116 Ndiyathanda, ngenxa yokuba uYehova uyaliva+
Ilizwi lam, izibongozo zam.+
2 Kuba uyithobele kum indlebe yakhe,+
Ndiya kubiza yonke imihla yam.+
3 Iintsontelo zokufa zandirhawula+
Neemeko ezibandezelayo zeShiyol zandifumana.+
Ndaqhubeka ndifikelwa kukubandezeleka nentlungu.+
4 Kodwa ndabiza egameni likaYehova, ndathi:+
“Awu, Yehova, sindisa umphefumlo wam!”+
5 UYehova unobabalo yaye ulilungisa;+
NoThixo wethu nguLowo wenza inceba.+
6 UYehova uyabalinda abo bangenamava.+
Ndandihlwempuzekile, kwaye wandisindisa mna lo.+
7 Buyela endaweni yakho yokuphumla, mphefumlo wam,+
Kuba uYehova wenze ngokufanelekileyo kuwe.+
8 Kuba uwuhlangule umphefumlo wam ekufeni,+
Iliso lam ezinyembezini, unyawo lwam ekukhubekeni.+
9 Ndiza kuhamba+ phambi koYehova emazweni abo baphilayo.+
10 Ndandinokholo,+ kuba ndathetha.+
Mna ndandixhwaleke kakhulu.
11 Ndathi ke mna, ekuphakuzeleni kwam:+
“Wonke umntu ulixoki.”+
12 Ndiya kumbuyekeza ngantoni na uYehova+
Ngalo lonke uncedo lwakhe kum?+
13 Ndiya kuthabatha indebe yosindiso olukhulu,+
Ndiya kubiza egameni likaYehova.+
14 Ndiya kuzifezekisa izibhambathiso zam kuYehova,+
Ewe, phambi kwabo bonke abantu bakhe.
15 Kuxabisekile emehlweni kaYehova
Ukufa kwabanyanisekileyo bakhe.+
16 Awu, ke ngoku, Yehova,+
Kuba ndingumkhonzi wakho.+
Ndingumkhonzi wakho, unyana wekhobokazana lakho.+
Uzikhulule izibopho zam.+
17 Ndiya kunikela kuwe imibingelelo yokubulela,+
Yaye ndiya kubiza egameni likaYehova.+
18 Ndiya kuzifezekisa izibhambathiso zam kuYehova,+
Ewe, phambi kwabo bonke abantu bakhe,+
19 Ezintendelezweni zendlu kaYehova,+
Phakathi kwakho, Yerusalem.+
Dumisani uYa!+
