Indumiso kaDavida ngenhliziyo yonke
ElikaDavida.
UDavide ubonga uBaba wakhe ngokumphendula ngosuku akhala ngalo nangokumenza abe nesibindi. Okuqashelwayo phakathi nendawo kuwukukhetha: nakuba ephakeme, ubheka abaphansi, abazidlayo abagcine kude. Uyakuqedela akuqalayo ekuphileni komuntu.
138 1Ngiyakukudumisa ngayo yonke inhliziyo yami; phambi konkulunkulu ngiyakuhlabelela indumiso yakho. 2Ngiyakukhothama ngibheke ethempelini lakho elingcwele, ngibonge egameni lakho ngenxa yothando lwakho lwesivumelwano nokuthembeka kwakho, ngokuba uliphakamisile izwi lakho ngaphezu kwegama lakho lonke. 3Ngosuku engakhala ngalo, wangiphendula; wanginika isibindi, namandla emphefumulweni wami.
4Onke amakhosi omhlaba ayakukudumisa, Baba wami, ngokuba ezwile amazwi omlomo wakho. 5Ayakuhlabelela ngezindlela zikaBaba wethu, ngokuba inkazimulo kaBaba wethu inkulu. 6Noma uBaba wethu ephakeme, uyababheka abathobekileyo, kodwa uyabazi abazidlayo besekude.
7Noma ngihamba phakathi kwenhlupheko, uyayilondoloza impilo yami; uyelula isandla sakho ngokumelene nolaka lwezitha zami, nesandla sakho sokunene siyangisindisa. 8UBaba wethu uyakuyifeza injongo yakhe ngami; uthando lwakho lwesivumelwano, Baba wami, luhlala kuze kube phakade. Ungawushiyi umsebenzi wezandla zakho.
