Ihubo lika-Asafi
1 UNkulunkulu usesihlalweni emhlanganweni omkhulu;
nguye owahlulelayo phakathi kwabo “nkulunkulu”:
2 “Koze kube nini livikela ababi na
libonakala lithanda izigangi?
3 Lamlelani ababuthakathaka lezintandane;
melani amalungelo abayanga labahlukuluzwayo.
4 Lamlelani ababuthakathaka labaswelayo;
bephuleni esandleni sababi.
5 Onkulunkulu kabazi lutho, kabazwisisi lutho.
Bayantula emnyameni;
zonke izisekelo zomhlaba zixukuxiwe.
6 Ngathi, ‘Lingo “nkulunkulu”;
lonke lingamadodana akhe oPhezukonke.’
7 Kodwa lizakufa lingabantu nje;
lizakuwa njengamanye amakhosi wonke.”
8 Phakama, Oh Nkulunkulu, yahlulela umhlaba,
ngoba zonke izizwe ziyilifa lakho.
