabakhupha abantu bakhe bevuya,+

Abakhethiweyo bakhe bekhwaza bevuya.

44 Wabanika amazwe eentlanga;+

Baxhamla imveliso yomsebenzi onzima wezinye izizwe,+

45 Ukuze bagcine imimiselo yakhe,+

Bathobele nemithetho yakhe.

Dumisani uYa!*

106 Dumisani uYa!

Bulelani kuYehova, kuba ulungile;+

Uthando lwakhe olungagungqiyo lukho ngonaphakade.+

 2 Ngubani onokukwazi ukuzichaza ngokupheleleyo izinto ezinkulu ezenziwe nguYehova,

Okanye avakalise zonke izinto ezimangalisayo azenzileyo?+

 3 Bonwabile abo benza ngobulungisa,*

Abasoloko besenza izinto ezilungileyo.+

 4 Ndikhumbule Yehova xa ubenzela ububele abantu bakho.+

Ndicela undihoye ngokundisindisa,

 5 Ukuze ndonwabele izinto ezintle ozenzela abantu bakho obakhethileyo,+

Ndivuye nohlanga lwakho,

Ukuze ndikudumise* nelifa lakho.

 6 Sonile kanye njengookhokho bethu;+

Senze izinto ezimbi; senze izinto ezingcolileyo.+

 7 Ookhokho bethu eYiputa abazange baziqonde* izinto ezimangalisayo owazenzayo.

Bayilibala indlela oluphuphuma ngayo uthando lwakho olungagungqiyo,

Kodwa bakuvukela kuLwandle Olubomvu.+

 8 Kodwa wabasindisa ngenxa yegama lakhe,+

Ukuze aziwe amandla akhe.+

 9 Walukhalimela loma uLwandle Olubomvu;

Wabakhokela ebaweza phakathi kwamanzi anzulu ngathi kusentlango;+

10 Wabasindisa esandleni seentshaba zabo,+

Wabasindisa esandleni sotshaba.+

11 Iintshaba zabo zaginywa ngamanzi,

Akwasinda* nokuba abe mnye kuzo.+

12 Batsho bazikholelwa izithembiso zakhe;+

Bamdumisa ngengoma.+

13 Kodwa akuzange kube kudala, bazilibala izinto azenzileyo;+

Abazange balindele ukukhokelwa nguye.

14 Bavumela iminqweno yabo ibalawule entlango;+

Bamlinga uThixo kuloo nkangala.+

15 Wabanika into abayifunayo,

Kodwa wababetha nangesifo esabatya bephila.*+

16 Bammonela uMoses enkampini,

Bamonela noAron,+ umntu ongcwele kaYehova.+

17 Umhlaba wavuleka waza waginya uDatan,

Wogquma nabo babekunye noAbhiram.+

18 Kwavutha umlilo kwelo qela;

Baqwengwa lidangatye abo bantu babi.+

19 Benza ithole eHorebhe

Baza baqubuda kuloo mfanekiso wesinyithi;+

20 Bakhetha ukuzukisa umfanekiso wenkunzi yenkomo, into etya ingca+

Kunokuzukisa mna.

21 Bamlibala uThixo,+ uMsindisi wabo,

Owabenzela izinto ezinkulu eYiputa,+

22 Izinto ezimangalisayo kwilizwe lakwaHam,+

Izinto ezoyikekayo kuLwandle Olubomvu.+

23 Wayesele eza kuthi mabatshatyalaliswe,

Kodwa uMoses, onyuliweyo wakhe, wangenelela

Waza wawehlisa umsindo wakhe.+

24 Balenyanya ilizwe elithandekayo;+

Abazange babe nokholo kwisithembiso sakhe.+

25 Baqhubeka bembombozela ezintenteni zabo;+

Abazange balimamele ilizwi likaYehova.+

26 Ngoko waphakamisa isandla sakhe efunga ngabo

Esithi uza kubawisa entlango;+

27 Wayeza kuyiwisa phakathi kweentlanga inzala yabo,

Eza kubasasaza kuwo onke loo mazwe.+

28 Baqalisa ukukhonza uBhahali* wasePehore,+

Batya imibingelelo eyenzelwe abafileyo.*

29 Bamcaphukisa ngezinto ababezenza,+

Baza bafikelwa sisibetho.+

30 Kodwa wathi akungenelela uFinehasi,

Samiswa isibetho.+

31 Waza uThixo wamjonga njengelungisa

Kuzo zonke izizukulwana, ngonaphakade.+

32 Bamcaphukisa ngasemanzini aseMeribha,*

NoMoses wasengxakini ngenxa yabo.+

33 Bawenza krakra umoya wakhe,

Waza wathetha engacinganga ngemilebe yakhe.+

34 Abazange bazitshabalalise izizwana,+

Njengokuba uYehova wayebayalele.+

35 Kodwa bahlobana neentlanga,+

Bafunda* imikhwa yazo.+

36 Baqhubeka bekhonza izithixo zazo,+

Zaba ngumgibe kubo.+

37 Babebingelela oonyana babo

Neentombi zabo kwiidemon.+

38 Baqhubeka bephalaza igazi elimsulwa,+

Igazi loonyana babo neentombi zabo

Ababingelela ngazo kwizithixo zakwaKanan;+

Laza ilizwe langcoliswa luphalazo-gazi.

39 Bangcoliswa zizenzo zabo,

Bethengisa ngomzimba kwabanye oothixo.+

40 Bamcaphukisa uYehova abantu bakhe,

Waya elonyanya ilifa lakhe.

41 Wayebanikela esandleni seentlanga,+

Ukuze balawulwe ngabantu ababacaphukelayo.+

42 Zabacinezela ke iintshaba zabo,

Ibe babelawulwa zizo.*

43 Wabasindisa kaninzi-ninzi,+

Kodwa nalapho babevukela, bengathobeli,+

Ibe babethotywa ngenxa yesono sabo.+

44 Kodwa wayeyibona intlungu yabo+

Ebeva naxa bekhalela uncedo.+

45 Wayesikhumbula isivumelwano sakhe ukuze kulungelwe bona,

Aze abe nosizi,* ngenxa yokuphuphuma kothando lwakhe olungagungqiyo.+

46 Wayesenza ukuba basizelwe

Ngabo bonke ababebathimbile.+

47 Sisindise, Yehova Thixo wethu,+

Siqokelele ndawonye ezintlangeni+

Ukuze sibulele igama lakho elingcwele

Size sikudumise sivuya.*+

48 Makadunyiswe uYehova uThixo kaSirayeli,

Makadunyiswe ngonaphakade.+

Ibe wonke umntu makathi, “Amen!”*

Dumisani uYa!*

INCWADI YESIHLANU

(IiNdumiso 107-150)

107 Bulelani kuYehova, kuba ulungile;+

Uthando lwakhe olungagungqiyo lukho ngonaphakade.+

 2 Mabathethe loo mazwi abo basindiswe* nguYehova,

Abo abasindise esandleni sotshaba,*+

 3 Awabaqokelela ebathatha emazweni,+

Empumalanga nasentshonalanga,

Emntla nasemzantsi.+

 4 Babhadula entlango, enkqantosini,

Abafumana ndlela iya kwisixeko ababenokuhlala kuso.

 5 Babelambile yaye benxaniwe;

Babetyhafile* ngenxa yokudinwa.

 6 Babehlala bekhala kuYehova besentlungwini;+

Wabasindisa kwiingxaki zabo.+

 7 Wabahambisa kwindlela efanelekileyo,+

Ukuze bafike kwisixeko ababenokuhlala kuso.+

 8 Abantu mabambulele uYehova+ ngenxa yothando lwakhe olungagungqiyo

Nangenxa yemisebenzi emangalisayo ayenzela oonyana babantu.+

 9 Kuba ubanelisile abo banxaniweyo

Waza abo balambileyo wabahluthisa* ngezinto ezilungileyo.+

10 Abanye babefathula entsunguzini yobumnyama,

Bengamabanjwa entlungu yaye bebotshelelwe ngeentsimbi.

11 Kuba bawavukela amazwi kaThixo,

Bawadelela amacebiso Oyena Uphakamileyo.+

12 Ngoko wabayekela ebunzimeni ukuze zithobeke iintliziyo zabo;+

Bakhubeka, akwabakho mntu ubancedayo.

13 Bakhala kuYehova bemcela ukuba abancede kwiingxaki zabo;

Wabasindisa kwiingxaki zabo.

14 Wabakhupha kwintsunguzi yobumnyama,

Waqhawula namakhamandela abo.+

15 Abantu mabambulele uYehova ngenxa yothando lwakhe olungagungqiyo+

Nangenxa yemisebenzi emangalisayo ayenzela oonyana babantu.

16 Kuba uzaphule iingcango zekopolo,

Wayinqumla nemivalo yentsimbi.+

17 Baba zizidenge baza bangena engxakini+

Ngenxa yeziphoso zabo nezono zabo.+

18 Baphelelwa ngumdla wokutya* nantoni na;

Baya besondela emasangweni okufa.

19 Babekhala kuYehova bemcela ukuba abancede kwiingxaki zabo;

Wabasindisa kwiingxaki zabo.

20 Wayethumela ilizwi lakhe aze abaphilise,+

Abasindise emingxunyeni ababetshone kuyo.

21 Abantu mabambulele uYehova ngenxa yothando lwakhe olungagungqiyo

Nangenxa yemisebenzi emangalisayo ayenzela oonyana babantu.

22 Mabanikele imibingelelo yokubulela+

Baze babhengeze izinto azenzileyo bevuya.

23 Abo bahamba elwandle ngeenqanawa,

Beshishina embindini wolwandle,+

24 Bayibonile imisebenzi kaYehova

Nemisebenzi yakhe emangalisayo enzulwini yolwandle;+

25 Indlela ovuthuza ngayo umoya wakuva ilizwi lakhe,+

Unyusa amaza olwandle.

26 Bayenyuka baye esibhakabhakeni,

Behle baye emazantsi.

Kuphela isibindi* kubo ngenxa yentlekele ezayo.

27 Bayahexa, bagxadazele okomntu onxilileyo,

Abubancedi nganto nobo buchule babo.+

28 Emva koko bakhala kuYehova besentlungwini,+

Aze abasindise kwiingxaki zabo.

29 Uzolisa isaqhwithi somoya,

Aze amaza olwandle athi cwaka.+

30 Bayavuya xa ezola,

Aze uThixo abakhokelele kwizibuko abafuna ukuya kulo.

31 Abantu mabambulele uYehova ngenxa yothando lwakhe olungagungqiyo

Nangenxa yemisebenzi emangalisayo ayenzela oonyana babantu.+

32 Mabamzukise ebandleni labantu;+

Mabamdumise kwintlanganiso yabadala.*

33 Ujika imilambo ibe yintlango,

Imithombo yamanzi ibe ngumhlaba owomileyo,+

34 Nelizwe elineziqhamo libe lelomileyo,+

Ngenxa yezinto ezimbi ezenziwa ngabo bahlala kulo.

35 Ujika intlango ibe ngamachibi amanzi aneengcongolo,

Nelizwe elomileyo libe yimithombo yamanzi.+

36 Ubahlalisa apho abo balambileyo,+

Ukuze bakhe isixeko abaza kuhlala kuso.+

37 Batyala amasimi baze batyale imithi yeediliya+

Evelisa iziqhamo ezihle.+

38 Uyabasikelela baze babe baninzi;

Akazivumeli zibe mbalwa iinkomo zabo.+

39 Kodwa liphinda lehle inani labo baze bahlazeke

Ngenxa yokucinezelwa, nokwehlelwa ziintlekele neentlungu.

40 Uyazihlaza izikhulu,

Azibhadulise enyanyeni, apho kungekho ndlela.+

41 Kodwa uyawakhusela* amahlwempu entlungwini+

Aze azandise iintsapho zawo zibe ngangomhlambi.

42 Amalungisa ayayibona le nto aze avuye;+

Kodwa bonke abantu abangalunganga batya tyum.+

43 Nabani na osisilumko uza kuziqaphela ezi zinto+

Aze acingisise ngezinto ezenziwe nguYehova kuba enothando olungagungqiyo.+

Ingoma. Ingoma emnandi kaDavide.

108 Intliziyo yam ayigungqi, Thixo wam.

Ndiza kucula ndikudumise ngengoma ngentliziyo yam yonke.*+

 2 Vuka mrhubhe, nawe luhadi.+

Ndiza kuvusa kungekasi.*

 3 Ndiza kukudumisa phakathi kwezizwana, Yehova;

Ndiza kukudumisa ngengoma* phakathi kweentlanga.

 4 Kuba uthando lwakho olungagungqiyo luninzi, lufika emazulwini,+

Nokuthembeka kwakho kufika esibhakabhakeni.

 5 Owu Thixo, phakanyiswa ngaphezu kwamazulu;

Uzuko lwakho malube phezu komhlaba wonke.+

 6 Sisindise ngesandla sakho sasekunene uze undiphendule,

Ukuze basindiswe abantu bakho obathandayo.+

 7 UThixo uthethile ebungcweleni bakhe* wathi:

“Ndiza kuvuya, ndinikele ngeShekem+ ibe lilifa,

NeNtlambo YaseSukoti*+ ndiza kuyisikela abantu bam.

 8 UGiliyadi+ ngowam, noManase ngowam,

UEfrayim sisigcina-ntloko sam;*+

UYuda yintonga yam yenkumanda.+

 9 UMowabhi+ sisitya endihlambela kuso.

Ndiza kuyiphosa phezu koEdom+ imbadada yam.

Ndiza kukhwaza kuba ndiwoyisile amaFilisti.”+

10 Ngubani oza kundizisa kwisixeko esikhuselekileyo?

Ngubani oza kundikhokelela kwaEdom?+

11 Ayinguwe na Thixo osilahlileyo,

Nongasahambiyo nemikhosi yethu, Thixo wethu?+

12 Sincede kule nkathazo sikuyo,+

Kuba akuncedi nganto ukusindiswa ngabantu.+

13 UThixo uza kusinika amandla,+

Ibe uza kuzinyathela iintshaba zethu.+

Kumalathisi. EkaDavide. Ingoma emnandi.

109 Owu Thixo endimdumisayo,+ sukuhlala uthule.

 2 Kuba abo baqhathayo nabenzi-bubi bandivulela umlomo.

Bathetha ulwimi ngam;+

 3 Bandingqonge ngamazwi ahlabayo,

Ibe bandihlasela ndingabenzanga nto.+

 4 Ndithi ndibathanda, suke bona bangafuni nokundibona;+

Kodwa mna ndiqhubeka ndithandaza.

 5 Ndithi ndibenzela izinto ezintle, suke bona baphindise ngezimbi,+

Ndithi ndibathanda, bona bandicaphukele.+

 6 Makalawulwe ngumenzi-bubi,

Makume umchasi* ngakwisandla sakhe sasekunene.

 7 Makabekwe ityala* xa egwetywa;

Nomthandazo lowo wakhe mawube sisono.+

 8 Mayibe mbalwa imihla yakhe;+

Masithathwe ngomnye umntu isikhundla sakhe.+

 9 Abantwana* bakhe mabangabi natata,

Nomfazi wakhe abe ngumhlolokazi.

10 Abantwana* bakhe mababe ngabangqibi abangoosithubeni,

Bekhangelana nokutya kumakhaya abo abhodlokileyo.

11 Umbolekisi makathimbe* yonke into anayo,

Nabasemzini boxuthe zonke izinto zakhe.

12 Makungabikho mntu umenzela bubele,*

Kungabikho namnye obenzela inceba abantwana bakhe abangenatata.

13 Mayitshayelwe nya inzala yakhe,+

Licinywe negama labo kwisizukulwana sabo.

14 UYehova makasikhumbule isiphoso sookhokho bakhe,+

Nesono sikanina angasicimi.

15 UYehova makahlale ezikhumbula izinto abazenzileyo;

Futhi acime kwanto ebenza bakhunjulwe emhlabeni.+

16 Kuba wakulibala ukuba nobubele,*+

Kodwa waqhubeka eleqana nomntu ocinezelweyo,+ olihlwempu, nowaphukelwe yintliziyo

Efuna ukumbulala.+

17 Wayethanda ukuqalekisa, naye ke waqalekiswa;

Wayengafuni nokukubona ukusikelela, naye ke akasikelelwa.

18 Wanxityiswa iziqalekiso okwempahla.

Sagalelwa kuye okwamanzi,

Nasemathanjeni akhe okweoli.

19 Amashwa akhe mawabe njengempahla ayibhinqayo+

Nanjengebhanti ahlala elinxibile.

20 Umhlawulisa ngaloo ndlela ke uYehova lowo ulwa nam+

Nabo bathetha izinto ezingcolileyo ngam.*

21 Kodwa wena Yehova, Nkosi enguMongami,

Ndilwele ngenxa yegama lakho.+

Ndisindise kuba uthando lwakho olungagungqiyo lulungile.+

22 Kuba andikwazi kuzinceda ibe ndilihlwempu,+

Ndixhelekile entliziyweni.+

23 Ndiya ndiphela oku kwethunzi elinyamalalayo;

Ndivuthululwe oku kwentethe.

24 Amadolo am atyokololo ngenxa yokungatyi;

Umzimba wam ungamathambo, ibe ndiyaphela.*

25 Ndiyinto nje yokuhlekisa kubo.+

Xa bendibona banikina intloko.+

26 Owu yini Yehova Thixo wam, khawundincede;

Ndisindise ngothando lwakho olungagungqiyo.

27 Mabazi ukuba le nto yenziwe sisandla sakho;

Ukuba nguwe Yehova ondisindisileyo.

28 Mabathi beqalekisa, ube wena usikelela,

Xa bendihlasela, bahlazeke,

Kodwa yena umkhonzi wakho makavuye.

29 Mabanxityiswe ihlazo abo balwa nam,

Balithi wambu oku kwesambatho.*+

30 Umlomo wam uza kuhlala umdumisa uYehova,

Ndiza kumdumisa phambi kwabantu abaninzi.+

31 Kuba uza kuma ngakwisandla sasekunene salowo ulihlwempu,

Ukuze amsindise kwabo bamgwebayo.*

EkaDavide. Ingoma emnandi.

110 UYehova wathi eNkosini yam:

“Hlala ngasekunene kwam+

De iintshaba zakho ndizenze zibe yindawo yokubeka iinyawo zakho.”+

 2 UYehova uza kuphakamisa intonga yegunya lakho eZiyon, esithi:

“Yiya kwiintshaba zakho uzoyise.”+

 3 Abantu bakho baza kuzinikela ngokuvumayo ngemini yokuphuma komkhosi wakho.

Uneqela lakho labafana abanjengamathontsi ombethe,

Abaphuma ekuseni, bekhazimla bubungcwele.

 4 UYehova ufungile, ibe akazukujika, wathi:

“Ungumbingeleli ngonaphakade+

NjengoMelkitsedeki!”+

 5 UYehova uza kuba ngasekunene kwakho;+

Uza kuqhekeza ookumkani ngemini yomsindo wakhe.+

 6 Uza kuzigweba iintlanga;+

Uza kwenza ilizwe ligcwale izidumbu.+

Uza kuyiqhekeza inkokheli* yelizwe elikhulu.*

 7 Iza* kusela kumjelo osecaleni kwendlela.

Ngoko ke, iza kuyiphakamisela phezulu intloko yayo.

 2 Kwanga lingadunyiswa igama likaYehova

Ngoku nangonaphakade.+

 3 Malidunyiswe igama likaYehova,

Ukususela ekuphumeni kwelanga ukuya ekutshoneni kwalo.+

 4 UYehova uphakame ngaphezu kweentlanga zonke;+

Uzuko lwakhe luphakame ngaphezu kwamazulu.+

Nezikhulu zabantu bakhe.

 9 Unika umfazi ongafumani bantwana ikhaya

Abe ngumama owonwabileyo nonabantwana.*+

Dumisani uYa!*

114 Xa uSirayeli waphuma eYiputa,+

Indlu kaYakobi isimka ebantwini abathetha ulwimi lwasemzini,

 2 UYuda waba yindawo yakhe engcwele,

USirayeli wayindawo alawula kuyo.+

 3 Ulwandle lwayibona lwaza lwabaleka;+

NeYordan yabuya umva.+

 4 Iintaba zadloba okweenkunzi zeegusha,+

Neenduli okwamatakane eegusha.

 5 Wawubaleka ntoni, wena lulwandlendini?+

Wajikela ntoni, wena Yordan?+

 6 Yintoni eyayinenza nidloba-dlobe okweenkunzi zeegusha, nina zintaba,

Nani zinduli, okwamatakane eegusha?

 7 Ngcangcazela wena mhlaba, ngenxa yeNkosi,

Ngenxa kaThixo kaYakobi,+

 8 Ojika iliwa libe lichibi lamanzi elineengcongolo,

Ilitye lenyengane libe yimithombo yamanzi.+

115 Mayingabi sithi Yehova, mayingabi sithi,*

Kodwa mayibe ligama lakho elizukiswayo+

Ngenxa yothando lwakho olungagungqiyo nokuthembeka kwakho.+

 2 Kutheni iintlanga zimele zide zithi:

“Uphi uThixo wabo?”+

 3 UThixo wethu usemazulwini;

Wenza nantoni na ayithandayo.

 4 Izithixo zabo ziyisilivere negolide,

Zenziwe ngabantu.+

 5 Zinomlomo, kodwa azithethi;+

Zinamehlo, kodwa aziboni;

 6 Zineendlebe, kodwa aziva;

Zinempumlo, kodwa azikwazi kunukisa;

 7 Zinezandla, kodwa aziphathi;

Zineenyawo, kodwa azihambi;+

Akuphumi sandi emiqaleni yazo.+

 8 Abantu abazenzileyo baza kuba njengazo kanye,+

Kube njalo nakwabo bathembele ngazo.+

 9 Owu Sirayeli, thembela ngoYehova;+

Uluncedo lwakho nekhaka lakho.+

10 Owu ndlu ka-Aron,+ thembela ngoYehova;

Uluncedo lwakho nekhaka lakho.

11 Nina enoyika uYehova, thembelani ngoYehova;+

Uluncedo lwenu nekhaka lenu.+

12 UYehova usikhumbule ibe uza kusisikelela;

Uza kuyisikelela indlu kaSirayeli;+

Uza kuyisikelela indlu ka-Aron.

13 Uza kubasikelela abo boyika uYehova,

Abancinci nabakhulu.

Nina nabantwana* benu.+

15 Wanga anganisikelela uYehova,+

UMenzi wezulu nomhlaba.+

16 Amazulu ngakaYehova,+

Kodwa umhlaba uwunike oonyana babantu.+

17 Abafileyo abamdumisi uYa;+

Abamdumisi abo bathe cwaka ekufeni.+

18 Kodwa thina siza kumdumisa uYa

Ngoku nangonaphakade.

Dumisani uYa!*

116 Ndiyamthanda uYehova

Kuba uyaliva* ilizwi lam, xa ndikhalela uncedo.+

 2 Kuba uyithobele kum indlebe yakhe,*+

Ibe ndiza kukhalela kuye ubomi bam bonke.*

 3 Iintambo ezibulalayo zandirhintyela;

Ingcwaba lalindibambe nkqi.+

Ndandityhafiswe ziingxaki nayintlungu.+

 4 Kodwa ndabiza egameni likaYehova, ndathi:+

“Owu yhini Yehova, ndisindise!”*

 5 UYehova uyabavela abantu* yaye ulilungisa;+

UThixo wethu unenceba.+

 6 UYehova ubahoyile abo bangenamava.+

Ndandilihlwempu, wandisindisa.

 7 Mawuphinde uphumle umphefumlo* wam,

Kuba uYehova undenzele ububele.

 8 Wena undisindise* ekufeni,

Wasindisa ilihlo lam ezinyembezini, nonyawo lwam ekukhubekeni.+

 9 Ndiza kuhamba phambi koYehova kwilizwe labaphilayo.

10 Ndandinokholo, ngoko ndathetha;+

Ndandisentlungwini engathethekiyo.

11 Ndoyika, ndaza ndathi:

“Wonke umntu ulixoki.”+

12 Ndiza kumbuyekeza ngantoni uYehova

Ngazo zonke izinto ezintle andenzele zona?

13 Ndiza kuthatha indebe yosindiso,*

Ndibize egameni likaYehova.

14 Ndiza kuzenza izinto endizifunge kuYehova

Phambi kwabo bonke abantu bakhe.+

15 Kubi* emehlweni kaYehova

Ukufa kwabantu bakhe abathembekileyo.+

16 Owu yini Yehova,

Ndingumkhonzi wakho.

Ndingumkhonzi wakho, unyana wekhobokazana lakho.

Undikhulule ekubotshweni kwam.+

17 Ndiza kunikela kuwe umbingelelo wokubulela;+

Ndiza kubiza egameni likaYehova.

18 Ndiza kuzenza izinto endizifunge kuYehova+

Phambi kwabo bonke abantu bakhe,+

19 Kwiiyadi zendlu kaYehova,+

Phakathi kwakho, Yerusalem.

Dumisani uYa!*+

117 Dumisani uYehova, nonke nina zintlanga;+

Mzukiseni, nonke nina zizwana.+

 2 Kuba usithanda ngokungagungqiyo;+

UYehova uhlala ethembekile+ ngonaphakade.+

Dumisani uYa!*+

118 Bulelani kuYehova, kuba ulungile;+

Uthando lwakhe olungagungqiyo lukho ngonaphakade.

 2 USirayeli makathi:

“Uthando lwakhe olungagungqiyo lukho ngonaphakade.”

 3 Abendlu ka-Aron mabathi:

“Uthando lwakhe olungagungqiyo lukho ngonaphakade.”

 4 Abo boyika uYehova mabathi:

“Uthando lwakhe olungagungqiyo lukho ngonaphakade.”

 5 Ndambiza uYa* xa ndandisentlungwini;

UYa wandiphendula waza wandizisa kwindawo ekhuselekileyo.*+

 6 UYehova usecaleni lam; andizukoyika.+

Angandenza ntoni umntu?+

 7 UYehova usecaleni lam njengomncedi wam,*+

Ndiza kubabukela besiwa abo bandicaphukelayo.+

 8 Kubhetele ukubalekela kuYehova

Kunokuthembela ebantwini.+

 9 Kubhetele ukubalekela kuYehova

Kunokuthembela kwiinkosana.+

10 Ndandirhangqwe zizo zonke iintlanga,

Kodwa ndazidudula+

Egameni likaYehova.

11 Zandirhangqa, zandirhangqa ngokupheleleyo,

Kodwa ndazidudula

Egameni likaYehova.

12 Zandirhangqa okweenyosi,

Kodwa zacinywa msinya oku komlilo wameva.

Ndazidudula+

Egameni likaYehova.

13 Zandityhala ngamandla* zifuna ukundiwisa,

Kodwa uYehova wandinceda.

14 UYa likhusi namandla am,

Uye waba lusindiso lwam.+

15 Kutsho intsholo yoloyiso

Ezintenteni zamalungisa.

Isandla sasekunene sikaYehova sibonakalisa amandla aso.+

16 Isandla sasekunene sikaYehova siphakamile;

Isandla sasekunene sikaYehova sibonakalisa amandla aso.+

17 Andizukufa, ndiza kuphila,

Ukuze ndivakalise imisebenzi kaYa.+

18 UYa wandiqeqesha ngokuqatha,+

Kodwa akazange andinikele ekufeni.+

19 Ndivuleleni iigeyithi zobulungisa;+

Ndiza kungena kuzo ndidumise uYa.

20 Le yigeyithi kaYehova.

Amalungisa aza kungena ngayo.+

21 Ndiza kukudumisa, kuba undiphendule+

Waza walusindiso lwam.

22 Ilitye elalingafunwa ngabakhi

Liye laba lilitye lekona eliyintloko.+

23 Le nto yenziwe nguYehova;+

Iyamangalisa kuthi.+

24 Le yimini eyenziwe nguYehova;

Siza kuyonwabela, kube mnandi.

25 Sicela usisindise Yehova!

Owu yhini Yehova, sincede soyise, siyakucela!

26 Usikelelekile lowo uza egameni likaYehova;+

Thina basendlini kaYehova sithi sikelelekani.

27 UYehova nguThixo;

Usinika ukukhanya.+

Yizani emathekweni niphethe amasebe,+

Niye kutsho ezimpondweni zesibingelelo.+

28 Wena unguThixo wam, ndiza kukudumisa;

Thixo wam, ndiza kukuphakamisa.+

29 Bulelani kuYehova,+ kuba ulungile;

Uthando lwakhe olungagungqiyo lukho ngonaphakade.+

 4 Singayicula njani ingoma kaYehova

Kwilizwe lasemzini?

 5 Ukuba ndingakulibala, Yerusalem,

Masingakwazi ukwenza nto* isandla sam sasekunene.+

 6 Ulwimi lwam maluthi nca enkalakahleni yam

Ukuba andikukhumbulanga,

Ukuba iYerusalem andiyibekanga ngaphezu

Kwezona zinto zindivuyisayo.+

 7 Khumbula Yehova,

Amazwi athethwa ngamaEdom ngemini eyawa ngayo iYerusalem, esithi:

“Yidilizeni! Yidilizeni niye kutsho kwiziseko zayo!”+

 8 Ntombi yaseBhabhiloni, eza kutshatyalaliswa kungekudala,+

Kodwa abaziphakamisayo ubazela kude.+

 7 Kwanaxa ndihamba engozini, wena uyandikhusela.+

Uzolulela isandla iintshaba zam;

 3 Uyandibukela* xa ndihamba naxa ndilala,

Uzazi zonke iindlela zam.+

 4 Kuthi kungekaphumi lizwi emlonyeni wam,

Ube wena Yehova sele ulazi kakuhle.+

 5 Undijikeleze ngasemva nangaphambili;

Ubeka isandla sakho phezu kwam.

 6 Indlela ondazi ngayo indimangalisa gqitha.

Ingaphaya kwam.+

 7 Ndingawubaleka ndiye phi umoya wakho,

Ibe ndingabubaleka ndiye phi ubuso bakho?+

 8 Ukuba bendinganyuka ndiye ezulwini, ubuza kuba lapho,

Nokuba bendingabeka umandlalo wam engcwabeni,* jonga! ubuza kuba lapho.+

 9 Ukuba bendingabhabha ngamaphiko oms’ obomvu

Ndiye kuhlala ngakolona lwandle lukude,

10 Nalapho isandla sakho besiza kundikhokela,

Isandla sakho sasekunene sindibambe.+

11 Nokuba bendingathi: “Ngokuqinisekileyo ubumnyama buza kundifihla!”

Ubusuku bebuza kujika bube kukukhanya.

12 Nobumnyama obo bebungazukuba mnyama kuwe,

Kodwa ubusuku bebuza kukhanya kanye njengasemini;+

Ubumnyama bufana nqwa nokukhanya kuwe.+

13 Kuba wena wadala izintso zam;

Wandifihla* esibelekweni sikamama.+

14 Ndiyakudumisa kuba ndenziwe ngendlela emangalisayo.+

Imisebenzi yakho iyamangalisa,+

Ndiyazi* kakuhle loo nto.

15 Amathambo am ayengafihlekanga kuwe

Xa ndandisenziwa emfihlekweni,

Xa ndabunjwayo ezinzulwini zomhlaba.+

16 Amehlo akho andibona ndiseyimbumba;

Encwadini yakho, kwabhalwa ngeentsuku ezaziza kubunjwa ngazo

Zonke iinxalenye zam,

Kungekabikho nanye kuzo.

17 Ndizixabisa ngeyona ndlela izinto ozicingayo!+

Owu Thixo, xa zizonke zininzi ngeyona ndlela!+

18 Ukuba ndingazama ukuzibala, zininzi kunesanti.+

Xa ndivuka, ndisekunye nawe.*+

19 Owu Thixo, akwaba ubungababulala abenzi-bubi!+

Abantu abaziindlobongela* bebeza kutsho bemke phambi kwam,

20 Abo bathetha kakubi ngawe ngenkohlakalo;*

Baziintshaba zakho, ibe balisebenzisa kakubi igama lakho.+

21 Owu Yehova, ndiyabacaphukela abo bakucaphukelayo,+

Ibe ndiyabenyanya abo bakuvukelayo.+

22 Andifuni nokubabona;+

Bajike baziintshaba kum.

23 Ndigocagoce Thixo, uyazi intliziyo yam.+

Ndihlolisise, uzazi izinto endizicingayo ezindenza ixhala.*+

24 Khawujonge ukuba akukho nto inokundenzakalisa na apha kum,+

Uze undikhokelele+ endleleni kanaphakade.

Eya kumalathisi. Ingoma emnandi kaDavide.

140 Ndisindise Yehova kwizikhohlakali;

Ndikhusele kwiindlobongela,+

 2 Abantu abapheka amayelenqe enkohlakalo ezintliziyweni zabo+

Abavusana noqhushululu imini yonke.

 3 Balola ulwimi lwabo njengolwenyoka;+

Banetyhefu yamarhamba emilebeni yabo.+ (Selah)

 4 Ndicela undikhusele Yehova ezandleni zabenzi-bubi;+

Ndingabi lixhoba leendlobongela,

Abo baceba ukundikhubekisa.

 5 Abantu abanekratshi bandibekele isibatha;

Bolula iintambo ngasendleleni bendenzela umnatha.+

Bandibekela imigibe.+ (Selah)

 6 Ndithi kuYehova: “UnguThixo wam.

Ndimamele Yehova xa ndicela undincede.”+

 7 Owu Yehova Nkosi enguMongami, Msindisi wam onamandla,

Ukhusela intloko yam ngemini yedabi.+

 8 Owu Yehova, sukubanika izinto abazinqwenelayo abenzi-bubi.

Ungawavumeli aphumelele amayelenqe abo, ukuze bangabi nakratshi. (Selah)+

 9 Akwaba iintloko zabo bandijikelezileyo

Zingathiwa wambu ngalaa nkohlakalo isemilebeni yabo.+

10 Akwaba banganethwa ngamalahle avuthayo.+

Mabajulwe emlilweni,

Emngxunyeni onzulu,*+ baze bangaphindi baphume.

11 Makangabi nandawo emhlabeni* umntu ongcolisa amagama abanye.+

Mabaleqwe bububi abantu abathanda ubundlobongela, buze bubatshabalalise.

12 Ndiyazi ukuba uYehova uza kumlwela umntu ophantsi

Aze amenzele ubulungisa olihlwempu.+

13 Ngokuqinisekileyo amalungisa aza kulidumisa igama lakho;

Abalungileyo baza kuhlala phambi kobuso bakho.*+

Ingoma emnandi kaDavide.

141 Owu Yehova, ndikhalela kuwe.+

Khawuleza uzokundinceda.+

Ndicela usimamele isikhalo sam.+

 2 Kwanga umthandazo wam ungaba njengesiqhumiso esiqholiweyo+ phambi+ kwakho,

Izandla zam eziphakamileyo zibe njengomnikelo wokutya okuziinkozo wangokuhlwa.+

 3 Wubekele unogada umlomo wam, owu Yehova,

Yibekele unogada imilebe yam.+

 4 Sukuyivumela intliziyo yam irhalele nantoni na embi,+

Ndingazenzi izinto ezimbi ezenziwa ngabantu abakhohlakeleyo;

Mandingaze nditye izimuncu-muncu zabo.

 5 Ukuba ilungisa lingandibetha, liya kuba libonisa uthando olungagungqiyo;+

Ukuba lingandiluleka, iya kuba yioli kwintloko yam loo nto,+

Engenakuze yaliwe yintloko yam.+

Ndiza kuqhubeka ndilithandazela naxa lisehlelwa yintlekele.

 6 Nokuba abantu bangabaphosa eliweni abagwebi babo,

Baza kuwamamela amazwi am, kuba amnandi.

 7 Amathambo ethu athe saa emlonyeni wengcwaba,*

Oku kwamagada omhlaba atyunyuzwa ngumntu olimayo.

 8 Kodwa amehlo am ajonge kuwe, Nkosi enguMongami Yehova.+

Ndibalekela kuwe.

Ndicela ungandibulali.

 9 Ndikhusele kwisibatha abandibekele sona,

Kwimigibe yabenzi-bubi.

10 Bebonke nje abenzi-bubi baza kubanjiswa yiminatha yabo+

Ngoxa mna ndidlula ndikhuselekile.

IMaskili.* EkaDavide, xa wayesemqolombeni.+ Umthandazo.

142 Ngelizwi lam ndibiza uYehova ndicela uncedo;+

Ngelizwi lam ndicenga uYehova ukuba andenzele ububele.

 2 Ndimxelela onke amaxhala am;

Iingxaki zam ndizibeka phambi kwakhe+

 3 Xa ndiphelelwa ngamandla.*

Emva koko ugada indlela yam.+

Kwindlela endihamba kuyo

Babeka isibatha.

 4 Jonga kwisandla sam sasekunene,

Ubone ukuba akukho nomnye umntu ondikhathaleleyo.*+

Andinayo nendawo yokubalekela;+

Akukho namnye undihoyileyo.*

 5 Ndibiza wena, owu Yehova, ndicela undincede.

Ndithi: “Uyindawo yam yokubalekela,+

Ndinawe wedwa* kwelabaphilayo.”

 6 Ndihoye njengokuba ndikhalela uncedo,

Kuba ndithotywe ngendlela engathethekiyo.

Ndisindise kwabo banditshutshisayo,+

Kuba banamandla kunam.

 7 Ndikhuphe ejele

Ukuze ndilidumise igama lakho.

Mandijikelezwe ngamalungisa

Kuba uyandithantamisa.

Ingoma emnandi kaDavide.

143 Owu Yehova, wuve umthandazo wam;+

Kumamele ukukhalela kwam uncedo.

Ndiphendule ngokuthembeka nangobulungisa bakho.

 2 Ungammangaleli umkhonzi wakho,

Kuba akukho mntu uphilayo unokuba lilungisa phambi kwakho.+

 3 Kuba utshaba luyandileqa;

Lubunyathelele phantsi ubomi bam.

Lundenze ndahlala ebumnyameni okwabantu abafa kudala.

 4 Umoya wam uphantsi;*+

Intliziyo yam indindisholo.+

 5 Ndikhumbula imihla yakudala;

Ndicingisisa ngayo yonke imisebenzi yakho;+

Ndicingisisa* ngomsebenzi wezandla zakho.

 6 Ndizolulela kuwe izandla zam;

Ndifana nelizwe elomileyo elikunxanelweyo.+ (Selah)

 7 Khawuleza undiphendule Yehova.+

Ndiphelelwe ngamandla.*+

Sukundifihlela ubuso bakho,+

Okanye ndiza kufana nabo behla baye emngxunyeni.*+

 8 Kusasa mandive ngothando lwakho olungagungqiyo,

Kuba ndithembele ngawe.

Ndazise indlela endimele ndihambe ngayo,+

Kuba ndikhalela kuwe.

 9 Ndisindise kwiintshaba zam Yehova.

Ndibalekela kuwe.+

10 Ndifundise ukwenza ukuthanda kwakho,+

Kuba unguThixo wam.

Umoya wakho ulungile;

Mawundikhokelele kumhlaba othe tyaba.*

11 Ndigcine ndiphila Yehova, ngenxa yegama lakho.

Ndisindise* ezinkathazweni, ngenxa yobulungisa bakho.+

12 Zitshabalalise* iintshaba zam, ngenxa yothando lwakho olungagungqiyo;+

Batshabalalise bonke abo bandiphethe kakubi,*+

Kuba ndingumkhonzi wakho.+

EkaDavide.

144 Makadunyiswe uYehova, iLiwa lam,+

Ofundisa izandla zam ukulwa,

Iminwe yam imfazwe;+

 2 Unothando olungagungqiyo ibe uyindawo yam ekhuselekileyo,

Uyindawo endibalekela kuyo* nomsindisi wam,

Ulikhaka lam nomkhuseli wam,+

Lowo woyisa izizwana phantsi kwam.+

 3 Owu Yehova, ebeyintoni na umntu ukuba ungade umqaphele,

Unyana womntu nje ofayo ukuba ungade umhoye?+

 4 Umntu ufana nje nomphunga;+

Imihla yakhe injengesithunzi esidlulayo.+

 5 Owu Yehova, thoba* amazulu akho wehle;+

Chukumisa iintaba, uzenze ziqhume.+

 6 Lenyezisa imibane, uzibethe zithi saa iintshaba zam;+

Zidubule ngeentolo zakho zitsho ziduba-dubeke.+

Esandleni sabasemzini,*+

 8 Abamlomo uthetha ubuxoki

Nabaphakamisa isandla sabo sasekunene ukuze bafunge ngobuxoki.

 9 Owu Thixo, ndiza kukuculela ingoma entsha.+

Ndiza kukudumisa ngengoma* nangomrhubhe oneentambo ezilishumi,

10 Wena owenza ookumkani boyise,*+

Osindisa uDavide umkhonzi wakho ekubulaweni likrele.+

11 Ndihlangule, undisindise kwabasemzini,

Abamlomo uthetha ubuxoki

Nabaphakamisa isandla sabo sasekunene ukuze bafunge ngobuxoki.

12 Oonyana bethu baza kuba njengezityalo ezincinci ezikhula ngokukhawuleza,

Iintombi zethu zibe njengeentsika zekona ezihonjiselwe indlu kakumkani.

13 Iindawo zethu zokugcina ukutya ziza kuphuphuma ziintlobo ngeentlobo zokutya;

Imfuyo yethu iza kuphindaphindeka ibe ngamawaka, amashumi amawaka.

14 Iinkomo zethu ezimithiyo azizukuphuma sisu;

Akukho sikhalo siza kuvakala kwiindawo zethu zikawonke-wonke.

15 Bonwabile abantu eza kwenzeka kubo le nto!

Bonwabile abantu abanoThixo onguYehova!+

Indumiso kaDavide.
