AmaHubo

144 Makadunyiswe uJehova iDwala + lami,

Ongiqeqeshela impi,

Angifundise ukulwa. +

 2 Ungibonisa uthando oluqotho futhi uyisiphephelo sami,

Indawo yami yokuphephela* elondekile nomkhululi wami,

Ihawu lami naLowo engiphephele kuye, +

Othobisa izizwe ngaphansi kwami. +

 3 O Jehova, uyini umuntu ukuba umqaphele,

Indodana yomuntu ofayo ukuba uyinake? +

 4 Umuntu ufana nomoya nje okhishwa ngamakhala; +

Izinsuku zakhe zinjengethunzi elidlulayo. +

 5 O Jehova, thobisa* amazulu akho wehle; +

Thinta izintaba ukuze zishunqe intuthu. +

 6 Khanyisa ngombani uhlakaze izitha; +

Cibishela imicibisholo yakho uziphithizelise. +

 7 Yelula izandla zakho usendaweni ephakeme;

Ngikhulule ungisindise ezikhukhuleni,

Esandleni sabezinye* izizwe, +

 8 Abakhuluma amanga ngemilomo yabo

Nabaphakamisa isandla sabo sokudla ukuze bafunge amanga.*

Ngizokuhubela,* ngikudlalele insimbi yomculo enezintambo eziyishumi,

10 Wena osiza amakhosi ukuba anqobe, *+

Okhulula inceku yakhe uDavide enkembeni ebulalayo. +

11 Ngikhulule ungisindise esandleni sabezinye izizwe,

Abakhuluma amanga ngemilomo yabo

Nabaphakamisa isandla sabo sokudla ukuze bafunge amanga.

12 Khona-ke amadodana ethu azoba njengezithombo zezitshalo ezikhula ngokushesha,

Amadodakazi ethu abe njengezinsika ezihlobise emakhoneni asesigodlweni.

13 Izinqolobane zethu ziyogcwala imikhiqizo enhlobonhlobo;

Imihlambi yethu iyokwanda ngokuphindwe ngezinkulungwane, ngamashumi ezinkulungwane.

14 Izinkomo zethu ezimithi ngeke zehlelwe yingozi noma ziphunze;*

Ngeke kukhalwe ngenxa yokucindezeleka ezigcawini zethu.
