Ihubo 108
Ingoma. Ihubo likaDavida.
1 Inhliziyo yami ibambelele, kayiguquki, Oh Nkulunkulu;
ngizahlabela ngenze iculo elimnandi
ngomoya wami wonke.
2 Vuka, mhubhe lechacho!
Ngizayivusa intathakusa.
3 Ngizakudumisa, yebo Thixo, phakathi kwezizwe;
ngizahlabela ngawe phakathi kwabantu.
4 Ngoba lukhulu uthando lwakho, luphakame kulamazulu;
ukwethembeka kwakho kufinyelela emkhathini.
5 Kawuphakanyiswe, yebo Nkulunkulu, ngaphezu kwamazulu,
akuthi inkazimulo yakho ibe khona emhlabeni wonke.
6 Sisindise usisize ngesandla sakho sokunene,
ukuze kuthi laba obathandayo bakhululwe.
7 UNkulunkulu usekhulumile esendlini yakhe engcwele:
“Ngokunqoba ngizayaba iShekhemu
ngihlole leSigodi saseSukhothi.
8 Ngeyami iGiliyadi, loManase ngowami;
u-Efrayimi yisivikelo sekhanda lami,
uJuda uyintonga yami yobukhosi.
9 IMowabi ngumganu wami wokugezela,
phezu kuka-Edomi ngiphosela amanyathelo ami;
phezu kweFilistiya ngihalalisa umkhosi wokunqoba.”
10 Ngubani ozangisa emzini olenqaba na?
Ngubani ozangiholela e-Edomi na?
11 Kakusuwe na, Oh Nkulunkulu, wena osusikhalele,
ongasaphumi lathi ezimpini zethu?
12 Ake usisize ezitheni zethu,
ngoba usizo lomuntu luyize.
13 Nxa siloNkulunkulu sizanqoba,
njalo uzazinyathelela phansi izitha zethu.
