AmaHubo

17 Yizwa isicelo sami sobulungisa, Jehova;

Naka ukukhalela kwami usizo;

Lalela umthandazo wami ongenayo inkohliso. +

 2 Kwangathi ungangahlulela ngobulungisa; +

Kwangathi amehlo akho angabona okulungile.

 3 Uyihlolile inhliziyo yami, ungihlolile ebusuku; +

Ungicwengile; +

Uzolokhu uthola ukuthi angizange ngicebe amacebo amabi,

Nomlomo wami awuzange wone.

 4 Ngokungefani nokwenziwa abanye,

Ngiyazigwema izindlela zomphangi, ngokuvumelana namazwi ezindebe zakho. +

 5 Izinyawo zami mazihambe ezindleleni zakho

Ukuze zingakhubeki. +

 7 Bonisa uthando lwakho oluqotho ngendlela emangalisayo, +

Msindisi walabo abafuna isiphephelo esandleni sakho esinamandla*

Kulabo abakuvukelayo.

 8 Ngiqaphe njengenhlamvu yeso lakho; +

Ngifihle ngaphansi kwamaphiko akho. +

 9 Ngiqaphe kwababi abangihlaselayo,

Ezitheni zami ezingizungezile ezifuna ukungibulala. +

10 Azisenalo uzwela;*

Ziyaqhosha ngomlomo wazo;

11 Manje sezisihaqile; +

Zilindele ithuba lokusiwisa.*

12 Omubi ufana nebhubesi elilangazelela ukudwengula isisulu,

Njengebhubesi eliselincane elilungele ukuhlasela.

13 O Jehova, vuka, ukuze ubhekane naye + umnqobe;

Ngikhulule* kumuntu omubi ngenkemba yakho;

14 Ngikhulule ngesandla sakho, Jehova,

Kubantu baleli zwe,* abakhathazeka ngezinto zalokhu kuphila, +

Labo obagcwalisa ngezinto ezinhle ezivela kuwe, +

Abashiyela amadodana abo amaningi ifa.

15 Kodwa mina ngenza okulungile, ngenxa yalokho ungibonisa umusa;

Ukwazi ukuthi unami kuyanganelisa. *+
