Ihubo 52
Kumqondisi wokuhlabela. Ihubo likaDavida. Lapho uDoyegi umʼEdomi wayeye kuSawuli wamtshela wathi, “UDavida uye wayangena endlini ka-Ahimeleki.”
Kungani uncoma ngobubi, wena somandlase?
Kungani utshona untela ilanga lonke,
wena olihlazo emehlweni kaNkulunkulu?
Ulimi lwakho luceba incithakalo;
lunjengensingo eloliweyo,
wena owenza inkohliso.
Uthanda ububi kulobuhle,
amanga kulokukhuluma iqiniso.
Uyawathanda wonke amanga alimazayo,
wena limi olukhohlisayo!
 
Ngeqiniso uNkulunkulu uzakwehlisela ukubhubha okungapheliyo:
Uzakuhlwitha akukhuphe ethenteni lakho;
uzakuquphula akususe elizweni labaphilayo.
Abalungileyo bazabona besabe;
bazamhleka bathi,
“Nangu-ke manje umuntu
lo ongenzanga uNkulunkulu inqaba yakhe
kodwa wathemba inotho yakhe enkulu
wakhula waba lamandla ngokuwisa abanye!”
 
Kodwa mina nginjengesihlahla se-oliva
esikhula endlini kaNkulunkulu;
ngithembe uthando lukaNkulunkulu
olungaphuthiyo nini lanini.
Ngizakudumisa lanini ngalokho okwenzileyo;
ngizathemba ebizweni lakho,
ngoba lihle ibizo lakho.
Ngizakudumisa phambi kwabangcwele bakho.
