Amahubo 141

1 Ihubo likaDavida Oh Thixo, ngiyakubiza; woza masinyane kimi. Zwana ilizwi lami nxa ngikubiza.

2 Sengathi umkhuleko wami ungema phambi kwakho njengempepha; kuthi ukuphakama kwezandla zami kube njengomhlatshelo wakusihlwa.

3 Ngibekela umlindi womlomo wami, Oh Thixo, qaphela umnyango wezindebe zami.

4 Ungayekeli inhliziyo yami ihugwe ngokubi, ngingene ezenzweni ezimbi labantu abayizigangi; mangingadli izibiliboco zabo.

5 Ake ngitshaywe ngumuntu olungileyo, kungumusa; kake angikhuze, kungamafutha ekhanda lami. Ikhanda lami kaliyikukwala. Ikanti umkhuleko wami uhlezi umelana lezenzo zezigangi.

6 Ababusi bazo bazaphoselwa phansi emaweni, lababi bazafunda ukuthi amazwi ami ayekhulunywe kuhle.

7 Bazakuthi, “Njengalowo olimayo eqeqebula umhlabathi, kanjalo amathambo ethu achithiziwe emlonyeni weliba.” (Sheol h7585)

8 Kodwa amehlo ami agxile kuwe, Oh Thixo woBukhosi; kuwe ngiyaphephela unganginikeli ekufeni.

9 Ngivikela emijibileni asebeyithiyele mina, ezifini ezithiywe yizigangi.

10 Akuthi ababi bawele emambuleni abo, mina ngidlule kuhle ngiphephile.
