Imaskili.* Elika-Ethani + umEzra.
89 Ngizohlabelela ngezenzo zikaJehova zothando oluqotho kuze kube phakade.
Ngomlomo wami ngizoxoxela zonke izizukulwane ngokuthembeka kwakho.
2 Ngoba ngithe: “Uthando oluqotho luyohlala* kuze kube phakade, +
Ukumise kwaqina ukuthembeka kwakho emazulwini.”
4 ‘Inzalo* yakho ngiyoyimisa iqine + kuze kube phakade,
Ngiyosiqinisa isihlalo sakho sobukhosi kuzo zonke izizukulwane.’ ” + (Sela)
5 O Jehova, amazulu ayazidumisa izenzo zakho ezimangalisayo,
Yebo, ukwethembeka kwakho ebandleni labangcwele.
6 Ngoba ubani esibhakabhakeni ongaqhathaniswa noJehova? +
Ubani ofana noJehova phakathi kwamadodana kaNkulunkulu? +
7 UNkulunkulu uyesabeka emhlanganweni wabangcwele; +
Mkhulu futhi uyesabeka kubo bonke abamzungezile. +
Uthembeke kuzo zonke izinto. +
10 Umnqobe ngokuphelele uRahabi *+ wambulala. +
Ngamandla akho* uzihlakazile izitha zakho. +
14 Ukulunga nobulungisa kuyisisekelo sesihlalo sakho sobukhosi; +
Uthando oluqotho nokuthembeka kuphambi kwakho. +
15 Bayajabula abantu abakwaziyo ukumemeza ngenjabulo. +
O Jehova, baqhubeka behamba nawe, bathola umusa wakho.
16 Usuku lonke bajabula ngegama lakho,
Bayaphakanyiswa ngokulunga kwakho.
19 Ngaleso sikhathi wakhuluma ngombono kwabaqotho bakho, wathi:
24 Ukwethembeka kwami nothando lwami oluqotho kukanye naye, +
Amandla akhe ayokwanda* ngenxa yegama lami.
28 Ngiyombonisa uthando lwami oluqotho kuze kube phakade, +
Nesivumelwano sami naye asisoze sanqamuka. +
30 Uma amadodana akhe eshiya umthetho wami
Engahambi ngezahlulelo zami,*
31 Uma ephula imithetho yami
Engayigcini imiyalo yami,
32 Khona-ke ngiyowajezisa ngenduku ngenxa yokungalaleli* kwawo +
Nangemivimbo ngenxa yesiphambeko sawo.
36 Inzalo* yakhe iyohlala kuze kube phakade; +
Isihlalo sakhe sobukhosi siyohlala njengelanga phambi kwami. +
37 Siyomiswa siqine njengenyanga kuze kube phakade
Njengofakazi othembekile esibhakabhakeni.” (Sela)
39 Usichithile isivumelwano osenze nenceku yakho;
Ungcolise umqhele wayo ngokuwujikijela emhlabathini.
43 Wenze ukuba inkemba yayo ingasebenzi,
Awuyivumelanga ukuba inqobe empini.
44 Ubuqedile ubukhazikhazi bayo
Isihlalo sayo sobukhosi wasijikijela phansi emhlabathini.
45 Uzinciphisile izinsuku zobusha bayo;
Uyembathise ngamahloni. (Sela)
46 O Jehova, kuyoze kube nini uzifihlile? Kuyoze kube phakade? +
Ingabe ulaka lwakho luzolokhu luvutha njengomlilo?
47 Khumbula ukuthi kufushane kangakanani ukuphila kwami! +
Ingabe bonke abantu wabadala ngaphandle kwesizathu?
48 Yimuphi umuntu ongaphila angafi? +
Angakwazi yini ukuzisindisa* emandleni eThuna?* (Sela)
49 O Jehova, ziphi izenzo zakho zangaphambili zothando oluqotho,
Owafunga ngazo kuDavide ngokuthembeka kwakho? +
