Ukuthemba eNkosini

1Ngiphephela kuwe, Nkosi,

ungangiyangisi lanini,

ungikhulule ngokulunga kwakho.

2Ngibekela indlebe yakho,

ungophule masinyane,

ube lidwala lesiphephelo sami,

inqaba yokungisiza.

3Impela wena ulidwala lami lenqaba yami;

ngenxa yebizo lakho ngihola ungiqondise;

4ngikhupha embuleni engithiywe ngalo,

ngoba wena uyinqaba yami.

5Ezandleni zakho ngiyabeka umoya wami;

ungikhulule, Nkosi, Nkulunkulu othembekileyo.

6Uyabazonda labo abakhonza izithombe eziyize;

kodwa mina ngithemba iNkosi.

7Ngizakuthaba ngithokoze ngothando lwakho olungapheliyo,

ngoba ukubonile ukuhlupheka kwami,

wazinanzelela inhlupheko zami;

8kawunginikelanga ezandleni zezitha,

umise inyawo zami endaweni ebanzi.

9Woba lomusa kimi, Nkosi, ngoba ngiyahlupheka;

amehlo ami aqedwa lusizi,

lomphefumulo wami lomzimba wami.

10Ngoba ukuphila kwami kuqedwa lusizi,

leminyaka yami iyikububula;

amandla ami ayaphela ngenxa yezinhlupheko,

lamathambo ami anciphile.

11Sengiyinhlekisa kuzo zonke izitha zami,

ikakhulu kwabakhelene lami,

ngiyesabeka kubangane bami;

abangibonayo ezindleleni bayangibalekela.

12Kangisakhunjulwa, senginjengofileyo;

senginjengembiza efileyo.

13Inxa zonke ngifikelwa yikwesaba,

lapho ngisizwa ukunyenyeza kwabanengi,

besenza icebo ngami, beqonde ukungibulala.

14Kodwa mina ngithemba kuwe, Nkosi,

ngithi: Wena unguNkulunkulu wami.

15Izikhathi zami zisesandleni sakho;

ngikhulula ezandleni zezitha zami labangizingelayo.

16Khanyisa ubuso bakho phezu kwenceku yakho;

ungisize ngothando lwakho olungapheliyo.

17Nkosi, ungangiyangisi, ngoba ngiyakhuleka kuwe;

kabayangeke ababi, bathule endaweni yabafileyo.

18Kayithuliswe imilomo eqamba amanga,

ekhuluma ngokudelela abalungileyo

ngokuzigqaja langokweyisa.

19Yeka ubukhulu bokulunga kwakho

okubekele labo abakwesabayo,

okwenzela phambi kwabantu labo abaphephela kuwe!

20Uyabafihla ekusithekeni kokubakhona kwakho,

ubavikele emacebeni abantu,

ubalondoloze ethenteni lakho,

ubavikele ebantwini abahlebayo.

21Kayibongwe iNkosi, ngoba ingenzele uthando olukhulu olumangalisayo

esikhathini sokuhlupheka kwami.

22Ngangithe ekwethukeni kwami:

Ngixotshiwe emehlweni akho, Nkosi.

Kodwa wena wezwa ukunxusa kwami

lapho ngicela kuwe usizo.

23Ithandeni iNkosi lina lonke abalungileyo.

INkosi iyabalondoloza abathembekileyo,

kanti iyamphindisela kakhulu ozigqajayo.

24Qinani, lime isibindi,

lina lonke elithemba iNkosi.
