IHubo 35:1-28
ElikaDavide.
35 O Jehova, singatha icala lami umelane nabaphikisana nami;+Yilwa nalabo abalwa nami.+
2 Bamba ihawu nesihlangu esikhulu,+Uphakame ukuze ungisize,+
3 Uhoshe umkhonto nembazo esika nhlangothi zombili ukuze uhlangabeze abangisukelayo.+Yithi emphefumulweni wami: “Ngiyinsindiso yakho.”+
4 Kwangathi bangahlazeka balulazeke labo abazingela umphefumulo wami.+Kwangathi bangabuyiselwa emuva bajabhiswe labo abaceba inhlekelele ngami.+
5 Kwangathi bangaba njengamakhoba phambi komoya,+Futhi ingelosi kaJehova mayibasunduze.+
6 Indlela yabo mayibe ngubumnyama nezindawo ezishelelayo,+Futhi ingelosi kaJehova mayibasukele.
7 Ngoba bangifihlele umgodi wabo onenetha ngaphandle kwesizathu;+Bawumbele umphefumulo wami ngaphandle kwesizathu.+
8 Makehlelwe yincithakalo engazi,+Inetha lakhe alifihlile malimbambe;+Makawele kulo kube yincithakalo.+
9 Kodwa umphefumulo wami mawujabule ngoJehova;+Mawethabe ngensindiso yakhe.+
10 Wonke amathambo ami mawathi:+“O Jehova, ngubani onjengawe,+Okhulula ohluphekile konamandla kunaye,+Ohluphekile nompofu komphangayo?”+
11 Kuvela ofakazi abanobudlova;+Bangibuza engingazange ngikwazi.+
12 Bangivuza ngokubi ngokuhle engikwenzile,+Ukulahlekelwa emphefumulweni wami.+
13 Ngokuqondene nami, lapho begula, izembatho zami kwakuyindwangu yesaka,+Ngahlupha umphefumulo wami ngokuzila ukudla,+Futhi umthandazo wami wawubuyela esifubeni sami.+
14 Ngokuqondene nomngane, ngokuqondene nomfowethu,+Ngahambahamba njengolilela unina.+Ngidabukile, ngakhothama.
15 Kodwa bajabula babuthana ndawonye ngokuxhuga kwami;+Babuthana ndawonye bamelana nami,+Bengishaya lapho ngingazi;+Bangidwengula ngaba yizicucu futhi abazange bathule.+
16 Phakathi kwezihlubuki ezihleka usulu ukuze zithole iqebelengwane+Kwakukhona ukungigedlela ngisho namazinyo azo.+
17 O Jehova, kuyoze kube nini uqhubeka ukubona?+Buyisa umphefumulo wami ekuchitheni kwabo,+Yebo okuwukuphela kwawo+ emabhongweni ezingonyama anomhlwenga.
18 Ngiyokudumisa ebandleni elikhulu;+Phakathi kwabantu abaningi ngiyokudumisa.+
19 Kwangathi bangejabule ngami labo abayizitha zami ngaphandle kwesizathu;+Abangizonda ngaphandle kwesizathu, mabangalicifi iso.+
20 Ngoba abakhulumi ukuthula;+Kodwa balokhu beceba izinto zenkohlisongabazithulele bomhlaba.+
21 Bawuvula kakhulu umlomo wabo ngokumelene nami.+Bathé: “Nakho-ke! Nakho-ke! iso lethu likubonile.”+
22 O Jehova, ubonile.+ Ungathuli.+O Jehova, ungazigcini ukude nami.+
23 Vuka uphaphamele ukwahlulelwa kwami,+O Nkulunkulu wami, yebo Jehova, uphaphamele icala lami engimangalelwe ngalo.+
24 O Jehova Nkulunkulu wami, ngahlulele ngokokulunga kwakho,+Kwangathi bangejabule ngami.+
25 Kwangathi bangesho enhliziyweni yabo ukuthi: “Nakho-ke, mphefumulo wethu!”+Kwangathi bangesho ukuthi: “Simgwinyile.”+
26 Mababe namahloni bajabhe bonke ngothi lwabo+Abajabula ngenhlekelele yami.+Mabembathiswe amahloni+ nokululazeka abaziphakamisayo kimi.+
27 Mabakhamuluke ngenjabulo bathokoze labo abajabulayo ngokulunga kwami,+Futhi njalo mabathi:+“Makadunyiswe uJehova, ojabula ngokuthula kwenceku yakhe.”+
28 Ulimi lwami malukhulume ngokulunga kwakho ngezwi eliphansi,+Usuku lonke malukhulume ngodumo lwakho.+
