IiNdumiso

38 Owu Yehova, ungandiluleki ucaphukile,

Undilungise unomsindo.+

 2 Kuba iintolo zakho zingene zatshona kum,

Nesandla sakho sindicinezele kabuhlungu.+

 4 Kuba ndintyumpa-ntyumpeka ezonweni zam;+

Zindisinda okomthwalo onzima.

 5 Izilonda zam zinuka phu, ziyachiza

Ngenxa yobudenge bam.

 6 Ndineentlungu neenzingo;

Imini yonke ndihamba-hamba ndibuhlungu.

 7 Ndiyapena-pena ziintlungu;*

Umzimba wam wonke uyagula.+

 8 Ndisuke ndandindisholo, ndatyumka ngokupheleleyo;

Ndiyagcuma* ngenxa yentliziyo ebuhlungu.

 9 Owu Yehova, uzazi zonke izinto endizifunayo,

Uyakuva konke ukuncwina kwam.

10 Ndinovalo, ndiphelelwe ngamandla,

Namehlo am abona luzizi.+

11 Abahlobo bam bahambela kude kum ngenxa yesibetho sam,

Nabo ndibaqhelileyo bahambela kude.

12 Abo bazingela ubomi bam bandibekele imigibe;

Abo bafuna ukundenzakalisa bandenzela amayelenqe;+

Bathetha ubuxoki imini yonke.

13 Kodwa zange ndibamamele, oku komntu ongevayo;+

Ndaba ngathi andikwazi kuthetha, andawuvula umlomo wam.+

14 Ndaba njengomntu ongevayo,

Andakhupha nelimdaka ukuze ndizithethelele.

15 Kuba ndandilindele kuwe, Yehova,+

Ibe wandiphendula, Yehova Thixo wam.+

16 Kuba ndathi: “Mabangaze baqhayise ngam

Okanye bahlekise ngam xa unyawo lwam lutyibilika.”

17 Kuba kwakusele kancinci ukuba ndiwe,

Ibe ndandityiwa ziintlungu.+

18 Ndasivuma isiphoso sam;+

Ndakhathazeka ngenxa yesono sam.+

19 Kodwa iintshaba zam zizigantsontso* ezinamandla,*

Baninzi nabo bandicaphukela ndingabenzanga nto.

20 Izinto ezilungileyo endazenzayo bazibuyekeza ngezimbi;

Bazama ukundiyekisa ukwenza izinto ezilungileyo.

22 Khawuleza uzokundinceda,

Owu Yehova, wena undisindisayo.+
