Ihubo 10
1 Kungani, Oh Thixo, umela khatshana?
Kungani uzifihla ngezikhathi zokuhlupheka?
2 Ngobuqholo bakhe umuntu omubi uzingela ababuthakathaka,
abayengeka ngamacebo awakhayo.
3 Uzikhukhumeza ngezinkanuko zenhliziyo yakhe;
ubusisa abayizihwaba athuke uThixo.
4 Ngenxa yokuzigqaja kwakhe omubi kamdingi uThixo;
kuyo yonke imicabango yakhe akulandawo kaNkulunkulu.
5 Izindlela zakhe ziyaphumelela;

aneme lapho ebona izitha zakhe.

uyabawisa ngamandla akhe.
11 Uzitshela athi, “UNkulunkulu usekhohliwe;

Oh Nkulunkulu. Ungabakhohlwa abazihluphekelayo.
13 Kungani umuntu omubi ethuka uNkulunkulu na?
Kungani na ezitshela esithi,
“Kazukungithonisisa?”
14 Kodwa wena, Oh Nkulunkulu, uyalubona uhlupho losizi;

18 ulamulele izintandane labancindezelweyo,
ukuze kuthi umuntu, ongowasemhlabeni,
