IHubo 31:1-24
Kumqondisi wokuhlabela. Ihubo likaDavida.
31 Ngiphephela kuwe Jehova.+
Ungavumeli ukuthi ngiyangiswe.+
Ngikhulula ngoba wena ulungile.+
2 Ngicela ulalele engikutshoyo.*
Woza masinyane uzongikhulula.+
Woba yintaba yami engivikelayo,Indawo evikelekileyo engingacatsha kuyo.+
3 Ulidwala lami lenqaba yami,+Uzangikhokhela futhi ungiqondise+ ngenxa yebizo lakho.+
4 Uzangikhulula enethini abangithiye ngayo+Ngoba uyindawo yami yokucatsha evikelekileyo.+
5 Impilo yami ngiyibeka* ezandleni zakho.+
Ungisindisile Jehova Nkulunkulu weqiniso.+
6 Ngiyabazonda abakhonza izithombe ezingancedi ngalutho.
Mina ngithembele kuJehova.
7 Ngiyathokoza kakhulu ngenxa yothando lwakho oluqotho,Ngoba ukubonile ukuhlupheka kwami.+
Uyakwazi okungikhathazayo enhliziyweni yami.
8 Awunginikelanga ezitheni zami,Kodwa ungimise endaweni evikelekileyo.*
9 Awu Jehova, woba lomusa kimi ngoba ngisebunzimeni.
Amehlo ami asefiphele ngenxa yobuhlungu engikubo,+ Umzimba wami wonke usumdambiyana.+
10 Impilo yami igcwele usizi,+Ngisebuhlungwini.+
Sengiphela amandla ngenxa yesono sami,Lamathambo ami asebuthakathaka.+
11 Zonke izitha zami ziyangichothoza,+Ikakhulu omakhelwane bami.
Abangane bami sebengesaba,Nxa bengibona bayangibalekela.+
12 Angisekho ezinhliziyweni zabo, sebekhohlwe ngami angathi sengafa.
Senginjengembiza ehlephukileyo.
13 Kunengi okubi esengizwe abantu bekukhuluma ngami,+Ngiyesaba ngoba banengi abangisongelayo.
Lapho bebuthana ndawonye ukuze balwe lami,Babumba amacebo okungibulala.+
14 Kodwa ngithembele kuwe awu Jehova.+
Ngithi: “UnguNkulunkulu wami.”+
15 Impilo yami isezandleni zakho.
Ngikhulula ezandleni zezitha zami lakulabo abangihlukuluzayo.+
16 Woba lomusa encekwini yakho.*+
Ngisindisa ngenxa yothando lwakho oluqotho.
17 Awu Jehova, ungavumi ukuthi ngiyangeke nxa ngikubiza.+
Abenza okubi akube yibo abayangekayo.+
Kabathuliswe engcwabeni.+
18 Kwangathi abaqamba amanga bangathuliswa,+Labo abakhuluma bezigqaja bedelela abalungileyo.
19 Buyamangalisa ubuhle bakho!+
Kunengi okuhle okugcinele labo abakwesabayo,+Ukwenze phambi kwabantu bonke, ukwenzela labo abaphephela kuwe.+
20 Uzabafihla endaweni yakho esithekileyo,+Ubavikele ebantwini abalamacebo amabi.
Uzabafihla etendeni lakho,Ubavikele ebantwini abathanda ingxabano.+
21 Kadunyiswe uJehovaNgoba wangitshengisa uthando* olumangalisayo+ ngesikhathi ngisedolobheni elivinjezelweyo.+
22 Phela ngangisesaba ngaze ngathi:
“Ngizatshabalala phambi kwakho.”+
Kodwa wena wangizwa ngikhala ngicela uncedo kuwe.+
23 Thandani uJehova, lina lonke eliqotho kuye!+
UJehova uyabavikela abathembekileyo,+Kodwa umjezisa kabuhlungu umuntu ozigqajayo.+
24 Qinani libe lesibindi,+Lina lonke elilindele uJehova.+
