Ihubo 52
Kumqondisi wokuhlabela. Ihubo likaDavida. Lapho uDoyegi umʼEdomi wayeye kuSawuli wamtshela wathi, “UDavida uye wayangena endlini ka-Ahimeleki.”
1 Kungani uncoma ngobubi, wena somandlase?
Kungani utshona untela ilanga lonke,
wena olihlazo emehlweni kaNkulunkulu?
2 Ulimi lwakho luceba incithakalo;
lunjengensingo eloliweyo,
wena owenza inkohliso.
3 Uthanda ububi kulobuhle,
amanga kulokukhuluma iqiniso.
4 Uyawathanda wonke amanga alimazayo,
wena limi olukhohlisayo!
5 Ngeqiniso uNkulunkulu uzakwehlisela ukubhubha okungapheliyo:
Uzakuhlwitha akukhuphe ethenteni lakho;
uzakuquphula akususe elizweni labaphilayo.
6 Abalungileyo bazabona besabe;
bazamhleka bathi,
7 “Nangu-ke manje umuntu
lo ongenzanga uNkulunkulu inqaba yakhe
kodwa wathemba inotho yakhe enkulu
wakhula waba lamandla ngokuwisa abanye!”
8 Kodwa mina nginjengesihlahla se-oliva
esikhula endlini kaNkulunkulu;
ngithembe uthando lukaNkulunkulu
olungaphuthiyo nini lanini.
9 Ngizakudumisa lanini ngalokho okwenzileyo;
ngizathemba ebizweni lakho,
ngoba lihle ibizo lakho.
