AmaHubo 12

Kumqondisi wokuhlabela. Ngendlela yesheminithi. Ihubo likaDavida.

1Siza Thixo, ngoba kabasekho abakholwayo;

abathembekileyo sebenyamalele kabasekho ebantwini.

2Bonke baqamba amanga kubomakhelwane babo;

izindebe zabo eziyengayo

zihlezi zikhuluma inkohliso esezinhliziyweni zabo.

3Sengathi uThixo angaziquma zonke izindebe ezikhohlisayo

kanye laluphi ulimi oluzikhukhumezayo

4oluthi, “Sizanqoba ngendimi zethu;

izindebe zethu zizasilwela

ngubani oyinkosi yethu na?”

5“Ngenxa yokuncindezelwa kwabayanga lokububula kwabaswelayo,

sengizavuka khathesi,” kutsho uThixo.

“Ngizabavikela kulabo ababachukuluzayo.”

6Njalo amazwi kaThixo amsulwa,

njengesiliva esicengwe esithandweni somlilo esebumba,

njengegolide elihlanjululwe kasikhombisa.

7Oh Thixo, uzahlala usiphephisile

njalo usivikele ebantwini ababi nini lanini.

8Ababi bayaklamasa santando

nxa bebona izinto ezilihlazo zidunyiswa ngabantu.
