IINDUMISO 144
144
Ukumkani ubulela uThixo ngenxa yoloyiso
Umhobe kaDavide.
1Makabongwe *uNdikhoyo ondikhuselayo,
yena ondiqeqeshela idabi,
andenze ndiyiqulele imfazwe.
2Yena ulixhadi nenqaba yam,
umqolomba nomhlanguli wam,
umkhuseli endincathama ngaye.
Izizwe uzifaka phantsi kwam.
3Awu, Ndikhoyo, yaz'ba kuxa eyintoni na umntu
le nto ude uzidube ngaye?
Ngani ukuba ude uzikhathaze ngaye?
4Umntu ufana nqwa nomphunga,
imihla yakhe injengesithunzi sisiya kusithela.
5Wakuwashukumisa amazulu, Ndikhoyo,
suka akhahleleke phantsi.
Wakuzichukumisa iintaba zithuquza umsi.
6Lekuza ngemibane, ubasarhaze;
binza ngeentolo batsho baduba-dubeke.
7Yolula isandla sakho kweliphezulu,
undonyule ndiphume kulo mgxobhozo.
Ndihlangule esandleni seentlanga
8ezimilomo impompoza ubuxoki,
ezifunga ubuqhophololo.
9Thixo wam, ndiya kukudumisa ngengoma entsha;
ndiya kukuculela ngekatala.
10Ngumavathis' ookumkani ngoloyiso,
umhlanguli kaDavide isicaka sakhe.
Ndisindise kwikrele lezikhohlakali;
11ndihlangule esandleni seentlanga
ezimilomo impompoza ubuxoki,
ezifunga ubuqhophololo.
12Oonyana bethu ebutsheni babo
banga banganjengezityalo eziyokozelayo;
iintombi zethu zibe njengamatye akroliweyo
alungiselelwe ukuvathisa ibhotwe.
13Akwaba bangaphuphuma oovimba bethu,
bazale ziintlobo ngeentlobo zesivuno.
Akwaba zingazala amawaka iigusha zethu,
zande ngamawaka aphindwe kalishumi emaphandleni.
14Ngamana zathatha iimazi zethu zeenkomo;
zingemi ngenxa yokuphunza.
Ngamana akungebikho zimbonono ezitalatweni zethu;
ewe, singaphithizeliswa kukuthinjwa.
15Hayi uyolo lwabantu abayixhamlayo le ntsikelelo!
Sinenyhweba kambe isizwe esiThixo waso unguNdikhoyo!
