Ihubo 140
Kumqondisi wokuhlabela. Ihubo LikaDavida.
1 Ngilamulela, Oh Thixo, ebantwini ababi;
ngivikela ebantwini bodlakela,
2 abakha amacebo amabi ezinhliziyweni zabo
bahlokomise impi ukusa kwamalanga.
3 Benza izindimi zabo zicije njengezenyoka;
ubuhlungu benhlangwana busezindebeni zabo.
4 Ngivikela, Oh Thixo, ezandleni zababi;
ngiphephisa ebantwini bodlakela
abaceba ukungigwenxa.
5 Abantu abazigqajayo bangifihlele isifu;
sebewanwebile amambule abo
bangithiya lapha lalapha endleleni yami.
6 Oh Thixo, ngithi kuwe, “UnguNkulunkulu wami.”
Zwana, ukukhala kwami ngicela umusa.
7 Oh Thixo wobukhosi, mhlengi wami olamandla,
ovikela ikhanda lami ngelanga lempi
8 ungavumeli ababi izifiso zabo Oh Thixo;
ungayekeli amacebo abo ukuthi aphumelele, funa bazigqaje.
9 Akuthi ingqondo zalabo abangihanqileyo
zandelwe luhlupho oludalwe yizindebe zabo.
10 Akuthi amalahle avuthayo abakhithikele;
sengathi bangaphoselwa emlilweni,
emigodini ebhixa udaka, bangavuki futhi.
11 Akuthi abahlebayo bangatholi indawo elizweni;
akuthi umnyama ubahlale izithende abantu bochuku.
12 Ngiyazi ukuthi uThixo ubenzela okulungileyo abayanga,
ubamele abaswelayo.
13 Ngempela abalungileyo bazalidumisa ibizo lakho
labaqotho bazahlala phambi kwakho.
