Kodwa uThixo uya kuwuhlangula umphefumlo wam esandleni selabafileyo

1Kumvumi, ingoma yoonyana bakaKora yivani, nonke bemi belimiweyo;

2Abaphantsi nabaphezulu, abazizityebi nabangamahlwempu kunye.

3Umlomo wam uya kuthetha ubulumko; kwaye iingcinga zentliziyo yam ziya kukuqonda.

4Ndiya kuyinqumla indlebe yam emzekelisweni; Ndiya kulivulela entsimbini ilizwi lam elimnyama.

5Ndoyikelani na emihleni yobubi, Xa ubugwenxa babandibambisayo bujikelezile?

6Abo bakholose ngobutyebi babo, nozuko lwabo ngobuninzi bobutyebi;

7Akukho namnye unako ukumkhulula ngentlawulelo umzalwana wakhe, angamnikeli uThixo intlawulelo ngaye.

8(Ngokuba usindiso lwemiphefumlo yabo lubalulekile, luhlala ngonaphakade.)

9ukuze ahlale ngonaphakade, angayiboni intshabalalo.

10Kuba uyabona ukuba izilumko ziyafa, nesidenge nomgxeki bayatshabalala baze bayishiyele abanye indyebo yabo.

11Iingcinga zabo ezingaphakathi zezokuba izindlu zabo zihlala kude kuse ephakadeni, neendawo zabo zokuhlala ukusuka kwesinye isizukulwana kuye kwesinye; amazwe azo bawabiza ngamagama.

12Ke yena obekekileyo akahlali; nifana nezilwanyana ezitshabalalayo.

13Yiyo le indlela yabo, nokumatha kwabo, nembewu yabo ivumelana namazwi abo. Sela.

14Babuthe ngokweegusha emangcwabeni; ukufa kuya kubondla; yaye amalungisa aya kubalawula ngomso; nobuhle babo buya kutshatyalaliswa kwelabafileyo, bungabikho ebudodeni babo.

15Kodwa uThixo uya kuwuhlangula umphefumlo wam emandleni eHadesi, ngenxa yokuba uya kundamkela. Sela.

16Musani ukoyika ukuba umntu uthe waba sisityebi, yande indlu yakhe;

17Kuba xa ithe yafa, ayisayi kuthabatha nto; abuyi kuhla emva kwakhe uzuko lwakhe.

18Nangona wawusikelela umphefumlo wakhe ngoxa wayesaphila, yaye abantu baya kukudumisa xa uthe wazenzela okulungileyo.

19Uya kuya esizweni sooyise; abayi kukubona ukukhanya kwemini.

20Umntu obekekileyo, ongaqondiyo, ufana nezilwanyana ezitshabalalayo.
