91 1Lowo ohlala esikhoselweni soPhezukonke uyakuphumula emthunzini kaSomandla.
2Ngiyakuthi ngoBaba wami: “Uyisiphephelo sami nenqaba yami, uBaba wami, engimethembayo.”
3Ngempela uyakukukhulula ogibeni lomzingeli nasesifweni esibulalayo. 4Uyakukumboza ngezimpaphe zakhe, ngaphansi kwamaphiko akhe uyakuphephela; ukwethembeka kwakhe kuyihawu lakho nenqaba yakho. 5Awuyikwesaba ingebhe yobusuku, noma umcibisholo ondizayo emini, 6noma isifo esinyonyobayo ebumnyameni, noma umshayabhuqe obhubhisayo emini enkulu. 7Kungawa abayinkulungwane eceleni kwakho, abayizinkulungwane eziyishumi ngakwesokunene sakho, kodwa lokho ngeke kusondele kuwe. 8Uyakubuka nje ubone isijeziso sababi.
9Ngokuba wenze uBaba wami waba yisiphephelo sakho—oPhezukonke waba yindawo yakho yokuhlala, 10akukho okubi okuyakwehlela, akukho sifo esiyakusondela etendeni lakho. 11Ngokuba uyakuyala izingelosi zakhe maqondana nawe, ukuba zikulondoloze ezindleleni zakho zonke. a a v11 Lapho umlingi emlinga uJesu ehlane, wacaphuna leli vesi uqobo lwalo — ephendukezela isithembiso sokuvikela kukaBaba, esenza sibe yinselele. UJesu, iNdodana yeqiniso, wamethemba uYise engamvivinyi. 12Ziyakukuphakamisa ngezandla zazo, ukuze ungakhubi unyawo lwakho etsheni. 13Uyakunyathela ibhubesi nemfezi; uyakugxoba ibhongo lebhubesi nenyoka ngaphansi kwezinyawo.
14“Ngenxa yokuthi unamathele kimi ngothando, ngiyakumkhulula; ngiyakumbeka phezulu, ngokuba uyalazi igama lami. 15Uyakubiza kimi, ngimphendule; ngiyakuba naye osizini; ngiyakumkhulula ngimhloniphe. 16Ngiyakumsuthisa ngokuphila okude, ngimbonise insindiso yami.”
