Amahubo 55
1 Kumqondisi wokuhlabela. Kutshaywa iziginci. Ihubo likaDavida. Lalela umkhuleko wami, Oh Nkulunkulu, ungafulatheli isikhalazo sami;
Beka indlebe, Nkulunkulu, emkhulekweni wami, ungazifihli ekunxuseni kwami.
2 ngizwa ungiphendule. Imicabango yami iyangikhathaza, ngididekile
Lalela kimi, ungiphendule; ngiyazulazula ekukhalazeni kwami, ngenza umsindo,
3 ngelizwi lesitha sami, lokunyonkolozwa ngababi; ngoba bangibangela inhlupho bangithuka bethukuthele.
ngenxa yelizwi lesitha, ngenxa yembandezelo yomubi; ngoba bangethwesa ububi, langentukuthelo bayangizonda.
4 Inhliziyo yami iyatshiseka ngaphakathi kwami; ukwesaba ukufa kuyangiqinela.
Inhliziyo yami iyafutha phakathi kwami, lezethuso zokufa ziwele phezu kwami.
5 Ukwesaba lokuthuthumela sekungihlasele; isithuli sesingigabhela.
Uvalo lokuthuthumela kungifikele, lokwesaba okukhulu kungigubuzele.
6 Ngathi, “He, aluba ngangilamaphiko njengejuba! Ngangizaphapha ngizoziphumulela kude.
Ngasengisithi: Kungathi ngabe ngilempiko njengejuba! Bengizaphaphela khatshana, ngiphumule.
7 Ngangizabaleka ngiye kude ngiyehlala enkangala;
Khangela, bengingabalekela khatshana ngihlale enkangala. (Sela)
8 ngangizaphanga ngiye enqabeni yami, kude kwesikhukhula lesiphepho.”
Bengizaphangisisa ukuphunyuka kwami, ngisuke emoyeni ovunguzayo, esiphephweni.
9 Sanganisa ababi, Oh Thixo, sanganisa ukukhuluma kwabo, ngoba ngibona udlakela lengxabano edolobheni.
Sanganisa, Nkosi, yehlukanisa ulimi lwabo. Ngoba ngibone udlakela lokuxabana emzini.
10 Emini lebusuku bayacathama emidulini yalo; umona lenzondo kugcwele lapho.
Emini lebusuku bayawubhoda phezu kwemithangala yawo; njalo ububi lenkathazo kuphakathi kwawo.
11 Imimoya yokubhidliza yiyo esibusa; izisongo lamanga akusasuki emigwaqweni.
Inkohlakalo iphakathi kwawo; imbandezelo lenkohliso kakusuki emgwaqweni wawo.
12 Aluba ngithukwa yisitha ngingakubhensela lokho; aluba ongizondayo engivukela ngingamcatshela.
Ngoba kakusisitha esingiyangisayo, uba kunjalo bengizakuthwala; kakusuye ongizondayo oziphakamisa phezu kwami; uba kunjalo bengizamcatshela.
13 Kodwa nguwe, umuntu njengami, umkhula wami, umngane wami oseduze,
Kodwa nguwe, umuntu olingana lami, umngane wami lowejwayelene lami.
14 engake ngaba lobudlelwano obukhulu laye lapho sasihamba ndawonye labanengi endlini kaNkulunkulu.
Esasicebisana ngokumnandi sonke, saya endlini kaNkulunkulu silixuku.
15 Yekela ukufa kuzijume izitha zami; yekela bagqitshelwe bephila engcwabeni, ngoba ububi buthe khoxo phakathi kwabo. (Sheol h7585)
Ukufa kakubazume, kabehlele esihogweni bephila, ngoba ububi busemizini yabo, phakathi kwabo. (Sheol h7585)
16 Kodwa ngiyambiza uNkulunkulu, uThixo angisindise.
Mina ngizabiza uNkulunkulu, iNkosi ingisindise-ke.
17 Kusihlwa, ekuseni lemini ngiyakhala ngisosizini, yena uyalizwa ilizwi lami.
Kusihlwa lekuseni lemini ngizakhalaza ngikhale kakhulu, ibisilizwa ilizwi lami.
18 Uyangihlenga ngingakalimali kuleyompi engihlaselayo, loba bebanengi abaxabana lami.
Ikhululile umphefumulo wami ngokuthula empini emelene lami, ngoba babebanengi kimi.
19 UNkulunkulu osesihlalweni sobukhosi lanininini, uzabezwa abachithachithe abantu abangaguqukiyo ezindleleni zabo njalo abangamesabiyo uNkulunkulu.
UNkulunkulu uzakuzwa, abahluphe, ngitsho yena obehlezi endulo. (Sela) Ngoba bengelazinguquko, ngakho kabamesabi uNkulunkulu.
20 Umkhula wami uyabahlasela abangane bakhe; wephula isivumelwano asenzayo.
Welule isandla sakhe kwabaxolelene laye, wasingcolisa isivumelwano sakhe.
21 Inkulumo yakhe ibutshelezi njengolaza, kodwa kulempi enhliziyweni yakhe amazwi akhe alolozela ukwedlula amafutha kodwa abukhali kulensingo.
Umlomo wakhe wawubutshelezi kulolaza, kanti inhliziyo yakhe yimpi; amazwi akhe abuthakathaka kulamafutha, kanti azinkemba ezihwatshiweyo.
22 Yethula inswelo zakho kuThixo yena uzakusekela; akazukuyekela abalungileyo bawe.
Phosela umthwalo wakho phezu kweNkosi, yona izakusekela; kayiyikuvuma lanini ukuthi olungileyo anyikinywe.
23 Kodwa wena, Nkulunkulu ababi uzabawisela egodini lokungcola; abantu abomele igazi njalo abakhohlisayo kabasoze bayiphile ingxenye yezinsuku zabo. Kodwa mina, ngithemba kuwe.
Kodwa wena, Nkulunkulu, uzabehlisela emgodini wokubhujiswa; abantu begazi lenkohliso kabayikufinyelela lengxenyeni eyodwa kwezimbili yensuku zabo. Kodwa mina ngizathemba kuwe.
