Psalms 55
1 Lalela, Nkulunkulu, umkhuleko wami, ungazifihli ekunxuseni kwami.
2 Ngizwele, ungiphendule; ngiyayaluza ekukhaleni kwami, ngiyabubula
3 ngenxa yezwi lesitha, ngenxa yokucindezela komubi; ngokuba bagingqela okubi phezu kwami; bangizingela bethukuthele.
4 Inhliziyo yami iyathuthumela phakathi kwami; amavuso okufa angehlele.
5 Ngifikelwe luvalo nokuqhaqhazela; ngikhwelwe ngukwesaba okukhulu.
6 Besengithi: “Sengathi ngingaba namaphiko njengejuba; ngabe ngindizela ekudeni, ngihlale khona.”
7 Bheka, bengiyakubaleka, ngiye kude, ngingenise ehlane.
8 Ngabe ngiphuthuma indawo yokuphepha emoyeni ovunguzayo nasesiphephweni.
9 Bachithe, Nkosi, uphambanise ulimi lwabo, ngokuba ngibonile ubudlwangudlwangu nokuxabana emzini.
10 Imini nobusuku bahamba bezungeza phezu kwezingange zawo; okubi nokushinga kuphakathi kwawo.
11 Ububi buphakathi kwawo; imbandezelo nenkohliso akusuki esigcawini sawo.
12 Ngokuba akusiso isitha esingiklolodelayo; ngabe ngiyakuthwala; akusiye ongizondayo oziphakamise phezu kwami; ngabe ngamcashela;
13 kepha nguwe ntanga yami, mhlobo wami nomngane wami.
14 Sasihlalisana kamnandi; sasiya endlini kaNkulunkulu kanye nebandla elithokozayo.
15 Ukufa makubazume, bashonele endaweni yabafileyo besezwa, ngokuba ububi busezindlini zabo nasezinhliziyweni zabo.
16 Mina ngizakukhala kuNkulunkulu; uJehova uzakungisindisa.
17 Kusihlwa nasekuseni nasemini ngizakuzikhalela, ngibubule, abeselizwa izwi lami.
18 Uyawuhlenga umphefumulo wami ngokuthula, bangasondeli kimi, ngokuba baningi abamelene nami.
19 UNkulunkulu uzakuzwa, abaphendule, yena okhona kwaphakade. Yibona kambe okungekho kubo ukuphenduka, nabangamesabiyo uNkulunkulu.
20 Ubeka isandla ngakuye ohlalisene kahle naye; udumazile isivumelwano sakhe.
21 Umlomo wakhe ubushelezi kunephehlwa, kepha inhliziyo yakhe iyimpi; amazwi akhe athambile kunamafutha; nokho ayizinkemba ezikhokhiweyo.
22 Phonsa phezu kukaJehova umthwalo wakho, uzakukuphasa; akayikuvuma naphakade ukuba olungileyo azanyazanyiswe.
23 Wena Nkulunkulu uyakubaphonsa egodini lokubhubhisa; abantu begazi nenkohliso abayikufinyelela nasenxenyeni yezinsuku zabo; kepha mina ngizakwethemba wena.
