Ingoma emnandi kaDavide.
143 Owu Yehova, wuve umthandazo wam;+
Kumamele ukukhalela kwam uncedo.
Ndiphendule ngokuthembeka nangobulungisa bakho.
2 Ungammangaleli umkhonzi wakho,
Kuba akukho mntu uphilayo unokuba lilungisa phambi kwakho.+
3 Kuba utshaba luyandileqa;
Lubunyathelele phantsi ubomi bam.
Lundenze ndahlala ebumnyameni okwabantu abafa kudala.
4 Umoya wam uphantsi;+
Intliziyo yam indindisholo.+
5 Ndikhumbula imihla yakudala;
Ndicingisisa ngayo yonke imisebenzi yakho;+
Ndicingisisa ngomsebenzi wezandla zakho.
6 Ndizolulela kuwe izandla zam;
Ndifana nelizwe elomileyo elikunxanelweyo.+ (Selah)
7 Khawuleza undiphendule Yehova.+
Ndiphelelwe ngamandla.+
Sukundifihlela ubuso bakho,+
Okanye ndiza kufana nabo behla baye emngxunyeni.+
8 Kusasa mandive ngothando lwakho olungagungqiyo,
Kuba ndithembele ngawe.
Ndazise indlela endimele ndihambe ngayo,+
Kuba ndikhalela kuwe.
9 Ndisindise kwiintshaba zam Yehova.
Ndibalekela kuwe.+
10 Ndifundise ukwenza ukuthanda kwakho,+
Kuba unguThixo wam.
Umoya wakho ulungile;
Mawundikhokelele kumhlaba othe tyaba.
11 Ndigcine ndiphila Yehova, ngenxa yegama lakho.
Ndisindise ezinkathazweni, ngenxa yobulungisa bakho.+
12 Zitshabalalise iintshaba zam, ngenxa yothando lwakho olungagungqiyo;+
Batshabalalise bonke abo bandiphethe kakubi,+
Kuba ndingumkhonzi wakho.+
