Kumalathisi weNehiloti. Uncuthu lwengoma kaDavide.
5 Wabekele indlebe amazwi am,+ Yehova;
Kuqonde ukuncwina kwam.
2 Nikela ingqalelo kwisandi sokukhalela kwam uncedo,+
Kumkani wam+ noThixo wam, ngenxa yokuba ndithandaza kuwe.+
3 Owu Yehova, kusasa uya kuliva ilizwi lam;+
Kusasa ndiya kubhekisa kuwe ndize ndilinde.+
4 Kuba akungoThixo oyoliswayo bubungendawo;+
Akukho namnye onobubi onokuhlala nexeshana nawe.+
5 Akukho mqhayisi unokuma phambi kwamehlo akho.+
Ubathiyile bonke abo baqhelisela okwenzakalisayo;+
6 Uya kubatshabalalisa abo bathetha ubuxoki.+
Umntu ophalaza igazi+ nonenkohliso+ uYehova uyamcekisa.
7 Ke mna, ngobubele bakho obunothando obuninzi+
Ndiya kungena endlwini yakho,+
Ndiya kuqubuda etempileni yakho engcwele ngenxa yokoyika wena.+
8 Owu Yehova, ndikhokele ngobulungisa bakho+ ngenxa yeentshaba zam;+
Yenze igude indlela yakho phambi kwam.+
9 Kuba emlonyeni wabo akukho nto kunokukholoswa ngayo;+
Umbilini wabo yinkxwaleko ngokwenene.+
Umqala wabo yindawo yokungcwaba evulekileyo;+
Basebenzisa ulwimi olugudileyo.+
10 UThixo uya kubagqala njengabanetyala ngokuqinisekileyo;+
Baya kuwa ngenxa yecebo labo.+
Ngobuninzi bokunxaxha kwabo mabasasazwe,+
Ngenxa yokuba bakuvukele.+
11 Kodwa bonke abo basabela kuwe baya kuba nemihlali;+
Baya kumemelela ngovuyo kuse kwixesha elingenammiselo.+
Uya kuyithintela indlela esondela kubo,
Yaye abo bathanda igama lakho baya kugcoba ngawe.+
12 Kuba uya kumsikelela nabani na olilungisa,+ Yehova;
Ngokungathi kungekhaka elikhulu,+ uya kubangqonga ngenkoliseko.+
