IHubo
Ihubo likaDavida, elokukhumbuza.
38 Awu Jehova, ungangikhuzi ngolaka,
Ungangiqondisi uzondile,+
2 Ngoba imitshoko yakho ingigwaze yatshona,
Isandla sakho singifithizele.+
3 Umzimba wami wonke ubuhlungu ngenxa yentukuthelo yakho.
Angilakuthula ngaphakathi kwami* ngenxa yesono sami.+
4 Sengicwile phakathi kwezono zami,+
Zinjengomthwalo osindayo, angisenelisi ukuzithwala.
5 Izilonda zami zinuka phu futhi ziphihlika ubomvu
Ngenxa yobuthutha bami.
6 Ngikhathazekile futhi ngidane kakhulu,
Ngitshona ngidanile ilanga lonke.
7 Ngiyatsha ngaphakathi,
Umzimba wami wonke ubuhlungu.+
8 Sengimdambiyana futhi ngicobekile,
Ubuhlungu obusenhliziyweni yami benza ngibubule ngikhale.
9 Awu Jehova, uyakwazi konke engikufisayo,
Loba nini nxa ngibubula uyangizwa.
10 Inhliziyo yami itshaya kakhulu, angiselamandla.
11 Abangane bami labantu ebengibajayele sebengibalekela ngenxa yokuhlupheka kwami,
Abangane bami abaseduze sebemela khatshana.
12 Labo abazingela impilo yami bayangithiya.
Abazama ukungilimaza bakhuluma ngokungibulala,+
Bayanyenyezelana ilanga lonke bebumba amacebo okungiqila.
13 Kodwa mina angizange ngibalalele, ngenze angathi ngiyisacuthe,+
Angizange ngiwuvule umlomo wami, kwaba angathi ngiyisimungulu.+
14 Senginjengomuntu ongezwayo endlebeni,
Ongeke atsho lutho ngomlomo wakhe ezivikela.
16 Ngathi: “Kabangathokozi ngokuwa kwami,
Kabangazikhukhumezi nxa ngingatshelela.”
17 Kwasekusele kancane ukuthi ngiwe,
Ngasengihlala ngisizwa ubuhlungu.+
19 Kodwa izitha zami ziqinile futhi zilamandla,
Sebebanengi abangizonda kungelasizatho.
20 Ngabenzela okuhle kodwa bona bangibuyisela ngokubi,
Babengiphikisa ngenxa yokuthi ngenza okuhle.
21 Ungangilahli Jehova,
Awu Nkulunkulu, ungaqhubeki ukhatshana lami.+
22 Woza masinyane uzonginceda,
Awu Jehova msindisi wami.+
