Yobhi

 2 “Ephila nje uThixo, ondivimbe ubulungisa,+

Ephila nje uSomandla, obenze nzima ubomi bam,+

 3 Ndisaphefumla nje,

Ndisenamandla obomi endiwanikwe nguThixo,+

 4 Imilebe yam ayizukuthetha zinto zingalunganga;

Nolwimi lwam aluzukuthetha nkohliso!

 6 Ndiza kuhlala ndililungisa, soze ndiyeke;+

Ndisaphila nje,* intliziyo yam soze indigwebe.

 7 Akwaba iintshaba zam zingohlwaywa njengabenzi-bubi,

Nabo bandihlaselayo bohlwaywe njengabo benza izinto ezingalunganga.

 8 Kuba liza kuba yintoni ithemba lomenzi-bubi xa etshatyalaliswa,+

Xa ebulawa nguThixo?

 9 Uza kusiva na uThixo isikhalo sakhe

Xa esehlelwa zizinto ezibuhlungu?+

11 Ndiza kunifundisa ngamandla kaThixo;*

Andizukunifihlela nto ngoSomandla.

12 Jongani! Ukuba nonke nibone imibono,

Kutheni ke nithetha izinto ezingekhoyo?

13 Nantsi ke into aza kuyenza uThixo kumenzi-bubi,+

Nelifa uSomandla aza kulinika izikhohlakali:

14 Nokuba angaba noonyana abaninzi, baza kubulawa ngekrele,+

Nenzala yakhe ayizukuba nakutya kwaneleyo.

16 Nokuba angade abe nemfumba yesilivere ngathi luthuli,

Aze abe nempahla yodidi efumbe okodongwe,

17 Nokuba angayiqokelela,

Iza kunxitywa lilungisa,+

Baze abamsulwa bahlulelane ngesilivere yakhe.

18 Indlu yakhe icekeceke njengesingxobo sombungu,

Njengekhusi+ elenziwe ngunogada.

19 Uza kulala esisityebi, kodwa obo butyebi buza kuthi shwaka,

Kube kungasekho nto xa evula amehlo.

20 Uza kufikelwa luloyiko ngathi sisikhukula,

Emke nesaqhwithi ebusuku.+

21 Uza kumka nomoya wasempuma,

Aphephetheke emke endaweni yakhe.+

22 Uza kuvuthuza ungenalusizi,+

Njengokuba ezama ukuwubaleka.+

23 Uza kumqhwabela izandla,

Umbethele umlozi+ usendaweni yawo.*
