AmaHubo 16

Imikithamu kaDavida.

1Ngilondoloza, Oh Nkulunkulu,

ngoba ngiphephela kuwe.

2Ngathi kuThixo, “UnguThixo wami;

ngaphandle kwakho angilakho okuhle.”

3Labo abangcwele abakhona elizweni

bangabakhazimulayo engithokoza ngabo.

4Labo abagijimela abanye onkulunkulu inhlupho zabo zizakwanda.

Angiyi kuyithulula iminikelo yegazi kubonkulunkulu labo

njalo amabizo abo kawayikuphuma kwezami izindebe.

5Thixo, usungahlukanisele isabelo sami kanye lenkezo yami;

konke okwami usukumise kuhle.

6Imingcele yesabelo sami idabula ezindaweni ezibukekayo;

ngeqiniso elami ilifa liyathokozisa.

7Ngizamdumisa uThixo, onguye ongelulekayo;

lasebusuku inhliziyo yami iyangiqondisa.

8Ngikhangele kuThixo kokuphela.

Njengoba esesandleni sami sokunene angiyi kunyikinywa.

9Ngakho-ke inhliziyo yami iyathokoza lolimi lwami luyajabula;

lomzimba wami uzaphumula uvikelekile,

10ngoba kawuzukungiyekela ngize ngiye endaweni yabafileyo,

njalo kawusoze wekele othembekileyo wakho ezwe ukubola.

11Usungazisile indlela yempilo;

uzangigcwalisa ngokuthaba phambi kwakho,

ngenjabulo engapheliyo kwesokunene sakho.
