1Ngisindise, Nkulunkulu, ngokuba amanzi afikile emphefumulweni.
2Ngishone odakeni lobishi olujulileyo, kungekho kuma; ngingene emanzini alutwa; imisinga iyangicwilisa.
3Ngikhathele ukukhala kwami, umphimbo wami ushile; amehlo ami ayafiphala ekulindeleni uNkulunkulu wami.
4Abangizonda ngeze baningi kunezinwele zekhanda lami; baningi abafuna ukungiqeda beyizitha zami kungekho sici; nengingakuphanganga ngakubuyisela.
5Nkulunkulu, wena uyabazi ubuwula bami, nezono zami azifihlakele kuwe.
6Mabangajabhiswa ngami abakulindeleyo, Nkosi Jehova Sebawoti; mabangahlazeki ngami abakufunayo, Nkulunkulu ka-Israyeli.
7Ngokuba ngithwele isihlamba ngenxa yakho; ihlazo lisibekela ubuso bami.
8Sengaba ngumfokazi kubafowethu, nowezizwe kubantwana bakamame.
9Ngokuba ukushisekela indlu yakho kungidlile; izithuko zabakuthukayo zingehlele.
10Ngakhala, umphefumulo wami wazila; kwaba ngukudunyazwa kwami.
11Isaka ngalenza isambatho sami; ngaba yisaga kubo.
12Abahlezi esangweni bakhuluma ngami; izidakwa ziyangihaya.
13Kodwa mina, umkhuleko wami ukuwe Jehova esikhathini sokuzwelwa, Nkulunkulu; ngenxa yomusa wakho omkhulu ngiphendule eqinisweni lensindiso yakho.
14Ngikhiphe odakeni, mangingashoni; mangisindiswe kubo abangizondayo, nasemanzini alutwa.
15Isikhukhula samanzi masingangicwilisi, utwa lungangigwinyi, umgodi ungangivaleli emlonyeni wawo.
16Ngiphendule, Jehova, ngokuba umusa wakho ulungile; uphendukele kimi ngokobubele bakho obukhulu.
17Ungayifihleli inceku yakho ubuso bakho, ngokuba ngiyahlupheka; shesha ungiphendule.
18Sondela kuwo umphefumulo wami, uwuhlenge, ngikhulule ngenxa yezitha zami.
19Wena uyakwazi ukuthukwa kwami, namahloni ami nokudunyazwa kwami; zonke izitha zami ziphambi kwakho.
20Ukuthukwa kuyaphulile inhliziyo yami, ngigula kakhulu; bengibheka ukuhawukelwa, kepha akwabakho, nabaduduzayo, kepha angibatholanga.
21Banginika inyongo ibe ngukudla kwami; ekomeni kwami bangiphuzisa uviniga.
22Itafula labo malibe yisihibe phambi kwabo, libe lugibe kwabahlezi bezithulele.
23Amehlo abo mawafiphale, ukuze bangaboni; izinkalo zabo zintengezele njalo.
24Thela phezu kwabo ukunengwa kwakho; intukuthelo yakho evuthayo mayibafice.
25Umuzi wabo mawuchitheke; makungabikho ohlala ematendeni abo.
26Ngokuba oshaywe nguwe bayamzingela, baxoxa ngobuhlungu bezinkubela zakho.
27Yengezela ukona ekoneni kwabo; mabangezi ekulungeni kwakho.
28Mabesulwe encwadini yabaphilayo, bangalotshwa kanye nabalungileyo.
29Mina kodwa ngihluphekile, ngibuhlungu; insindiso yakho, Nkulunkulu mayingilondoloze.
30Ngiyakulibonga ngehubo igama likaNkulunkulu, ngimphakamise ngokubonga.
31Kuyakuthandeka kuJehova kunenkomo, kunenkunzi enezimpondo nezinselo.
32Kuyakuthi abayizivi bekubona, bajabule; nina enifuna uNkulunkulu, inhliziyo yenu mayiphile.
33Ngokuba uJehova uyabalalela abampofu, neziboshwa zakhe akazideleli.
34Uyakubongwa yizulu nomhlaba, yizilwandle nakho konke okuphila kuzo.
35Ngokuba uNkulunkulu uzakulisindisa iSiyoni, akhe imizi yakwaJuda; bazakuhlala khona, ibe yifa labo.
36Inzalo yezinceku zakhe iyakulidla ifa; abathanda igama lakhe bayakuhlala kuyo.
