IiNdumiso

55 Owu Thixo, wumamele umthandazo wam,+

Sukundifulathela xa ndikucela ukuba undenzele inceba.*+

Andizinzanga ngenxa yeenkathazo,+

Yaye ndibindekile

 3 Ngenxa yezinto ezithethwa lutshaba lwam

Nokucinezelwa ngumenzi-bubi.

Kuba bafumba inkxwaleko phezu kwam,

Yaye ngomsindo bandifukamela inzondo.+

 4 Intliziyo yam ibuhlungu ngeyona ndlela,+

Yaye ndiyangcungcutheka ngenxa yokoyika ukufa.+

 5 Nditsho ndangcangcazela kukoyika,

Nokunkwantya kuyandirhwaqelisa.

 8 Bendiza kubaleka ndiye kwindawo ekhuselekileyo,

Kude nesivuthuvuthu somoya, nesaqhwithi esibhudlayo.”

 9 Owu yhini Yehova, benze babhideke, liphanzise icebo labo,*+

Kuba ndibone ubundlobongela neengxwabangxwaba esixekweni.

10 Imini nobusuku bajikeleza iindonga zaso;

Kugcwele nje ukunyemba nenkathazo kuso.+

11 Sigcwele intlekele;

Kwindawo yaso kawonke-wonke abantu bahlala becinezelwa yaye beqhathwa.+

12 Kaloku, ayilotshaba olundinxwalayo;+

Kuba lona bendinokulunyamezela.

Ayilotshaba olundijikeleyo;

Kuba lona bendinokuluzimela.

13 Kodwa nguwe, umntu ofana nam,*+

Umhlobo wam endimazi kakuhle.+

14 Sasikade singabahlobo abasenyongweni;

Sasikade sihamba sonke siligquba ukuya endlini kaThixo.

Mazingene engcwabeni* ziphila;

Kuba zisoloko ziceba ukwenza izinto ezimbi.

16 Mna ke, ndiza kukhalela kuThixo,

Yaye uYehova uza kundisindisa.+

17 Ngokuhlwa, kusasa nasemini ndibhuqwa ziintlungu,*+

Ibe uyaliva ilizwi lam.+

18 Uza kundisindisa* aze andiphumze kwabo balwa nam,

Kuba baninzi abo bandihlaselayo.+

19 UThixo uza kuva aze abaphendule,+

Lowo wayehleli etroneni ukususela kudala.+ (Selah)

Abazukufuna ukuguquka,

Abo bangakhange bamoyike uThixo.+

20 Usuke* wahlasela abo bebeseluxolweni naye;+

Wasaphula isivumelwano asenzileyo.+

21 Amazwi aphuma emlonyeni wakhe atyibilika ngaphezu kwebhotolo,+

Kodwa intliziyo yakhe igcwele ingxabano.

Amazwi akhe athambe ngaphezu kweoli,

Kodwa angamakrele arholiweyo.+

22 Wuphosele kuYehova umthwalo wakho,+

Yena uza kukuxhasa.+
