IiNdumiso

Bekani indlebe, nonke bemi bomhlaba,*

 2 Nina bancinci nani bakhulu,*

Nina zityebi nani mahlwempu.

 3 Umlomo wam uza kuthetha izinto zobulumko,

Neengcinga zentliziyo yam+ ziza kuba zezokuqonda.

 4 Ndiza kumamelisisa xa kuthethwa ngemizekeliso;

Ndiza kuzichaza izafobe zam ngohadi.

 5 Kutheni ndifanele ndoyike ngamaxesha obubi,+

Xa ndingqongwe yinkohlakalo yabo* bafuna ukundibhukuqa?

 6 Abo bathembele ngobutyebi babo+

Nabaqhayisa ngobutyebi babo obuninzi,+

 7 Akukho namnye kubo onokumkhulula umntakwabo

Okanye onokumhlawulela kuThixo,+

 8 (Ixabiso lokuhlawulela ubomi babo lixhome

Kangangokuba abanakuze balifikelele);

 9 Ukuze aphile ngonaphakade angaliboni ingcwaba.+

10 Uyabona ukuba kwanezilumko ziyafa;

Izidenge nabangasebenzisi ngqondo baza kutshabalala kunye,+

Babushiyele abanye ubutyebi babo.+

11 Banqwenela ukuba izindlu zabo zihlale ngonaphakade,

Nokuba iintente zabo zihlale ukusuka kwesinye isizukulwana ukuya kwesinye.

12 Kodwa umntu, nangona ehlonitshwa, akazukuhlala ephila;+

Akakho ngcono kunamarhamncwa atshabalalayo.+

13 Leyo ke yindlela yabo bazizidenge+

Nabo babalandelayo, abawathandayo amazwi abo angancedi nganto. (Selah)

Ukufa kuza kubalusa;

Amalungisa aza kubalawula+ kwakusasa.

Baza kutshabalala kungasali nomkhondo lo wabo;+

Ikhaya labo liza kuba lingcwaba,*+ alizukuba yindlu kakumkani.+

15 Kodwa mna, uThixo uza kundikhulula emandleni* engcwaba,*+

Kuba uza kunditsala andikhuphe. (Selah)

16 Sukoyika xa ubona umntu esiba sisityebi,

Xa uzuko lwendlu yakhe lusanda,

17 Kuba xa esifa akukho nto anokuhamba nayo;+

Uzuko lwakhe aluzukuhamba naye.+

20 Umntu ongayiqondiyo le nto, nangona ehlonitshwa,+

Akakho ngcono kunamarhamncwa atshabalalayo.
