Amahubo 64

1 Kumqondisi wokuhlabela. Ihubo likaDavida. Ake ungizwe, Oh Nkulunkulu, nxa ngiletha ukusola kwami; vikela impilo yami ekusongelweni yisitha.

2 Ngifihla emacebeni abantu ababi, kulokho kuxokozela kwezixhwali.

3 Bayazilola inlimi zabo njengezinkemba bakhombele amazwi abo njengemitshoko ebulalayo.

4 Batshoka becathemele umuntu ongonanga lutho; bayaphanga ukumciba bengelavalo.

5 Bayakhuthazana ngamacebo amabi, bakhulumisana ngokufihla imijibila yabo; bathi, “Sizabonwa ngubani?”

6 Baceba ukona besithi, “Sesakhe icebo elihle kakhulu!” Ngempela ingqondo yomuntu lenhliziyo yakhe ilobuqili.

7 Kodwa uNkulunkulu uzabaciba ngemitshoko; ngokuphangisa nje bazalahlwa phansi.

8 Uzakwenza banyeyane bona bodwa bacine sebedilizana; bonke abababonayo bazanyikinya amakhanda babahleke.

9 Bonke abantu bomhlaba bazakwesaba; bazafakaza imisebenzi kaNkulunkulu banakane ngalokho akwenzileyo.

10 Akuthi abalungileyo bathokoze kuThixo baphephele kuye; akuthi bonke abaqotho ngenhliziyo bamdumise.
