Amahubo 35

1 Phikisana, Nkosi, labaphikisana lami, ulwe labalwa lami.

2 Xhakalaza ihawu lesihlangu esikhulu, usukumele usizo lwami.

3 Hwatsha lomkhonto, uvimbe indlela umelane labangizingelayo; tshono emphefumulweni wami ukuthi: Ngilusindiso lwakho.

4 Kabayangeke babe lehlazo labo abadinga umphefumulo wami. Kabahlehliselwe emuva babe lenhloni labo abaceba ububi ngami.

5 Kababe njengamakhoba phambi komoya, lengilosi yeNkosi kayibadudule.

6 Indlela yabo kayibe mnyama itshelele, lengilosi yeNkosi ibaxotshe.

7 Ngoba kungelasizatho bangifihlele imbule labo emgodini, kungelasizatho bawugebhele umphefumulo wami.

8 Ukubhujiswa kakumjume, lembule lakhe alifihlileyo kalimbambe yena, awele kulo, ekubhujisweni.

9 Kodwa umphefumulo wami uzathokoza eNkosini, ujabule esindisweni lwayo.

10 Wonke amathambo ami azakuthi: Nkosi, ngubani onjengawe, okhulula umyanga kulowo olamandla kulaye, yebo, umyanga loswelayo komphangayo?

11 Abafakazi bamanga basukuma, bangibuza engingakwaziyo.

12 Bangibuyisela okubi endaweni yokuhle, umphefumulo wami ulahlekelwa.

13 Kanti mina, ekuguleni kwabo isembatho sami sasilisaka, ngathobisa umphefumulo wami ngokuzila ukudla, lomkhuleko wami wabuyela esifubeni sami.

14 Ngahamba ngokungathi ungumngane ngokungathi ungumfowethu; ngikhotheme kwezimnyama njengolilela unina.

15 Kodwa ekukhubekeni kwami bathokoza, babuthana ndawonye, abalahliweyo babuthana ndawonye bemelene lami, njalo ngangingakwazi; badabula kabemanga.

16 Kanye lababi abaklolodayo edilini, bangigedlela amazinyo abo.

17 Nkosi, uzabukela kuze kube nini? Buyisa umphefumulo wami ekubhubhiseni kwabo, wona wodwa owami emabhongweni ezilwane.

18 Ngizakubonga ebandleni elikhulu, ngikudumise phakathi kwabantu abanengi.

19 Bangajabuli ngami abayizitha zami ngamanga, kabangangificeli ilihlo labo abangizonda ngeze.

20 Ngoba kabakhulumi ukuthula, kodwa baceba amazwi enkohliso bemelene labachumileyo emhlabeni.

21 Kanti bangikhamisela kakhulu umlomo wabo bathi: Aha, aha, ilihlo lethu likubonile!

22 Nkosi, usukubonile; ungathuli. Nkosi, ungabi khatshana lami.

23 Zivuse, uvukele ilungelo lami, udaba lwami, Nkulunkulu wami leNkosi yami.

24 Ngahlulela, Nkosi Nkulunkulu wami, ngokulunga kwakho; kabangathokozi ngami.

25 Kabangatsho enhliziyweni yabo ukuthi: Hiya, yisifiso sethu! Bangatsho ukuthi: Simginyile.

26 Kabayangeke babe lenhloni ndawonye abajabula ngosizi lwami; bembathiswe ngenhloni lehlazo labo abazikhukhumeza ngami.

27 Kabamemeze ngenjabulo bathabe abaloyisa ukulunga kwami, yebo kabatsho njalonjaloukuthi: Kayikhuliswe iNkosi ethokoza ngokuhlala kuhle kwenceku yayo.

28 Lolimi lwami luzakhuluma ukulunga kwakho, usuku lonke indumiso yakho.
