1Bengilindela uJehova; wayesezikhothamisela kimi, wezwa ukukhala kwami.
2Wangikhipha emgodini wokubhujiswa odakeni lobishi, wamisa izinyawo zami edwaleni, waqinisa izinyathelo zami.
3Wabeka igama elisha emlonyeni wami, igama lokubonga uNkulunkulu wethu; abaningi bayakukubona, besabe, bamethembe uJehova.
4Ubusisiwe umuntu obeka ithemba lakhe kuJehova, ongaphendukeli kwabazidlayo nakwabaphambukela emangeni.
5Jehova Nkulunkulu wami, ziningi izimangaliso zakho ozenzileyo, nezizindlo zakho ngathi; akukho okungafaniswa nawe; uma ngiyilanda, ngiyisho, miningi kunokuba ibalwe.
6Umhlatshelo nomnikelo wokudla awuwuthandi; izindlebe zami uzibhobozile; umnikelo wokushiswa nomnikelo wesono awuwubizi.
7Ngase ngithi: “Bheka, ngiyeza; encwadini esongwayo kulotshiwe ngami ukuthi:
8Ngiyathanda ukwenza intando yakho, Nkulunkulu wami, nomthetho wakho usenhliziyweni yami.”
9Ngishumayelile ukulunga ebandleni elikhulu; bheka, angizivalanga izindebe zami; Jehova, wena uyakwazi.
10Ukulunga kwakho angikuthukusanga enhliziyweni yami; ngashumayela ukukholeka kwakho nensindiso yakho; umusa wakho neqiniso lakho angikufihlelanga ibandla elikhulu.
11Wena Jehova ungangigodleli ububele bakho; umusa wakho neqiniso lakho makungilonde njalo.
12Ngokuba izinhlupheko ezingenakubalwa zingihaqile, iziphambeko zami zingificile, angaze ngaba nakubona; ziningi kunezinwele zekhanda lami; inhliziyo yami ingishiyile.
13Makuthandeke kuwe Jehova ukuba ungikhulule; Jehova, mawuphuthume ungisize.
14Mabajabhe, babe namahloni bonke abafuna umphefumulo wami ukuba bawuhlwithe; abafisa ukulimala kwami mababuyiselwe emuva, bajabhiswe.
15Mabashaqeke ngenxa yehlazo labo abathi kimi: “Ashila, ashila!”
16Mabethabe, bajabule kuwe bonke abakufunayo; abathanda insindiso yakho mabasho njalo, bathi: “Makadunyiswe uJehova.”
17Noma ngihlupheka, ngimpofu, iNkosi iyanginaka; wena ungumsizi wami noMsindisi wami; Nkulunkulu wami, mawungalibali.
