Ihubo 91
1 Lowo ohlala ekusithekeni koPhezukonke
uzaphumula emthunzini kaSomandla.
2 Ngizakuthi kuThixo, “Uyisiphephelo sami lenqaba yami,
uNkulunkulu wami, engithemba kuye.”
3 Ngempela uzakuphephisa
emjibileni womthiyi
lasesifeni esibi esibulalayo.
4 Uzakusibekela ngezinsiba zakhe,
uzuze isiphephelo ngaphansi kwamaphiko akhe;
ukuthembeka kwakhe kuzakuba yisihlangu sakho lenqaba yakho.
5 Awuyikwesaba umnyama wobusuku,
loba umtshoko ontweza emini,
6 kumbe ingozi ehahabela emnyameni,
kumbe umkhuhlane obhubhisayo emini enkulu.
7 Abazinkulungwane bangawa eceleni lakho;
itshumi lezinkulungwane esandleni sakho sokunene,
kodwa kakusoze kusondele kuwe.
8 Uzaphosa nje amehlo akho
ubukele ubone ukujeziswa kwababi.
9 Ungenza oPhezukonke abe likhaya lakho
yena uThixo oyisiphephelo sami
10 lapho-ke akulangozi engakuwela,
akulamonakalo ozasondela ethenteni lakho.
11 Ngoba uzayala izingilosi zakhe ngawe
zikulinde kuzozonke izindlela zakho;
12 zizakuphakamisa ezandleni zazo,
ukuze ungakhubeki elitsheni.
13 Uzanyathela isilwane lephimpi;
uzasigxoba isilwane esikhulu lenyoka.
14 “Ngoba uyangithanda,” kutsho uThixo, “ngizamkhulula;
ngizamvikela, ngoba uyalinaka ibizo lami.
15 Uzangibiza, ngimphendule;
ngizakuba laye ekuhluphekeni,
ngizamkhulula ngimenzele udumo.
16 Ngizamsuthisa ngempilo ende
ngimtshengise insindiso yami.”
