Ihubo 3
Ihubo likaDavida ebalekela indodana yakhe u-Abhisalomu.
1 Oh Thixo banengi kangaka abayizitha zami!
Banengi kangaka abangihlaselayo!
2 Abanengi bathi ngami,
“UNkulunkulu kayikumhlenga.”
3 Kodwa wena uyisihlangu sokungivikela, Oh, Thixo,
inkazimulo yami, uphakamisa ikhanda lami.
4 Ngikhala kakhulu kuThixo
uyangiphendula esentabeni yakhe engcwele.
5 Ngilala phansi ngijumeke;
ngibuye ngiphaphame, ngoba uThixo uyangilondoloza.
6 Angiyikubesaba abangamatshumitshumi ezinkulungwane
abangihlaselayo inxa zonke.
7 Phakama, awu Thixo
Ngisindise, Oh Nkulunkulu wami.
Zibethe zonke izitha zami emhlathini;
akhumule amazinyo ababi.
8 KuThixo kuvela insindiso.
Sengathi isibusiso Sakho singaba sebantwini Bakho.
