Ishigayoni kaDavida ayihlabelela uThixo mayelana loKhushi umBhenjamini.

1Oh Thixo Nkulunkulu wami,

ngiphephela kuwe;

ngisindisa ungikhulule kubo bonke abangizingelayo,

2ngoba bazanginithiza njengesilwane

bangiklebule iziqanyana kungekho ongangilamulela.

3Oh Thixo, Nkulunkulu wami, nxa ngikwenzile lokhu

izandla zami zilecala,

4nxa ngenze okubi kulowo ohlalisene kuhle lami

loba ngisuke ngaphanga isitha sami kungelasizatho,

5nxa kunjalo akuthi isitha sami singihlasele;

masigxobagxobele impilo yami emhlabathini

singibhuqabhuqele phansi ebhuqwini.

6Vuka, Oh Thixo, ngolaka lwakho;

vuka uvimbele ukuthukuthela kwezitha zami.

Vuka, Nkulunkulu wami,

memezela ukwahlulela okuhle.

7Akuthi abantu bebuthene bakuhanqe

busa phezu kwabo usekuphakameni.

8UThixo kahlulele bonke abantu.

Ngahlulele, Oh Thixo ngokwanele ukulunga kwami,

ngokwanele ubuqotho bami, wena oPhezukonke.

9Oh Nkulunkulu olungileyo,

ohlolisisa imicabango lezinhliziyo,

qeda udlakela lwababi

ukuze abalungileyo bavikeleke.

10Isihlangu sami nguNkulunkulu oPhezukonke,

osindisa abaqotho ngenhliziyo.

11UNkulunkulu ngumahluleli olungileyo,

uNkulunkulu obonisa ulaka lwakhe insuku zonke.

12Nxa umuntu engadeli ububi bakhe

uzalola inkemba yakhe;

uzaligoba alithiye idandili lakhe.

13Usezilungisile izikhali zakhe ezibulalayo;

uselungisa imitshoko yakhe evutha umlilo.

14Lowo osuthiswe ngobubi

akhulelwe yikona uzala ukuphumputheka.

15Lowo omba umgodi awuphande

uwela kulowomgodi awumbileyo.

16Inkathazo ayidalileyo iyamphendukela;

lesihluku sakhe sehlela phezu kwekhanda lakhe.

17Ngizambonga uThixo ngenxa yokulunga kwakhe;

ngizahlabelela indumiso egameni likaThixo oPhezukonke.
