< Amahubo 59 >
1 Ngikhulula ezitheni zami, Nkulunkulu wami, ungimise ngaphezu kwabangivukelayo.
Kumqondisi wokuhlabela. Itshuni ethi, “Ungabhidlizi.” ElikaDavida. Imikithamu. Ngesikhathi uSawuli ethume amadoda ukuqaphela indlu kaDavida ukuze bambulale. Ngikhulula ezitheni zami, awu Nkulunkulu; ngivikela kulabo abangivukelayo.
2 Ngikhulula kubenzi bobubi, ungisindise ebantwini abomele igazi.
Ngikhulula kubenzi bobubi ungisindise ebantwini abomele igazi.
3 Ngoba, khangela, bacathamela umphefumulo wami; abalamandla bayangihlanganyela, kungekho siphambeko sami njalo kungekho sono sami, Nkosi.
Ake ubone ukuthi bangicathamela njani! Amadoda esabekayo angakhela amacebo kungelacala loba isono engisenzileyo, Oh Thixo.
4 Ngaphandle kwecala bayagijima bezilungisa. Vuka, ungisize, ubone.
Angonanga lutho, kodwa balungele ukungihlasela. Phakama ungisize; ake ubone umumo engikuwo!
5 Wena-ke, Nkosi Nkulunkulu wamabandla, Nkulunkulu kaIsrayeli; vuka ukuze uhambele zonke izizwe, ungahawukeli lamunye wabakhohlisayo ebubini. (Sela)
Oh Thixo Nkulunkulu Somandla, Nkulunkulu ka-Israyeli, ake uzivuse wena ukuze uzijezise zonke izizwe; ungabazweli isihawu bonke abahlamuki ababi.
6 Bayabuyela kusihlwa, behlaba umkhulungwane njengenja, bezingelezela umuzi.
Bathi bephenduka kusihlwa babe behwabha njengezinja, bahwede bebhoda ledolobho.
7 Khangela, bempompoloza ngomlomo wabo, inkemba zisendebeni zabo, ngoba bathi: Ngubani ozwayo?
Ake ubone ukuthi baphihlizani emilonyeni yabo: baphihliza izinkemba ezindebeni zabo, bese besithi, “Ngubani osizwayo?”
8 Kodwa wena, Nkosi, uzabahleka, uzaziklolodela zonke izizwe.
Kodwa wena, Oh Thixo, uyabahleka; uyazigqabhazela zonke lezozizwe.
9 Ngenxa yamandla akhe ngizalindela kuwe, ngoba uNkulunkulu uyinqaba yami.
Oh Mandla ami, ngiyakulindela; wena, Oh Nkulunkulu, uyinqaba yami,
10 UNkulunkulu womusa wami uzangandulela; uNkulunkulu uzangenza ngibone isiloyiso sami ezitheni zami.
Nkulunkulu wami olothando. UNkulunkulu uzahamba phambi kwami angenze ngiklolode phezu kwalabo abangingcolisayo.
11 Ungazibulali, hlezi abantu bakithi bakhohlwe; uzizulazulise ngamandla akho, uzehlisele phansi, wena sihlangu sethu, Nkosi.
Kodwa ungababulali, Nkosi hawu lethu, funa abantu bakithi bakhohlwe. Ngamandla akho baphumputhekise njalo ubehlule wena Thixo, sihlangu sethu.
12 Ngesono somlomo wazo, ngelizwi lendebe zazo, kazibanjwe ekuzigqajeni kwazo, langenxa yokuhlambaza lokuqamba amanga ezikukhulumayo.
Ngenxa yezono zemilomo yabo, ngenxa yamazwi ezindebe zabo, kababanjwe belokhu bezigqaja benjalo. Ngenxa yezethuko lamanga abawaqambayo,
13 Uziqede ngokuthukuthela, uziqede zingabi khona, ukuze bazi ukuthi uNkulunkulu uyabusa koJakobe, kuze kube sekupheleni komhlaba. (Sela)
babhuqe ngolaka, babhuqe bangabi khona futhi. Lapho-ke kuzakwaziwa lasemikhawulweni yomhlaba ukuthi uNkulunkulu uyabusa phezu kukaJakhobe.
14 Kababuyele-ke kusihlwa behlaba umkhulungwane njengenja, bezingelezela umuzi.
Bathi bephenduka kusihlwa babe behwabha njengezinja, bahambahambe becathama edolobheni.
15 Bona kabazulazulele ukudla, nxa bengasuthanga kabalale.
Bayazula bedinga ukudla bahlabe umkhulungwane nxa bengasuthanga.
16 Kodwa mina ngizahlabelela ngamandla akho; yebo, ngizahlabelela kakhulu ekuseni ngomusa wakho; ngoba ube yinqaba yami lesiphephelo sami ngosuku lokuhlupheka kwami.
Kodwa mina ngizahlabelela ngihaya amandla akho, ekuseni ngizahlabelela ngihaya uthando lwakho, ngoba wena uyinqaba yami, isiphephelo sami ezikhathini zokuhlupheka.
17 Mandla ami, ngizahlabelela kuwe, ngoba uNkulunkulu uyinqaba yami, uNkulunkulu womusa wami.
Oh wena Mandla ami, ngihlabelela indumiso kuwe; wena, Oh Nkulunkulu uyinqaba yami, Nkulunkulu wami olothando.
