Ihubo 103
ElikaDavida.
1 Dumisa uThixo, Oh mphefumulo wami;
konke okuphakathi kwami,
kakudumise ibizo lakhe elingcwele.
2 Dumisa uThixo, Oh mphefumulo wami,
ungaze wakhohlwa konke okuhle okuthola kuye
3 othethelelayo zonke izono zakho
akusilise kuzozonke izifo zakho,
4 ohlenga impilo yakho egodini
akwethese uthando lesihawu,
5 osuthisa izifiso zakho ngezinto ezinhle
ukuze ubutsha bakho buvuselelwe njengengqungqulu.
6 UThixo ubenzela ukulunga
lokwahlulela okuhle labo abancindezelweyo.
7 Izindlela zakhe wazazisa uMosi,
izenzo zakhe wazazisa abantu bako-Israyeli;
8 uThixo ulesihawu njalo ulomusa,
uyaphuza ukuthukuthela, kodwa uyanda ngothando.
9 Kahlali ebeka imilandu
futhi kagcini ulaka lwakhe kokuphela;
10 kasiphathi ngokufanele izono zethu
kumbe asijezise ngokulingene iziphambeko zethu.
11 Ngoba njengokuphakama komkhathi ngaphezu komhlaba,
lukhulu kangako uthando lwakhe kulabo abamesabayo;
12 njengobukhatshana bempumalanga kuyo intshonalanga
kanjalo ususile iziphambeko zethu kithi.
13 Ngendlela ubaba elozwelo ebantwaneni bakhe,
kanjalo uThixo ulozwelo kulabo abamesabayo;
14 ngoba uyakwazi ukuthi sibunjwe njani,
uyakhumbula ukuthi siluthuli.
15 Umuntu yena insuku zakhe zinjengotshani,
ukhula amemetheke njengembali yeganga;
16 umoya uyayiphephetha ihle inyamalale,
indawo yakhe ingabe isayikhumbula lanini.
17 Kodwa kusukela phakade kusiya phakade
uthando lukaThixo lukulabo abamesabayo,
lokulunga Kwakhe ebantwaneni babantwana
18 kulabo abagcina isivumelwano Sakhe
njalo bakhumbule ukulalela izimiso zakhe.
19 UThixo usemisile isihlalo sakhe sobukhosi ezulwini,
njalo ubukhosi bakhe buphezu kwakho konke.
20 Dumisani uThixo, lina zingilosi,
lina zinceku zakhe elenza intando yakhe,
elilalela ilizwi lakhe.
21 Dumisani uThixo, lonke mabutho akhe asezulwini,
lina zinceku zakhe elenza intando yakhe.
22 Dumisani uThixo, imisebenzi yakhe yonke
ezindaweni zonke embusweni wakhe.
Dumisa uThixo, Oh mphefumulo wami.
