1 Umhobe kaDavide. Yehova, yiva umthandazo wam, kubekele indlebe ukutarhuzisa kwam; Ndiphendule ngokunyaniseka kwakho, ngobulungisa bakho.
2 Musa ukumsa ematyaleni umkhonzi wakho: Ngokuba phambi kwakho akukho namnye uhleliyo olilungisa.
3 Ngokuba utshaba luwusukele umphefumlo wam, Lubutyumzele emhlabeni ubomi bam; Lundihlalise ezindaweni ezimnyama, njengabafe ngonaphakade.
4 Utyhafile phakathi kwam umoya wam; Imangalisiwe phakathi kwam intliziyo yam.
5 Ndikhumbula imihla yamandulo; Ndicamngca ngemisebenzi yakho yonke, Ndicamngca ngesenzo sezandla zakho.
6 Ndizolulela kuwe izandla zam, Umphefumlo wam ukungxamele njengelizwe elibharhileyo. (Phakamisani.)
7 Khawuleza undiphendule, Yehova; uyaphela umoya wam. Musa ukubusithelisa kum ubuso bakho, Ndifane nabahla baye emhadini.
8 Ndivise kwakusasa inceba yakho, Ngokuba ndikholose ngawe. Ndazise indlela endiya kuhamba ngayo: Ngokuba ndiwuphakamisela kuwe umphefumlo wam.
9 Ndihlangule ezintshabeni zam, Yehova. Ndizimela ngawe.
10 Ndifundise ukwenza ikholo lakho, ngokuba unguThixo wam. UMoya wakho olungileyo makandikhaphele ezweni elisithabazi.
11 Ngenxa yegama lakho, Yehova, ndiphilise; Wukhuphe embandezelweni umphefumlo wam ngobulungisa bakho.
12 Ngenceba yakho zibhangise iintshaba zam, Ubatshabalalise bonke abawubandezelayo umphefumlo wam, Ngokuba ndingumkhonzi wakho.
