Isicelo sokuhlangulwa kwesizwe
Umhobe ka-Asafu.
1Iintshaba ziwuhlasele umhlaba wakho, Thixo;
ziyixabhele indlu yakho engcwele,
iJerusalem itsho yalinxuwa.
2Imizimba yezicaka zakho kukutya kweentaka,
izidumbu zazo zityiwa ziinyamakazi.
3Igazi lazo laphalala njengamanzi,
laba ngumgxobhozo ojikelez' iJerusalem,
kungekho bani wokuzifihla.
4Sesiyintlekisa kubamelwane;
bayakrwecana bephoxisa ngathi.
5Koda kube nini, *Ndikhoyo?
Uya kusoloko ucaphukile?
Lohlala livutha ikhwele lakho?
6Wugalele ezintlangeni umsindo wakho,
kwabo bangakukhathalelanga wena,
kwizikumkani ezingakunquliyo.
7Kuba bamqwengile uYakobi,
babhuqe bavuthulula konke.
8Ungasixhibi ngenxa yezono zoobawo;
nceda velana nathi kuba siphelelwe.
9Khawuncede usisindise, Thixo wethu,
ngenxa yesidima segama lakho.
Sihlangule usixolele amatyala ethu ngenxa yegama lakho.
10Ngani ukuba iintlanga zide zithi:
“Uphi lo Thixo wabo?”
Liphindezele igazi lezicaka zakho;
masikubone uzohlwaya iintlanga.
11Yive incwina yâbo bathinjiweyo;
ngaloo mandla akho basindise abo bagwetyelwe ukufa.
12Babuyisele kasixhenxe abamelwane
ngenxa yezenyeliso abakuthuka ngazo, Mhlekazi.
13Ke thina bantu baziigusha ozalusayo
siya kukubulela njalo-njalo;
ewe, soze sipheze ukukuncoma!
