AmaHubo 102

Umkhuleko womuntu okhathazekileyo. Lapho esephela umoya eseqhinqa isililo phambi kukaThixo.

1Zwana umkhuleko wami, Oh Thixo;

ukukhala kwami ngicela uncedo kakufike kuwe.

2Ungangifihleli ubuso bakho

nxa ngikhathazekile.

Ngipha indlebe yakho;

nxa ngibiza ngiphendula masinyane.

3Ngoba insuku zami ziyanyamalala njengentuthu;

amathambo ami ayavutha njengamalahle abhebhayo.

4Inhliziyo yami yonakele, ibunile njengotshani;

ngiyakhohlwa ukudla kwami.

5Ngenxa yokububula kwami okukhulu sengiphelile,

isikhumba sesinamathela emathanjeni.

6Sengifana lesikhova senkangala,

njengesikhova semanxiweni.

7Ngilala ngikhangele;

senginjengenyoni ehlezi yodwa ephahleni.

8Ilanga lonke izitha zami ziyangichukuluza;

labo abangichothozayo badlala ngebizo lami njengesethuko.

9Ngoba ngidla umlotha njengokudla kwami,

ngixube okunathwayo kwami ngezinyembezi

10ngenxa yokuthukuthela kwakho okukhulu,

ngoba ungiqukule wangilahlela eceleni.

11Insuku zami zifana lesithunzi sakusihlwa;

ngiyabuna njengotshani.

12Kodwa wena, Oh Thixo, uhlezi ebukhosini lanininini;

udumo lwakho lumi ezizukulwaneni zonke.

13Uzaphakama uzwele iZiyoni isihawu,

ngoba sekuyisikhathi sokutshengisa umusa kuyo,

isikhathi esimisiweyo sesifikile.

14Ngoba amatshe ayo aligugu ezincekwini zakho;

othuli lwayo nje lubalethela usizi.

15Izizwe zizalesaba ibizo likaThixo,

wonke amakhosi omhlaba azahlonipha inkazimulo yakhe.

16Ngoba uThixo uzayakha kutsha iZiyoni

avele enkazimulweni yakhe.

17Uzaphendula imikhuleko yabahluphekayo;

kazukweyisa isicelo sabo.

18Lokhu kakulotshwe phansi kube ngokwesizukulwane sakusasa,

ukuze abantu abangakadalwa bamdumise uThixo :

19“UThixo wakhangela phansi ephezulu endlini yakhe engcwele,

esezulwini wawuhlola umhlaba,

20ukuze ezwe ukububula kwezibotshwa

lokukhulula labo ababegwetshelwe ukufa.”

21Ngalokho-ke ibizo likaThixo lizamenyezelwa eZiyoni

lodumo lwakhe eJerusalema,

22lapha izizwe lemibuso

sekuhlangana ndawonye ukukhonza uThixo.

23Wawanciphisa amandla ami ngisaphila;

waziphungula insuku zami.

24Yikho ngasengisithi,

“Ungangithathi, Oh Nkulunkulu wami,

ngilokhu ngisephakathi kwensuku zami;

iminyaka yakho ihlala ikhona ezizukulwaneni zonke.

25Ekuqaleni wabeka izisekelo zomhlaba,

lamazulu angumsebenzi wezandla zakho.

26Konke kuzabhubha, kodwa wena uzasala;

konke kuzaguga njengesigqoko.

Njengesivunulo uzakuguqula

kucine sekulahlwa.

27Kodwa wena uhlala unjalo,

leminyaka yakho kayiyikuphela.

28Abantwana bezinceku zakho bazahlala besemehlweni akho;

izizukulwane zazo zizaqiniswa phambi kwakho.”
