UDavida wahlabelela uThixo amazwi alelihubo lapho uThixo wamsindisa esandleni sezitha zakhe zonke lasesandleni sikaSawuli.
2 Nsɛm a ɛwɔ dwom no mu ni: “Awurade yɛ me botan, mʼaban ne mʼagyenkwa;
Wathi: “UThixo ulidwala lami, inqaba yami lomsindisi wami;
3 me Nyankopɔn yɛ me botan; ne mu na minya guankɔbea. Ɔyɛ me kyɛm, me nkwagye mu ahoɔden, mʼabandennen, mʼagyenkwa, nea ogye me fi basabasayɛ mu.
uNkulunkulu wami ulidwala lami, lapho engiphephela khona, isihlangu sami lophondo lokusindiswa kwami. Uyinqaba yami, isiphephelo sami lomsindisi wami uyangisindisa ebantwini abalodlakela.
4 “Misu frɛ Awurade; ɔno na ayeyi sɛ no, efisɛ ogye me fi mʼatamfo nsam.
Ngakhuleka kuThixo ofanele ukudunyiswa, njalo ngikhululwe ezitheni zami.
5 Owu asorɔkye twaa me ho hyiae; ɔsɛe yiri faa me so.
Amagagasi okufa angikhulela; lezikhukhula zokubhubhisa zangikhulela.
Izibopho zengcwaba zangithandela; imijibila yokufa yangijamela. (Sheol h7585)
7 “Na mʼamanehunu mu no, misu frɛɛ Awurade. Yiw, mefrɛɛ me Nyankopɔn pɛɛ mmoa. Ɔtee me nne fii ne kronkronbea. Me sufrɛ duu nʼasom.
Ekukhathazekeni kwami ngakhuleka kuThixo; ngakhala kuNkulunkulu wami. Esethempelini lakhe walizwa ilizwi lami; ukukhala kwami kwafika ezindlebeni zakhe.
8 Na asase wosowee na ehinhimii; ɔsoro fapem wosowee; wɔwosowee, nʼabufuw nti.
Umhlaba wagedezela wazamazama, izisekelo zamazulu zanyikinyeka; zagedezela ngoba wayethukuthele.
9 Wusiw fii ne hwene mu; ogyaframa fii nʼanom; na nnyansramma dɛw fii mu.
Intuthu yalanquka emakhaleni akhe; umlilo ohangulayo waphuma emlonyeni wakhe, amalahle avuthayo alavuka ephuma kuwo.
10 Ofii ɔsoro baa fam; na omununkum kabii duruu nʼanan ase.
Waqhekeza amazulu wehlela phansi; amayezi amnyama ayengaphansi kwezinyawo zakhe.
11 Ɔte kerubim so tui; gyaagyaa ne ho wɔ mframa ntaban so.
Wagada amakherubhi waphapha; wantweza phezu kwamaphiko omoya.
12 Ɔde sum kataa ne ho hyiae, ɔde osu mununkum dii nʼanim kan.

13 Hann kɛse hyerɛn wɔ nʼanim, na anyinam pa fii mu.
Phakathi kokukhazimula kobukhona bakhe, izikhatha zombane zalavuza khona.
14 Awurade bobɔɔ mu fi ɔsoro; Ɔsorosoroni no teɛɛ mu dennen.
UThixo wakhwaza esezulwini; ilizwi loPhezukonke lanqenqetha.
15 Ɔtow nʼagyan maa nʼatamfo hwetee; anyinam twa ma wɔyɛɛ basaa.
Waciba imitshoko wazihlakaza izitha, ngezikhatha zombane waziqothula.
16 Awurade kasae, na wiase nnyinaso no nyinaa daa hɔ. Wotumi huu ɛpo ase, na asase fapem ho daa hɔ.
Izigodi zolwandle zambulwa lezisekelo zomhlaba zavezwa obala ekukhuzeni kukaThixo, ngomfutho wokuphefumula kwamakhala akhe.

Welula isandla sakho usezulwini wangibamba wangihlenga enzikini yamanzi.
18 Ogyee me fii mʼatamfo a wɔyɛ den nsam, atamfo a wokyi me na wɔn ho yɛ den pa ara sen me.
Wangihlenga esitheni sami esilamandla, ezitheni zami ezazingigabhela ngamandla.
19 Wɔbaa me so wɔ mʼamanehunu da, nanso Awurade pagyaw me.

22 Efisɛ manantew Awurade akwan so; mentwee me ho mfii me Nyankopɔn ho nkɔyɛɛ bɔne.
Ngoba ngizigcinile izindlela zikaThixo; angenzanga okubi ngokufulathela uNkulunkulu wami.
23 Ne mmara nyinaa gu mʼanim; mentwee me ho mfii ne nhyehyɛe ho.
Yonke imithetho yakhe iphambi kwami; angizifulathelanga izimiso zakhe.
24 Me ho nni asɛm wɔ Onyankopɔn anim; matwe me ho afi bɔne ho.
Ngibe ngilokhu ngimsulwa phambi kwakhe njalo ngisixwayile isono.
25 Awurade tuaa me papayɛ so ka, efisɛ minni fɔ wɔ nʼanim.
UThixo ungivuze ngokufanele ukulunga kwami; ngokufanele ukuhlanzeka kwami phambi kwakhe.
26 “Woda wo ho adi sɛ ɔnokwafo kyerɛ wɔn a wodi nokware, wɔn a wodi mu nso wo kyerɛ wɔn sɛ wodi mu.
Kwabathembekileyo lawe uthembekile, kwabamsulwa lawe umsulwa,
27 Wuyi wo kronkronyɛ kyerɛ ɔkronkronni, nanso amumɔyɛfo de wukyi wɔn.
kwabahlanzekileyo uziveza uhlanzekile, kodwa kwabangaqondanga uziveza ukhaliphile.
28 Wugye ahobrɛasefo, nanso wʼani kɔ ahantanfo so sɛ wobɛbrɛ wɔn ase.
Uyabasindisa abathobekileyo; kodwa amehlo akho akhangele abazigqajayo ukuba ubehlisele phansi.
29 Wo Awurade, woyɛ me kanea. Yiw, Awurade woma me sum dan hann.
Uyisibane sami, Oh Thixo, uThixo uguqula ubumnyama bami bube yikukhanya.
30 Wʼahoɔden mu, metumi aka asraafokuw agu; me Nyankopɔn nti, mitumi foro ɔfasu.
Ngosizo lwakho ngingaphuma ngimelane lebutho lempi, ngoNkulunkulu wami ngingawukhwela umduli.
31 “Onyankopɔn de, nʼakwan yɛ pɛ; Awurade bɔhyɛ nyinaa ba mu. Ɔyɛ nkatabo ma wɔn a wɔhwehwɛ bammɔ wɔ ne mu.
Izindlela zikaNkulunkulu uqobo lwakhe ziphelele; ilizwi likaThixo kalilasici. Ulihawu labo bonke abaphephela kuye.
32 Hena ne Onyankopɔn, gye sɛ Awurade? Hena ne ɔbotantim no, gye sɛ yɛn Nyankopɔn?
Ngoba ngubani uNkulunkulu ngaphandle kukaThixo? Njalo ngubani oliDwala ngaphandle kukaNkulunkulu wethu na?
33 Onyankopɔn ne mʼaban a ɛyɛ den; wagye me, na wama me kwan so ayɛ pɛ.
NguNkulunkulu ongihlomisa amandla enze indlela yami iphelele.
34 Ɔma mʼanammɔn ho yɛ hare sɛ ɔforote de; Ɔma me gyina sorɔnsorɔmmea.
Wenza inyawo zami zibe njengezempala; ungenza ngime ezingqongweni.

Uqhelisa indlela enginyathela kuyo, ukuze inqagala zami zingapheci.
38 “Metaa mʼatamfo sɛee wɔn; mannyina kosii sɛ wodii nkogu.
Ngaxotshana lezitha zami ngaziqothula; kangibuyanga ngingakazibhubhisi zonke.
39 Meyam wɔn, mebɔɔ wɔn hwee fam, na wɔantumi ansɔre; wɔhwehwee ase wɔ mʼanan ase.
Ngaziqothula okupheleleyo, njalo zazingeke zisavuka; zawela ngaphansi kwezinyawo zami.

Wangihlomisa ngamandla okulwa impi; wenza abaxabana lami bakhothama ezinyaweni zami.

Wenza izitha zami zafulathela zabaleka, njalo ngazibhubhisa izitha zami.
42 Wosu pɛɛ mmoa, nanso obiara ammegye wɔn. Wosu frɛɛ Awurade, nanso wannye wɔn so.
Bakhala becela uncedo, kodwa wayengekho owayengabahlenga kuThixo, kodwa kaphendulanga.
43 Meyam wɔn ma wɔyɛɛ sɛ asase so mfutuma; mepraa wɔn guu suka mu sɛ wura.
Ngabatshaya bacholeka njengothuli lomhlabathi; ngabagxoba ngabanyathela njengodaka ezindleleni.
44 “Womaa me nkonimdi wɔ wɔn a wɔbɔ me kwaadu so. Woahwɛ sɛ mɛyɛ amanaman sodifo; na nnipa a minnim wɔn som me.
Ungikhulule ekuhlaselweni yilababantu; ungigcine ngiyinhloko yezizwe. Abantu engangingabazi sebebuswa yimi,
45 Ananafo brɛ wɔn ho ase ma me; wɔte me nka pɛ ara a, wɔde wɔn ho ma me.
abezizweni bayatshotshobala phambi kwami; bathi bengizwa nje ngendaba, bangilalele.
46 Wɔn nyinaa bɔ huboa, na wɔde ahopopo fi wɔn nsraban mu ba.
Bonke badelile; beza bethuthumela bevela ezinqabeni zabo.
47 “Awurade te ase! Ayeyi nka me botan, ma wɔmma Onyankopɔn, me nkwagye botan so.
UThixo uyaphila! Alidunyiswe iDwala lami! Kaphakanyiswe uNkulunkulu wami, iDwala, uMsindisi wami!
48 Ɔno ne Onyankopɔn a ɔtɔ wɔn a wɔhaw me so were; ɔka amanaman no hyɛ mʼase
UnguNkulunkulu ongiphindiselelayo, obeka izizwe ngaphansi kwami,
49 na ogye me fi mʼatamfo nsam. Wode me si baabi a mʼatamfo nnu, wugye me fi atutuwpɛfo a wotia me nsam.
ongikhululayo ezitheni zami. Wena wangiphakamisela ngaphezu kwezitha zami; wangihlenga ebantwini bodlakela.
50 Awurade eyi nti, mɛkamfo wo wɔ amanaman mu, Ao Awurade. Mɛto ayeyi dwom ama wo din.
Ngakho ngizakudumisa, Oh Thixo, phakathi kwezizwe; ngizahlabelela indumiso yebizo lakho.
51 “Wode nkonimdi akɛse ama wo hene; woda ɔdɔ a ɛnsa da adi kyerɛ nea woasra no ngo, wode kyerɛ Dawid, ne nʼasefo afebɔɔ.”
Unika inkosi yakhe ukunqoba okukhulu; ubonakalisa umusa wakhe ongapheliyo kogcotshiweyo wakhe, kuDavida lenzalo yakhe kuze kube phakade.”
