Ukukhala kukaDavide Ebumnyameni
Kumqondisi womculo; ngezinsimbi zezintambo, ngesheminiti. Ihubo likaDavide.
UDavide uyagula futhi uthuthumela ngokwesaba, ukhathele ngokumanzisa umbhede wakhe ngezinyembezi ubusuku bonke, futhi ubuza ukuthi kuze kube nini. Uphikisa ngokuthi abafileyo abakwazi ukudumisa. Bese umthandazo uphenduka: uBaba wakhe ukuzwile ukukhala kwakhe, futhi uyazixosha izitha zakhe.
6 1Baba wami, ungangikhuzi entukuthelweni yakho, noma ungangijezisi olakeni lwakho. 2Ngibe nomusa, Baba wami, ngokuba ngibuthakathaka; ngelaphe, Baba wami, ngokuba amathambo ami ayathuthumela ngovalo.
3Umphefumulo wami uyathuthumela ngovalo. Kodwa wena, Baba wami—koze kube nini? 4Phenduka kimi, Baba wami; hlenga ukuphila kwami. Ngisindise ngenxa yothando lwakho lwesivumelwano.
5Ngokuba ekufeni akukho ukukhunjulwa kwakho; ethuneni, ngubani oyakukudumisa?
6Ngikhathele ngenxa yokububula kwami. Ubusuku bonke ngigcwalisa umbhede wami ngezinyembezi; ngiwumanzisa ngokukhala kwami.
7Amehlo ami asefiphele ngenxa yosizi; aphelelwa amandla ngenxa yezitha zami zonke. 8Sukani kimi, nina nonke enenza okubi, ngokuba uBaba wami uzwile umsindo wokukhala kwami. 9UBaba wami uzwile ukunxusa kwami umusa; uBaba wami uyawamukela umkhuleko wami. 10Zonke izitha zami ziyakujabha zithuthumele ngovalo; ziyakubuyela emuva zijabhiswe masinyane.
