AmaHubo

55 O Nkulunkulu, lalela umthandazo wami, +

Ungasizibi isicelo sami sokuboniswa isihe. *+

Ukukhathazeka kwami kungenza ngingahlaliseki, +

Ngicindezelekile

 3 Ngenxa yalokho okushiwo yisitha Nangenxa yokucindezelwa omubi.

 4 Inhliziyo yami ibuhlungu, +

Ngiyesaba ukuthi ngingase ngife. +

 5 Ngifikelwa ukwesaba nokuthuthumela,

Ngiyaqhaqhazela.

 8 Bengiyoshesha ngiye endaweni yokukhosela

Kude nomoya onamandla, kude nesiphepho.”

 9 O Jehova, baphithanise ubhuntshise amacebo abo, *+

Ngoba ngibone udlame nezingxabano edolobheni.

10 Imini nobusuku bayalizungeza behamba phezu kwezindonga zalo;

Ngaphakathi kulo kukhona ukulimaza nezinkathazo. +

11 Ngaphakathi kulo kukhona ukucekela phansi;

Ukucindezela nokukhohlisa akulokothi kusuke esigcawini salo. +

12 Ngoba akusona isitha esingiklolodelayo; +

Ukube bekunjalo bengiyosibekezelela.

Akusona isitha esingivukele;

Ukube bekunjalo bengiyosicashela.

13 Kodwa nguwe, muntu ofana nami, *+

Mngani wami engimazi kahle. +

14 Sasingabangani abakhulu;

Sasivame ukuhamba nesixuku siye endlini kaNkulunkulu.

Mazehlele eThuneni* ziphila;

Ngoba kukhona ububi ezindaweni ezihlala kuzo nasezinhliziyweni zazo.

16 Kepha mina, ngiyombiza uNkulunkulu,

UJehova uyongisindisa. +

17 Kusihlwa nasekuseni nasemini ngikhathazekile futhi ngiyabubula, +

Uyalizwa izwi lami. +

18 Uyonginika ukuthula angikhulule kulabo abalwa nami,

Ngoba baningi abangihlaselayo. +

19 UNkulunkulu uyozwa abaphendule, +

Lowo ohlezi esihlalweni sobukhosi kusukela kudala. + (Sela)

Bayokwenqaba ukuphenduka,

Labo abangamesabi uNkulunkulu. +

20 Umngani wami* uhlasele abangani bakhe; +

Usiphulile isivumelwano sakhe. +

21 Amazwi akhe abushelelezi kunebhotela, +

Kodwa inhliziyo yakhe ithanda izingxabano.

Amazwi akhe amnandi,*

Kodwa anjengezinkemba ezibukhali. +

22 Phonsa umthwalo wakho kuJehova, +

Yena uyokusekela. +
