1 Khumbula, Nkosi, uDavida, izinhlupheko zakhe zonke,
Ingoma yemiqanso. Oh Thixo, khumbula uDavida ngezinhlupheko zonke azibhenselayo.
2 ukuthi wafunga eNkosini, wathembisa kuSomandla kaJakobe:
Wafunga isifungo kuThixo wenza isithembiso kuMninimandla kaJakhobe:
3 Qotho, kangiyikungena ethenteni lendlu yami, qotho, kangiyikwenyukela ecansini lombheda wami;
“Angizukungena endlini yami loba ngiye embhedeni wami,
4 qotho, kangiyikunika amehlo ami ubuthongo, ukuwozela ezinkopheni zami,
angiyikuwavumela amehlo ami ubuthongo, akukuba lakuwozela enkopheni zami,
5 ngize ngiyitholele iNkosi indawo, indawo zokuhlala uSomandla kaJakobe.
ngize ngifumane indawo kaThixo, indawo yokuhlala uMninimandla kaJakhobe.”
6 Khangela, sakuzwa eEfratha, sakuthola emasimini egusu.
Sakuzwa lokhu e-Efrathi, sakubona emangweni waseJayari:
7 Sizangena ezindlini zayo zokuhlala, sikhonze esenabelweni senyawo zayo.
“Kasiye lapho ahlala khona; kasikhonze phansi kwesihlalo sakhe.
8 Sukuma, Nkosi, uye ekuphumuleni kwakho, wena lomtshokotsho wamandla akho!
Phakama, Oh Thixo, ubuye endaweni yakho yokuphumula, wena umtshokotsho wesivumelwano elitshengisa amandla akho.
9 Abapristi bakho kabembeswe ukulunga, labangcwele bakho bathabe kakhulu.
Sengathi abaphristi bakho bangembeswa ngokulunga; sengathi labathembekileyo bakho bangahlabelela ngentokozo.”
10 Ngenxa yenceku yakho uDavida ungafulathelisi ubuso bogcotshiweyo wakho.
Ngenxa yenceku yakho uDavida, ungamfulatheli ogcotshiweyo wakho.
11 INkosi yafunga ngeqiniso kuDavida, kayiyikubuyela emuva kilo: Owesithelo sesizalo sakho ngizambeka esihlalweni sakho sobukhosi.
UThixo wenza isifungo kuDavida, isifungo esiqinileyo angakusaphula wathi: “Omunye wezizukulwane zakho ngizambeka esihlalweni sakho sobukhosi
12 Uba abantwana bakho begcina isivumelwano sami lezifakazelo zami engizabafundisa zona, labantwana babo bazahlala esihlalweni sakho sobukhosi kuze kube nini lanini.
aluba amadodana akho egcina isivumelwano sami lezimiso engibafundisa zona, lapho-ke amadodana abo azahlala esihlalweni sakho sobukhosi kuze kube nini lanini.”
13 Ngoba iNkosi iyikhethile iZiyoni, iyifisile ibe yindawo yayo yokuhlala.
Ngoba uThixo uyikhethile iZiyoni, uyithandile ukuba yindawo yakhe yokuhlala:
14 Le yindawo yami yokuphumula kuze kube nini lanini; lapha ngizahlala, ngoba ngiyifisile.
“Le yindawo yami yokuphumula lanini; lapha ngizahlala ngisebukhosini, ngoba ngiyithandile
15 Ngizabusisa kakhulu ukudla kwayo, ngisuthise abayanga bayo ngesinkwa.
ngizayibusisa ngokudla okunengi; abayanga bayo ngizabasuthisa ngokudla.
16 Labapristi bayo ngizabembathisa usindiso, labangcwele bayo bazahlabelela kakhulu ngenjabulo.
Ngizavunulisa abaphristi bayo ngensindiso, labathembekileyo bakhe bazahlabelela ngentokozo nini lanini.
17 Lapho ngizahlumisa uphondo lukaDavida; ngimisele ogcotshiweyo wami isibane.
Lapha ngizakhulisa uphondo lukaDavida ngilungisele ogcotshiweyo wami isibane.
18 Izitha zakhe ngizazembathisa ihlazo, kodwa phezu kwakhe uzakhazimula umqhele wakhe wobukhosi.
Ngizakwembathisa izitha ngehlazo, kodwa umqhele osekhanda lakhe uzakhazimula.”
