1 Umthandazo kaDavide. Thoba indlebe yakho, Yehova, ndiphendule, Ngokuba ndilusizana, ndilihlwempu.
2 Wugcine umphefumlo wam, ngokuba ndingowenceba; Msindise, wena Thixo wam, umkhonzi wakho, Lo ukholose ngawe.
3 Ndibabale, Nkosi yam, Ngokuba ndidanduluka kuwe yonke imini.
4 Wuvuyise umphefumlo womkhonzi wakho, Ngokuba umphefumlo wam ndiwuphakamisela kuwe, Nkosi yam;
5 Ngokuba ulungile wena, Nkosi yam, uxolela; Umkhulu ngenceba kubo bonke abakunqulayo.
6 Wubekele indlebe umthandazo wam, Yehova, Ulibazele indlebe izwi lokutarhuzisa kwam.
7 Ngemini yokubandezelwa kwam ndinqula wena, Ngokuba uya kundiphendula.
8 Akukho unjengawe, Nkosi yam, phakathi koothixo; Akukho zenzo zinjengezakho.
9 Zonke iintlanga owazenzayo ziya kuza ziqubude phambi kwakho, Nkosi yam, Zizukise igama lakho.
10 Ngokuba umkhulu, wenza imisebenzi ebalulekileyo, UnguThixo wena wedwa.
11 Ndiyalele, Yehova, indlela yakho, Ndihambe ngenyaniso yakho; Yibandakanye intliziyo yam ukuba ndiloyike igama lakho.
12 Ndiya kubulela kuwe, Nkosi yam, Thixo wam, ngentliziyo yonke, Ndilizukise igama lakho ngonaphakade:
13 Ngokuba inceba yakho ibe inkulu kum; Wawuhlangula umphefumlo wam kwelingaphantsi labafileyo.
14 Thixo, abakhukhumali basukele phezulu kum; Ibandla labanobungqwangangqwili lifuna umphefumlo wam; Abakumisi wena phambi kwabo.
15 Ke wena, Nkosi yam, unguThixo onemfesane, onobabalo, Ozeka kade umsindo, omkhulu ngenceba nenyaniso.
16 Ndibheke, undibabale; Mphe amandla akho umkhonzi wakho, Umsindise unyana womkhonzazana wakho.
17 Ndenzele umqondiso wokulungileyo, Bawubone abandithiyayo, badane, Kuba wena, Yehova, undincedile, wandithuthuzela.
