< Amahubo 141 >
1 Nkosi, ngiyakhala kuwe; phangisa uze kimi; beka indlebe elizwini lami lapho ngikhala kuwe.
Pisarema raDhavhidhi. Haiwa Jehovha, ndinodana kwamuri; kurumidzai kuuya kwandiri. Inzwai inzwi rangu pandinodana kwamuri.
2 Umkhuleko wami kawumiswe njengempepha phambi kwakho, ukuphakanyiswa kwezandla zami njengomnikelo wakusihlwa.
Munyengetero wangu ngauiswe pamberi penyu sezvinonhuhwira; kusimudzwa kwamaoko angu ngakuite sechibayiro chamadekwana.
3 Nkosi, bekela umlomo wami umlindi, gcina umnyango wendebe zami.
Isai murindi pamuromo wangu, imi Jehovha; chengetai mukova wemiromo yangu.
4 Ungaphenduleli inhliziyo yami entweni embi, ukuthi ngenze izenzo ezimbi kanye labantu abenza ububi, ngingadli ezibilibocweni zabo.
Mwoyo wangu ngaurege kukweverwa kune zvakaipa, kuti ndiitewo mabasa akaipa navanhu vanoita zvakaipa; ngandirege kudya zvinozipa zvavo.
5 Olungileyo kangitshaye ethandwenilomusa, angisole; kuzakuba ngamafutha ekhanda, ikhanda lami kalingawali, ngoba lomkhuleko wami usezakuba sezinhluphekweni zabo.
Akarurama ngaandirove, ndidzo tsitsi; ngaanditsiure, ndiwo mafuta pamusoro wangu. Musoro wangu hauzorambi izvozvo. Asi munyengetero wangu unorwisa mabasa avaiti vezvakaipa nguva dzose.
6 Abahluleli babo baphoselwa emaceleni edwala, bazakuzwa amazwi ami ngoba amnandi.
Vatongi vavo vachakandwa kumawere, uye vakaipa vachadzidza kuti mashoko angu akanga akanaka kwazvo.
7 Amathambo ethu ahlakazekile emlonyeni wengcwaba njengobandayo adabule emhlabathini. (Sheol )
Ivo vachati, “Sezvinoita anorima achiparura pasi, saizvozvo mapfupa edu akaparadzirwa pamuromo weguva.” (Sheol )
8 Kodwa amehlo ami akuwe, Jehova, Nkosi; ngithembele kuwe; ungawuchayi umphefumulo wami.
Asi meso angu anotarira kwamuri, imi Ishe Jehovha; ndinotizira kwamuri, regai kundiisa kurufu.
9 Ngigcina emandleni omjibila abangibekele wona, lezithiyo zabenzi bobubi.
Ndichengetei pamisungo yavakanditeya nayo, napaugombe hwakadzikwa navaiti vezvakaipa.
10 Ababi kabawele emambuleni abo kanye, ngize ngidlule mina.
Vakaipa ngavawire mumimbure yavo, ini ndichipfuura napo norugare.
