AmaHubo 5

Kumqondisi wokuhlabela. Kwabemifece. Ihubo likaDavida.

1Zwana amazwi ami, Oh Thixo,

hawukela ukububula kwami.

2Lalela ukukhala kwami ngidinga uncedo,

Nkosi yami loNkulunkulu wami,

ngoba ngikhuleka kuwe.

3Ekuseni, Oh Thixo, uyalizwa ilizwi lami;

ekuseni ngibeka izicelo zami phambi kwakho

ngilinde ngithembile.

4Kawusuye uNkulunkulu othokoza ngobubi;

ababi ngeke bahlale lawe.

5Iziqholo ngeke zime

phambi kwakho;

uyabazonda bonke abenza okubi.

6Uyababhubhisa labo abaqamba amanga;

abomele igazi labakhohlisayo

uThixo uyabenyanya.

7Kodwa mina, ngomusa wakho omkhulu,

ngizangena endlini yakho;

ngizakhothamela phansi ngokuhlonipha

ngikhangele ethempelini lakho elingcwele.

8Ngikhokhele, Oh Thixo, ngokulunga kwakho;

ngenxa yezitha zami

yenza iqonde indlela yakho phambi kwami.

9Kalikho lalinye ilizwi lomlomo wabo elithembekileyo;

inhliziyo yabo igcwele ukubhidliza.

Umphimbo wabo ulingcwaba elikhamisileyo;

ngolimi lwabo bakhuluma inkohliso.

10Tshono uthi balecala, Oh Nkulunkulu!

Akuthi amacebo abo abe yikuwa kwabo.

Baxotshele khatshana ngenxa yezono zabo ezinengi,

ngoba bakuhlamukele wena.

11Kodwa akuthi bonke abaphephela kuwe bathokoze;

kabahlabelele njalonjalo ngenjabulo.

Basibekele ngovikelo lwakho,

kuthi labo abalithandayo ibizo lakho bajabule ngawe.

12Ngoba ngempela, Oh Thixo,

uyababusisa abalungileyo;

uyabazungeza ngomusa wakho njengesihlangu.
