Ihubo lokubonga kukaDavide
1 UDavide wakhuluma kuJehova amazwi aleli hubo mhla uJehova emophula esandleni sezitha zakhe zonke nasesandleni sikaSawule, 2 wathi:
“UJehova uyidwala lami,
nenqaba yami, nomkhululi wami;
3 uNkulunkulu uyidwala lami
engiphephela kulo,
nesihlangu sami,
nophondo lokusindiswa kwami,
inqaba yami ephakemeyo nesiphephelo sami;
msindisi wami, uyangisindisa ebudloveni.
4 Ngiyamemeza kuJehova
odumisekayo,
ngisindiswe ezitheni zami.
5 “Ngokuba amaza okufa angihaqa;
izikhukhula zokona zangethusa.
6 Izintambo zasendaweni yabafileyo
zangizungeza,
izihibe zokufa zangehlela.
7 Ekuhluphekeni kwami ngambiza
uJehova,
ngakhala kuNkulunkulu wami;
walizwa izwi lami esethempelini lakhe;
ukukhala kwami kwangena ezindlebeni zakhe.
8 “Umhlaba wawusuzamazama,
wadikizela;
izisekelo zezulu zathuthumela,
zaqhaqhazela ngokuba ethukuthele.
9 Kwenyuka umusi emakhaleni akhe,
nomlilo odlayo emlonyeni wakhe;
amalahle avutha kuye.
10Wathobisa izulu, wehla;
ubumnyama babuphansi kwezinyawo zakhe.
11 Wakhwela phezu kwekherubi,*
wandiza;
wabonwa emaphikweni omoya.
12 Wenza ubumnyama bube
ngamadokodo amphahlayo,
amanzi aqoqane, amafu abe nzima.
13Ekukhazimuleni okuphambi kwakhe
kwavuthiswa amalahle omlilo.
14 UJehova waduma ezulwini;
oPhezukonke walizwakalisa izwi lakhe.
15 Wathuma imicibisholo,
wabangquzula,
yebo, nonyazi, wabadidizelisa.
16Kwase kubonakala imisinga yamanzi;
izisekelo zomhlaba zambulwa
ngesijeziso sikaJehova,
ngokufutha komoya wamakhala akhe.
17 Waselula isandla sakhe ephezulu,
wangibamba;
wangikhipha emanzini amaningi.
18 Wangophula esitheni sami
esinamandla
nakubo abangizondayo,
ngokuba base bengahlulile.
19Bangihlasela ngosuku lwesigemegeme
sami,
kepha uJehova waba yinsika yami.
20Wangiphumisela endaweni ebanzi:
wangikhulula, ngokuba ebethokoza ngami.
21 “UJehova wangivuza ngokokulunga
kwami;
wangibuyisela njengokuhlanzeka kwezandla zami.
22Ngokuba ngizigcinile izindlela
zikaJehova;
angimukanga kuNkulunkulu wami ngokushinga.
23Ngokuba yonke imithetho yakhe
yayiphambi kwami,
nezimiso zakhe angizivumanga ukuba zisuke kimi.
24 Ngangiphelele kuye;
ngabuxwaya ububi.
25 UJehova wayesebuyisela kimi
njengokulunga kwami,
njengokuhlanzeka kwami phambi kwamehlo akhe.
26“Kothembekileyo uyazibonakalisa
ethembekile;
kumuntu oqotho uyazibonakalisa eqotho;
27 kohlanzekileyo uyazibonakalisa
ehlanzekile;
koyisigwegwe uyazibonakalisa enenkani.
28 Uyasindisa abantu abathobekileyo,
kepha amehlo akho aphezu kwabaqhoshileyo ukuba ubathobise.
29 Ngokuba wena uyisibani sami,
Jehova;
uJehova uyakhanyisa ubumnyama bami.
30 Ngokuba ngawe ngingahlasela impi;
ngoNkulunkulu wami ngingeqa ugange.
31 Indlela kaNkulunkulu iphelele;
izwi likaJehova lihlanzekile;
yena uyisihlangu kubo bonke abaphephela kuye.
32 “Ngokuba ngubani onguNkulunkulu
ngaphandle kukaJehova,
ngubani oyidwala ngaphandle kukaNkulunkulu wethu na?
33UNkulunkulu uyangibhincisa
amandla;
uyenza indlela yami ilunge,
34 yena owenza izinyawo zami zibe
njengezendluzelekazi,
angimise emagqumeni ami;
35 ofundisa izandla zami ukulwa,
ukuze izingalo zami zinsale umnsalo wethusi.
36Wena unginikile isihlangu sensindiso
yakho;
ubumnene bakho bungikhulisile.
37 Amabanga okunyathela kwami
uwandisile;
amaqakala ami awaxegi.
38“Ngazixosha izitha zami, ngazifica;
angibuyanga ngingakaziqedi.
39Ngaziqeda, ngaziphahlaza, zaze
zahluleka ukuvuka;
zawa phansi kwezinyawo zami.
40Wangibhincisa amandla okulwa;
ababengivukele wabathobisa phansi kwami.
41Wangifulathelisela izitha zami,
nabangizondayo ngabaqothula.
42 Bakhala, kepha akubangakho
osindisayo,
nakuJehova, kodwa akaze aphendula.
43Ngabacolisisa njengothuli
lomhlabathi;
ngabagxoba, ngabalahla njengensila ezitaladini.
44“Wangikhulula ezimpini zabantu
bami;
wangilonda ngaba yinhloko yabezizwe;
abantu engingabaziyo bangikhonza.
45 Abafo bazithoba phansi kwami;
banele ukungizwa nje ngendlebe,
base bengilalela.
46Abafo babuna,
baphuma ezinqabeni zabo bethuthumela.
47“UJehova usekhona malidunyiswe
idwala lami;
makaphakanyiswe uNkulunkulu wensindiso yami,
48uNkulunkulu onginikile impindiselo,
wathobisa izizwe phansi kwami;
49ongikhiphile ezitheni zami,
wangiphakamisa phezu kwabangivukelayo,
wangikhulula kumuntu oyisidlwangudlwangu.
50 Ngalokho-ke ngizakukubonga
phakathi kwabezizwe, Jehova,
ngilihubele igama lakho.
51 Uyenza insindiso ibe nkulu enkosini
yakhe;
uyenza umusa kogcotshiweyo wakhe uDavide
nasenzalweni yakhe kuze kube phakade.”
