Amahubo 40

1 Ngalindela lokuyilindela iNkosi; yangithobela, yezwa ukukhala kwami.

2 Yangenyula emgodini ohlokomayo, exhaphozini lodaka, yabeka inyawo zami phezu kwedwala, yaqinisa izinyathelo zami.

3 Yafaka ingoma entsha emlonyeni wami, indumiso kuNkulunkulu wethu. Abanengi bazabona besabe, bathembe eNkosini.

4 Ubusisiwe umuntu oyenzayo iNkosi ibe lithemba lakhe, ongaphendukeli kwabazigqajayo, lalabo abaphendukela emangeni.

5 Minengi wena oyenzileyo, Nkosi, Nkulunkulu wami, imisebenzi yakho emangalisayo lemicabango yakho kithi; ingelandiswe ngokulandelana kuwe. Ngingayilandisa ngiyitsho, minengi kulokuthi ibalwe.

6 Umhlatshelo lomnikelo kawukufisi; izindlebe zami uzivulile; umnikelo wokutshiswa lomnikelo wesono kawuwubizi.

7 Ngasengisithi: Khangela, ngiyeza; emqulwini wogwalo kulotshiwe ngami.

8 Ngiyathokoza ukwenza intando yakho, Nkulunkulu wami, lomlayo wakho uphakathi kwemibilini yami.

9 Ngitshumayele ukulunga ebandleni elikhulu; khangela, kangibambanga indebe zami, Nkosi, wena uyakwazi.

10 Ukulunga kwakho kangikufihlanga phakathi kwenhliziyo yami; ngikhulumile ngobuqotho bakho langosindiso lwakho; kangifihlanga uthandolomusa wakho leqiniso lakho ebandleni elikhulu.

11 Wena Nkosi, ungangigodleli isihawu sakho; uthandolomusa wakho leqiniso lakho kakungilondoloze njalonjalo.

12 Ngoba ububi obungebalwe bungihanqile, iziphambeko zami zingibambile, ukuze ngingabi lakho ukubona; zinengi okwedlula inwele zekhanda lami; ngakho inhliziyo yami ingitshiyile.

13 Thokoza, Nkosi, ukungikhulula. Nkosi, phangisa ukungisiza.

14 Kabayangeke babe lenhloni ndawonye abadinga umphefumulo wami ukuwuchitha; kababuyiselwe emuva bayangiswe abangifisela okubi.

15 Kabachitheke kube ngumvuzo wehlazo labo abathi kimi: Aha, aha!

16 Kabathabe bajabule kuwe bonke abakudingayo; abathanda usindiso lwakho kabatsho njalonjalo bathi: Kayikhuliswe iNkosi!

17 Kodwa ngingumyanga ngiyaswela; iNkosi iyangikhumbula; ungumsizi wami lomkhululi wami; Nkulunkulu wami, ungalibali.
