Amahubo 102

1 Nkosi, zwana umkhuleko wami, lokukhala kwami kakuze kuwe.

2 Ungangifihleli ubuso bakho osukwini lohlupho lwami; beka indlebe yakho kimi; mhla ngibiza ungiphendule masinyane.

3 Ngoba insuku zami ziyanyamalala njengentuthu, lamathambo ami ayatsha njengeziko.

4 Inhliziyo yami itshayiwe, yabuna njengotshani, ngaze ngakhohlwa ukudla isinkwa sami.

5 Ngenxa yelizwi lokububula kwami amathambo ami anamathela esikhumbeni sami.

6 Ngifanana lewunkwe yenkangala, senginjengesikhova sezindawo ezidilikileyo.

7 Ngiyalinda, senginjengenyoni ehlezi yodwa ephahleni.

8 Izitha zami ziyangithuka usuku lonke; abangihlanyelayo bafunga ngami.

9 Ngoba ngidle umlotha njengesinkwa, ngixubanise okunathwayo kwami lezinyembezi,

10 ngenxa yentukuthelo yakho lolaka lwakho; ngoba ungiphakamisile, wasungilahla phansi.

11 Insuku zami zinjengesithunzi eselulekayo, njalo mina ngiyabuna njengotshani.

12 Kodwa wena, Nkosi, uzahlala kuze kube nininini, lesikhumbuzo sakho kusizukulwana lesizukulwana.

13 Wena uzavuka uhawukele iZiyoni; ngoba isikhathi sokuyitshengisa umusa, yebo, isikhathi esimisiweyo sesifikile.

14 Ngoba inceku zakho ziyawathanda amatshe ayo, zilesihawu ethulini lwayo.

15 Khona izizwe zizalesaba ibizo leNkosi, lamakhosi wonke omhlaba udumo lwayo.

16 Lapho iNkosi izayakha iZiyoni, izabonakala enkazimulweni yayo.

17 Izaphendukela emkhulekweni wongelalutho, kayiyikudelela umthandazo wabo.

18 Lokhu kuzabhalelwa isizukulwana esilandelayo, labantu abazadalwa bazadumisa iNkosi.

19 Ngoba yakhangela phansi isekuphakameni kwendawo yayo engcwele; iNkosi isemazulwini yakhangela emhlabeni,

20 ukuzwa ukububula kwesibotshwa, ukukhulula abamiselwa ukufa;

21 ukulandisa ibizo leNkosi eZiyoni, lendumiso yayo eJerusalema,

22 lapho izizwe zibuthana ndawonye, lemibuso, ukuyikhonza iNkosi.

23 Yathoba amandla ami endleleni, yafinyeza insuku zami.

24 Ngathi: Nkulunkulu wami, ungangisusi phakathi kwensuku zami, iminyaka yakho isesizukulwaneni lezizukulwana.

25 Endulo wawusekela umhlaba, lamazulu angumsebenzi wezandla zakho.

26 Lokho kuzabhubha, kodwa wena uzakuma. Kuzaguga-ke konke njengesembatho, njengesigqoko uzakuguqula, njalo kuzaguqulwa.

27 Kodwa wena unguwe njalo, leminyaka yakho kayipheli.

28 Abantwana benceku zakho bazahlala, lenzalo yazo izaqiniswa phambi kwakho.
