Mapisarema 54

1 Kumutungamiri wokuimba nemitengeranwa ine hungiso. Rwiyo rweMasikiri rwaDhavhidhi. VaZefati pavakaenda kuna Sauro kundoti, “Ko, Dhavhidhi haana kuvanda pakati pedu here?” Ndiponesei, imi Mwari, nezita renyu; ndiruramisirei nesimba renyu.

Kumqondisi wokuhlabela. Kutshaywa iziginci. Ihubo likaDavida. Lapho amaZifi aya kuSawuli afika athi, “Kanti uDavida kacatshanga yini phakathi kwethu?” Ngisindisa, awu Nkulunkulu, ngebizo lakho; ngigeza ecaleni ngamandla akho.

2 Inzwai munyengetero wangu, imi Mwari; teererai kumashoko omuromo wangu.

Zwana umkhuleko wami, Oh Nkulunkulu; lalela amazwi omlomo wami.

3 Vatorwa vanondirwisa; vanhu vane utsinye vanotsvaka upenyu hwangu, vanhu vasingazivi Mwari. Sera

Ngihlaselwa ngabantu engingabaziyo; izikliwi zifuna impilo yami abantu abangamnanzanga uNkulunkulu.

4 Zvirokwazvo Mwari ndiye mubatsiri wangu; ishe ndiye anonditsigira.

Ngeqiniso uNkulunkulu ulusizo lwami; uThixo nguye ongisizayo.

5 Zvakaipa ngazvimonere pane avo vanondireva; muvaparadze pakutendeka kwenyu.

Akuthi ububi bubuyele phezu kwalabo abangigconayo; ngokuthembeka kwakho babhubhise.

6 Ndichakubayirai chipiriso chokungopa; ndicharumbidza zita renyu, imi Jehovha, nokuti rakanaka.

Ngizakwenzela umhlatshelo owomnikelo wokuzithandela; ngizalidumisa ibizo lakho, Thixo, ngoba lihle.

7 Nokuti akandirwira pamatambudziko angu ose, uye mukukunda, meso angu akatarisa vavengi vangu.

Ngoba ingikhulule kuzozonke inhlupheko zami, lamehlo ami akubonile ukunqotshwa kwezitha zami.
