139
Nkulunkulu wati konkhe, ukhona yonkhe indzawo
Sihlabelelo saDavide lesetfulwe kumhlabelisi.
1 Simakadze ungihlolisisile, uyangati.
2 Uyakwati kuhlala kwami nekuvuka kwami,
imicabango yami uyati ingakaveli.
3 Uhlolisisa kuhamba kwami nekulala kwami,
uyatati tonkhe tindlela tami.
4Livi litsi liselulwimini lwami,
wena, Simakadze,
ube sewulati ngalokuphelele.
5Ungitungeletile ngemuva nangembili,
wangivikela ngesandla sakho.
6Indlela longati ngayo iyangimangalisa,
iphakeme, ngingeke ngifinyelele kuyo.
7Ngingayaphi ngisuke kuMoya wakho?
Ngingashona kuphi
ngibaleke ebusweni bakho?
8 Nangikhuphukela emazulwini,
wena ulapho,
nangendlala licansi lami
endzaweni yalabafile, wena ulapho.
9Nangingandiza ngetimphiko tentsatsakusa,
ngiye ngihlale emikhawulweni yelwandle,
10nakhona lapho sandla sakho besiyawungihola,
sekudla sakho singibambe singicinise.
11Nome bengingatsi:
“Bumnyama abungisibekele,
kukhanya kugucuke
kube busuku lobungitungeletile,”
12bumnyama bebungeke bube mnyama kuwe,
busuku bebuyawukhanya njengemini,
ngobe bumnyama bufanana nekukhanya kuwe.
13 Ngobe nguwe lowadala imibilini yami,
wangeluka esiswini samake.
14 Ngiyakudvumisa ngobe ngentiwe
ngendlela leyesabekako nalemangalisako.
Imisebenti yakho iyamangalisa,
loko ngikwati kahle kamhlophe.
15Ematsambo ami
abengakafihlakali kuwe,
ngesikhatsi ngibunjwa ekusitsekeni
ngelukwa esiswini samake.
16 Wangibona ngiselihlwili.
Onkhe emalanga ami
abhalwa encwadzini yakho,
ajutjwa, lisengakefiki nalinye lawo.
17 Imicabango yakho ijulile, Nkulunkulu!
Maye, bukhulu bunyenti bayo!
18Nangingayibala, ingaba minyenti
kwendlula tinhlavu tesihlabatsi.
Nangivuka, wena usenami.
19Shangatsi wena, Nkulunkulu,
ungababhubhisa lababi.
Ngako-ke sukani kimi,
nine bantfu bengati.
20Bayakuhlambalata,
laba labatitsa takho
bakhuluma kabi ngelibito lakho.
21 Simakadze, angibatondzi yini
labo labatondza wena?
Anginengwa yini
ngulabo labakuvukelako?
22Ngibazonda ngenzondo lephelele.
Ngibatsatsa njengetitsa tami.
23 Ngihlolisise, Nkulunkulu,
wati inhlitiyo yami!
Ngilinge, wati imicabango yami,
24ubone kutsi kute yini
lokubi ekuhambeni kwami,
bese ungiholela endleleni yaphakadze.
