< Amahubo 31 >
1 Kuwe, Nkosi, ngiyathemba, kangingayangeki lanini, ngikhulule ngokulunga kwakho.
Kumqondisi wokuhlabela. Ihubo likaDavida. Kuwe Thixo, sengithole isiphephelo; mangingayangiswa lanini; ngihlenga ngokulunga Kwakho.
2 Beka kimi indlebe yakho, ngikhulule masinyane, ube lidwala elilamandla kimi, indlu yezinqaba yokungisindisa.
Ngilalela, woza ngokuphangisa ungihlenge; woba lidwala lami lokuphephela, inqaba eqinileyo yokungisindisa.
3 Ngoba wena ulidwala lami lenqaba yami; ngakho ngenxa yebizo lakho ngikhokhela ungiqondise.
Njengoba ulidwala lami lenqaba yami, ngikhokhela ungihole ngenxa yegama Lakho.
4 Ngikhupha embuleni abangithiye ngalo ensitha, ngoba uyinqaba yami.
Ngikhulula emjibileni othiyelwe mina, ngoba uyisiphephelo sami.
5 Esandleni sakho ngibeka umoya wami; ungihlengile, Nkosi, Nkulunkulu weqiniso.
Ezandleni Zakho nginikela umphefumulo wami; ngihlenga, Oh Thixo, Nkulunkulu weqiniso.
6 Ngibazondile labo abananzelela okuyize kwamanga; kodwa mina ngithembela eNkosini.
Ngiyabazonda labo abanamathela izithombe eziyize; ngithemba kuThixo.
7 Ngizathaba ngithokoze emuseni wakho, ngoba ubonile uhlupho lwami, wazile umphefumulo wami ezinkathazweni.
Ngizathokoza ngijabule othandweni Lwakho, ngoba wakubona ukuhlupheka kwami wabazi ubuhlungu bomphefumulo wami.
8 Njalo kawungivalelanga esandleni sesitha, umise inyawo zami endaweni ebanzi.
Kawungifuqelanga esitheni kodwa ugxilise inyawo zami endaweni ebanzi.
9 Woba lomusa kimi, Nkosi, ngoba ngilohlupho; ilihlo lami liqedwa lusizi, umphefumulo wami lesisu sami.
Woba lomusa kimi, Oh Thixo, ngoba ngiyahlupheka; amehlo ami ayafiphala ngenxa yosizi, umphefumulo wami lomzimba wami ngokudabuka.
10 Ngoba impilo yami iphela ngosizi, leminyaka yami ngokububula; amandla ami ayadeda ngenxa yeziphambeko zami, lamathambo ami ayaqedwa.
Impilo yami incitshiswa yikukhathazeka, leminyaka yami yikububula; amandla ami ayadeda ngenxa yokuhlupheka kwami, lamathambo ami aphela amandla.
11 Sengilihlazo phakathi kwazo zonke izitha zami, kodwa ikakhulu kwabakhelene lami, sengiyikwesabeka kwabangejwayeleyo; abangibonayo ngaphandle bayangibalekela.
Ngenxa yezitha zami, sengiyinhlekisa enjani kubomakhelwane; sengiyinhlekisa kubangane bami labo abangibonayo ezindleleni bayangibalekela.
12 Bakhohlwe ngami njengofileyo enhliziyweni; nginjengesitsha esifileyo.
Sebekhohliwe ngami kungathi sengafa; senginjengembiza yebumba ehlephukileyo.
13 Ngoba ngizwile ukunyunda kwabanengi, ukwesaba inhlangothi zonke, becebisana bemelene lami, beceba ukuthatha impilo yami.
Ngoba ngizwa izingoma zabanengi; kulezisongo inxa zonke; bakha amasu okungilimaza, njalo baceba ukuchitha impilo yami.
14 Kodwa mina ngithemba kuwe, Nkosi, ngithi: UnguNkulunkulu wami.
Kodwa ngiyethemba Kuwe, Thixo; ngithi, “UnguNkulunkulu wami.”
15 Izikhathi zami zisesandleni sakho; ngikhulula esandleni sezitha zami lakwabangizingelayo.
Izikhathi zami zisezandleni Zakho; ngisindisa ezitheni zami lakulabo abangizingelayo.
16 Khanyisa ubuso bakho phezu kwenceku yakho; ungisindise ngothando lwakho.
Ubuso Bakho mabukhazimulele encekwini Yakho; ngisindisa ngothando Lwakho olungehlulekiyo.
17 Nkosi, kangingayangeki, ngoba ngikubizile; kabayangeke ababi, bathule engcwabeni. (Sheol )
Mangingahlaziswa, Oh Thixo, ngoba sengikhalile Kuwe; kodwa akuthi ababi bahlaziswe balale bathule zwi ethuneni. (Sheol )
18 Kazithuliswe indebe zamanga, ezikhuluma kalukhuni zimelene lolungileyo ngokuzigqaja langokweyisa.
Akuthi izindebe zabo zamanga zithuliswe, ezikhuluma ngokuzigqaja lokweyisa bakhuluma ngobuqholo ngabantu abalungileyo.
19 Kukhulu kangakanani ukulunga kwakho, okubekele labo abakwesabayo, okwenzela labo abathembela kuwe, phambi kwabantwana babantu!
Kukhulu kangakanani ukulunga Kwakho okugcinele labo abakwesabayo, okunika obala abantu bebona kulabo abaphephela Kuwe.
20 Uzabafihla ekusithekeni kobukhona bakho basuke kumagobe omuntu, ubafihle ethenteni ekuphikisaneni kwenlimi.
Uyabafihla ekusithekeni kobukhona Bakho emaqingeni ababi uyabagcina bevikelwe emzini wakhe ezilimini ezichothozayo.
21 Kayibongwe iNkosi, ngoba ingenzele uthando olumangalisayo emzini oyinqaba.
Udumo alube kuThixo ngoba watshengisa uthando lwakhe olumangalisayo kimi ngisedolobheni elihanqiweyo yimpi.
22 Ngoba mina ngathi ekuphangiseni kwami: Ngiqunyiwe ngasuswa phambi kwamehlo akho. Loba kunjalo uzwile ilizwi lokuncenga kwami ekukhaleni kwami kuwe.
Ngiphakathi kokwethuka ngathi, “Sengisusiwe kangisabonakali Kuwe!” Kanti wakuzwa ukukhala kwami ngicela umusa, lapho ngangicela kuwe ukusizwa.
23 Ithandeni iNkosi lonke bangcwele bayo. INkosi ilondoloza abathembekileyo, iyamphindisela kakhulukazi owenze ngokuzigqaja.
Mthandeni uThixo, lina bangcwele bakhe! UThixo uyabalondoloza abathembekileyo, kodwa abazigqajayo uyabaphindisela ngokugcweleyo.
24 Qinani, izaqinisa inhliziyo yenu, lina lonke elithembela eNkosini.
Qinani lime isibindi, lonke lina elithemba uThixo.
