Psalms 42
1 Njengendluzele ilangazelela amanzi emifula, kanjalo umphefumulo wami ulangazelela Wena Nkulunkulu.
2 Umphefumulo wami womele uNkulunkulu, uNkulunkulu ophilayo, ngiyakufika nini ngibonakale phambi kukaNkulunkulu na?
3 Izinyembezi zami zingukudla kwami imini nobusuku, ngokuba usuku lonke bathi kimi: “Uphi uNkulunkulu wakho na?”
4 Ngiyakukhumbula lokhu, ngithulule umphefumulo wami phakathi kwami, njengalokhu ngangihamba esixukwini ngiya naso endlini kaNkulunkulu ngenhlokomo yokwethaba nokubonga, ibandla ligubha umkhosi.
5 Mphefumulo wami, kungani udangele, uyaluza ngaphakathi kimi na? Themba uNkulunkulu, ngokuba ngisazomdumisa ngokusindisa kobukhona bakhe.
6 Nkulunkulu wami, umphefumulo wami udangele ngaphakathi kimi; ngizokukhumbula eJordani naseHermoni nasentabeni iMizari.
7 Lapho kuhlokoma izimpophoma zakho, utwa luyenanelana, wonke amadlambi namaza akho, kudlange kwangaphezu kwami.
8 Emini uSimakade uyaleza umusa wakhe, ebusuku isihlabelelo sakhe sikimi, ngikhuleke kuNkulunkulu wokuphila kwami.
9 Ngizakuthi kuNkulunkulu, iDwala lami: “Ungikhohlweleni na? Ngihambelani ngilila, ngicindezelwe yisitha na?”
10 Kunjengokuphohlozwa kwamathambo ami, nxa izitha zami zingiklolodela, zithi kimi usuku lonke: “Uphi uNkulunkulu wakho na?”
11 Mphefumulo wami, kungani udangele, uyaluza ngaphakathi kwami na? Themba uNkulunkulu, ngokuba ngisazomdumisa ngokusindisa kobukhona bakhe.
