IINDUMISO 30 - isiXhosa 1996

Umthandazo wokubulelaUmhobe kaDavide; iculo lokuvulwa kwendlu *kaNdikhoyo.

1Ndokudumisa, Ndikhoyo, kuba undisindisile,

akwavuma ukuba zindivuyelel' iintshaba zam.

2Ndikhoyo, Thixo wam, ndibhenela kuwe;

kuba wena undihlangule ekufeni.

3Wandikhupha kwelabafileyo wena, Ndikhoyo;

wandikhetha kwabo behlela emhadini.

4Mbongen' uNdikhoyo, nina milowo yakwakhe,

nilibonge igama lakhe elingcwele.

5Kaloku yeyomzuzwana ingqumbo yakhe;

ukanti buhlala buhlel' ububele bakhe.

Ewe, zibakho zon' iinzingo ebusuku,

kodwa kusasa kuba yimincili yodwa.

6Xa izinto zazindilungele,

ndandidla ngokuthi: “Andisoze ndoyisakale.”

7Ewe, ndandithe zinzi njengentaba

ngenxa yobubele bakho, Ndikhoyo.

Suka wena wasithela;

ndaza mna ndakhathazeka.

8Kodwa ndithembele kuwe, Ndikhoyo;

ndiyazithoba kuwe, Nkosi yam.

9Kukho nzuzoni na xa ndiye kwantshabalala?

Lunganako na ukukudumisa uthuli?

Khona lungabalisa na ngokunyaniseka kwakho?

10Ndive, Ndikhoyo, undenzele inceba;

Ndikhoyo, yiba ngumncedi wam.

11Wabuguqula baluvuyo ubunzima bam;

wandikhulul' ezokuzila, wandambathis' ezolonwabo.

12Mandikubonge ndingayeki, Thixo wam;

ewe, ndikubonge kude kube ngunaphakade, Ndikhoyo!
