AmaHubo 16 - isiZulu 1959/1997

Umkhuleko wongcwele kaNkulunkuluIMiktamu* likaDavide.

1 Ngilondoloze, Nkulunkulu,

ngokuba ngiyaphephela kuwe.

2 Ngithi kuJehova: “Wena uyiNkosi yami;

anginakho okuhle ngaphandle kwakho.”

3Abangcwele abasemhlabeni,

abayizikhulu, yonke intokozo yami ikubona.

4Ziningi izinhlupheko zabazizuzela omunye unkulunkulu;

angiyikunikela ngeminikelo yabo yegazi;

angiyikuwaphatha amagama abo ngezindebe zami.

5UJehova uyisabelo esahlukaniselwe mina,

nendebe yami;

wena uqinisa ifa lami.

6 Izabelo zingehlele ezindaweni ezinhle,

yebo, nginalo ifa elihle.

7Ngiyakumbonga uJehova ongilulekayo;

nasebusuku izinso zami ziyangiyala.

8 Ngimbeke uJehova njalo phambi kwami,

ngokuba ungakwesokunene sami,

angiyikuzanyazanyiswa.

9 Ngakho-ke inhliziyo yami iyajabula,

nomphefumulo wami uyethaba,

nenyama yami iyakuhlala ngokwethemba.

10 Ngokuba awuyikunikela umphefumulo wami endaweni yabafileyo;

awuyikuvuma ukuba ongcwele wakho abone ukubola.

11 Uyakungazisa indlela yokuphila;

ukugcwala kwenjabulo kusebusweni bakho;

intokozo isesandleni sakho sokunene kuze kube phakade.
