Ihubo 41
Kumqondisi wokuhlabela. Ihubo likaDavida.
1 Ubusisiwe lowo onanza abahluphekayo;
uThixo uyamkhulula ngezikhathi zokuhlupheka.
2 UThixo uzamvikela alondoloze impilo yakhe;
uzambusisa phakathi kwelizwe
akasoze amnikele emandleni ezitha zakhe.
3 UThixo uzamqinisa lanxa elele egula
njalo amsilise avuke ekuguleni kwakhe.
4 Ngathi, “Oh Thixo ake ungihawukele;
ngisilisa, ngoba ngonile kuwe.”
5 Izitha zami ziyangigcona zithi,
“Uzakufa nini licitshe ibizo lakhe?”
6 Nxa omunye wabo efika ezongibona,
ukhuluma kuhle angikhohlise,
kodwa enhliziyweni yakhe egaya izibozi;
athi angaphuma ahambe esekhihliza ebantwini.
7 Bonke abangizondayo banyenyezelana ngami;
bangicabangela wonke amanyala besithi,
8 “Usengenwe ngumkhuhlane omubi;
kasoze asile avuke futhi.”
9 Lomngane wami osekhwapheni,
ebengimthembile,
lowo obesidla lami isinkwa
usengihlamukele.
10 Kodwa wena, Oh Thixo ake ungihawukele;
ake ungivuse ukuze ngibakhawulise.
11 Ngiyazi ukuthi uyathokoza ngami,
ngoba isitha sami kasingehluli.
12 Ubuqotho bami busekelwa nguwe
njalo ungimisa phambi kwakho nini lanini.
13 Udumo alube kuye uThixo, uNkulunkulu ka-Israyeli,
kusukela nininini kuze kube nininini.
