uYobhi ubuthethelela ubumsulwa bakhe

1Ndenze umnqophiso namehlo am; khona ndicingela intombi?

2Kuba siyini na indawo kaThixo evela phezulu? Liyintoni na ilifa loSomandla elivela phezulu?

3Ayikontshabalalo na kwabangendawo? Sibetho esimangalisayo na kwabenzi bobubi?

4Akaziboni na yena iindlela zam, Awabale onke amabanga am?

5Ukuba ndihambe ndafumana ndafumana, Lwakhawuleza ukuchukumisa unyawo lwam;

6Makandilinganise esikalini, akwazi uThixo ubulungisa bam.

7Ukuba ukunyathela kwam kuyatyeka emendweni, Intliziyo yam ilandela amehlo am, Nebala linamathele ezandleni zam;

8Makhe ndihlwayele, kudle omnye; Ewe, mayinqunyulwe imbewu yam.

9Ukuba ibihendekile intliziyo yam ngenxa yomfazi, Ndabheka emnyango wommelwane wam;

10Umkam makadle ngelinye ixesha, kuqubude phambi kwakhe;

11Ngokuba bububi obubi; ewe, akulunganga ukohlwaywa ngabagwebi.

12Kuba loo nto ngumlilo ovuthayo use entshabalalweni yaye uya kuyitshabalalisa yonke imveliso yam.

13Ukuba ndithe ndalandula ilungelo lomkhonzi wam nelomkhonzazana wam, ekubeni babambene nam;

14Ndithini na xa evuka uThixo? Ukuba uthe wavela, ndophendula ndithini na?

15Lowo wandenzayo esizalweni, akamenzanga na? yaye akakho na umntu osidale ngokomfanekiso kanina?

16Ukuba bendibanqanda abasweleyo kwiminqweno yabo, okanye ndiwagxothe amehlo omhlolokazi;

17Bendisidle ndedwa iqhekeza lam, ayasidla nenkedama;

18Ngokuba ndamkhulisa kwasebuncinaneni bam, njengoyise, ndamkhupha esizalweni sikama;

19Ukuba ndithe ndambona otshabalalayo, engenanto yengubo, nehlwempu lingenanto yokwambatha;

20Ukuba abengandisikeleli amanqe akhe, Akazifudumeza ngoboya bempahla yam emfutshane;

21Ukuba ndithe ndasiphakamisela isandla sam kwinkedama, Andiluboni uncedo lwam esangweni.

22Masiwele ngoku isandla sam egxalabeni lam, nengalo yam mayiphuke ethanjeni.

23Ngokuba ukutshitsha kukaThixo bekundinkwantyisa, Ndingenako ukukuthwala ngenxa yobukhulu bakhe.

24Ukuba bendenze igolide inqolonci yam, Ndathi kwigolide ecikizekileyo, Ndikholose;

25Ukuba bendikuvuyela ukuba buninzi kobutyebi bam, nokuba buninzi kwesandla sam;

26Ndakubona ilanga liphuma, nenyanga ihamba kakuhle;

27Yavakala entsithelweni intliziyo yam, Wasanga umlomo wam isandla sam.

28Kwaye kwaba bubugwenxa obufanele ukohlwaywa ngumgwebi, ngenxa yokuba ndibe ndikhanyela uThixo ophakamileyo.

29Ukuba bendikuvuyela ukutshabalala kondithiyileyo, Ndaziphakamisa xa efikelwe bububi;

30Ke andiwuvumelanga umlomo wam ukuba one, ndiwunqwenelele intshwabulo umphefumlo wakhe;

31Akwaba bebengatshongo abantu bentente yam, ukuthi, Akwaba besinayo inyama yakhe! asiyi kwaneliswa.

32Undwendwe lwalungahlali esitratweni, kodwa iingcango zam ndandizivulela elundwendwe.

33Ukuba bendizigqubuthele njengoAdam izono zam, Bendibubeke ubugwenxa bam esifubeni sam;

34Ngaba bendisoyika isihlwele esikhulu, okanye ngaba indelo yaloo ntsapho yandoyikisayo, kangangokuba ndathi cwaka ndingaphumi emnyango?

35Owu, umntu uya kundiva! Yabona, umnqweno wam kukuba uSomandla andiphendule, Abandichasayo babhale incwadi.

36Ndayithwala ngesixhanti, ndasithwala njengesithsaba sam.

37Inani lamabanga am bendiya kwazisa yena; njengenkosana bendiya kuye.

38Ukuba ilizwe lakowethu lithe lakhala ngam, nokukhala kwalo;

39Ukuba ndithe ndadla iziqhamo zawo ngaphandle kwemali, bafa abaniniwo;

40Makuhlume imithana enameva esikhundleni sengqolowa, Kuhlume ukhula esikhundleni serhasi. Amazwi kaYobhi agqityiwe.
