AmaHubo 108

Ingoma. Ihubo likaDavida.

1Inhliziyo yami ibambelele, kayiguquki, Oh Nkulunkulu;

ngizahlabela ngenze iculo elimnandi

ngomoya wami wonke.

2Vuka, mhubhe lechacho!

Ngizayivusa intathakusa.

3Ngizakudumisa, yebo Thixo, phakathi kwezizwe;

ngizahlabela ngawe phakathi kwabantu.

4Ngoba lukhulu uthando lwakho, luphakame kulamazulu;

ukwethembeka kwakho kufinyelela emkhathini.

5Kawuphakanyiswe, yebo Nkulunkulu, ngaphezu kwamazulu,

akuthi inkazimulo yakho ibe khona emhlabeni wonke.

6Sisindise usisize ngesandla sakho sokunene,

ukuze kuthi laba obathandayo bakhululwe.

7UNkulunkulu usekhulumile esendlini yakhe engcwele:

“Ngokunqoba ngizayaba iShekhemu

ngihlole leSigodi saseSukhothi.

8Ngeyami iGiliyadi, loManase ngowami;

u-Efrayimi yisivikelo sekhanda lami,

uJuda uyintonga yami yobukhosi.

9IMowabi ngumganu wami wokugezela,

phezu kuka-Edomi ngiphosela amanyathelo ami;

phezu kweFilistiya ngihalalisa umkhosi wokunqoba.”

10Ngubani ozangisa emzini olenqaba na?

Ngubani ozangiholela e-Edomi na?

11Kakusuwe na, Oh Nkulunkulu, wena osusikhalele,

ongasaphumi lathi ezimpini zethu?

12Ake usisize ezitheni zethu,

ngoba usizo lomuntu luyize.

13Nxa siloNkulunkulu sizanqoba,

njalo uzazinyathelela phansi izitha zethu.
