Ngivikele Kwabanodlame
Kumqondisi wokuhlabelela. Ihubo likaDavide.
Umthandazo ngonya oluhleliwe: amadoda anobuthi bebululu ngaphansi kwezindebe zawo, avusa izimpi nsuku zonke futhi abeka izingibe eceleni kwendlela. UDavide ucela uBaba wakhe ukuba amvikele ngosuku lwempi, futhi uyethemba ukuthi abahluphekayo bayozwiwa udaba lwabo.
140 1Ngikhulule, Baba wami, kubantu ababi; ungigcine ngiphephile kwabanodlame, 2abaceba okubi ezinhliziyweni zabo, bevusa izimpi imini yonke. 3Balola izilimi zabo njengenyoka; ubuthi bamabululu bungaphansi kwezindebe zabo.
4Ngilinde, Baba wami, ezandleni zababi; ungigcine ngiphephile kwabanodlame, abahlela ukungikhubekisa. 5Abazidlayo bangifihlele ugibe; bendlale izintambo zenetha; eceleni kwendlela bangibekele izicupho.
6Ngathi kuBaba wami: “Wena unguBaba wami.” Yizwa izwi lokunxusa kwami umusa. 7Baba oyiNkosi, amandla ensindiso yami, uvikele ikhanda lami ngosuku lwempi. 8Unganiki, Baba wami, izifiso zababi; ungalivumeli icebo labo liphumelele, hleze baziphakamise.
9Mayelana namakhanda alabo abangizungezayo, inhlupheko yezindebe zabo mayibamboze. 10Amalahle avuthayo mawawele phezu kwabo; mabaphonswe emlilweni, emigodini enodaka, bangabe besavuka. 11Onyundelayo makangasimami ezweni; ububi mabuzingele umuntu onodlame, umshayo ngomshayo.
12Ngiyazi ukuthi uBaba wethu uyakulisekela icala labahluphekayo, alethe ubulungiswa kwabaswele. 13Ngempela abalungileyo bayakulibonga igama lakho; abaqotho bayakuhlala phambi kwakho.
