IHubo 107:1-43
107 Bongani uJehova ngoba muhle,+Uthando lwakhe oluqotho luhlala kuze kube nini lanini.+
2 Kwangathi labo abasindiswe* nguJehova bangatsho njalo,Bonke abakhulule esandleni sesitha,+
3 Abaqoqe ezizweni ababekuzo,+Kusukela empumalanga kusiya entshonalanga,Kusukela enyakatho kusiya eningizimu.+
4 Babezulazula enkangala endaweni elugwadule,Abazange bathole indlela eya edolobheni ababengahlala kulo.
5 Babelambile futhi bomile,Bengaselamandla ngenxa yokudinwa.
6 Baqhubeka bekhala kuJehova ngesikhathi besebunzimeni,+Yena wabakhulula ekuhluphekeni.+
7 Wabahambisa ngendlela efaneleyo,+Ukuze bayefika edolobheni ababengahlala kulo.+
8 Abantu kabambonge uJehova+ ngenxa yothando lwakhe oluqotho,Kabambonge ngemisebenzi yakhe emangalisayo ayenzele abantu,+
9 Ngoba unike owomileyo amanzi okunatha,Wanika olambileyo ukudla okumnandi.+
10 Abanye babephila emnyameni omkhulu,Beyizibotshwa ezihluphekayo, bebotshwe ngamaketane,
11 Ngoba abazange balilalele ilizwi likaNkulunkulu,Badelela iseluleko soPhezukonke.+
12 Ngakho wabenza bathobeka ngokubalethela inhlupho,+Bakhubeka, baswela lomuntu ongabasiza.
13 Bambiza uJehova besebunzimeni bacela uncedo,Wabakhulula ekuhluphekeni.
14 Wabakhipha emnyameni omkhulu,Waqamula amaketane ababebotshwe ngawo.+
15 Abantu kabambonge uJehova ngenxa yothando lwakhe oluqotho,+Kabambonge ngemisebenzi yakhe emangalisayo ayenzele abantu,
16 Ngoba wephule iminyango yekhopha,Waqamula imigoqo yensimbi.+
17 Ngenxa yeziphambeko zabo lezono zabo,+Babeyiziphukuphuku njalo behlupheka.+
18 Inhliziyo zaba mnyama behluleka ukudla,*Basebesondele emagedini okufa.
19 Babembiza uJehova nxa besebunzimeni, bemcela ukuthi abancede,Yena abesebakhulula ekuhluphekeni.
20 Wayethumela ilizwi lakhe abasilise,+Abakhiphe emagodini ababewele kuwo.
21 Abantu kabambonge uJehova ngenxa yothando lwakhe oluqotho,Kabambonge ngemisebenzi yakhe emangalisayo ayenzele abantu.
22 Kabanikele imihlatshelo yokubonga,+Bamemezele imisebenzi yakhe ngentokozo.
23 Labo abahamba ngemikhumbi,Bedabula elwandle besiyathengisa,+
24 Bazibonile izenzo zikaJehova,Lemisebenzi yakhe emangalisayo eselwandle.+
25 Uyakhuluma kube lesiphepho,+Kuphakame amagagasi elwandle.
26 Abaphakamisele phezulu esibhakabhakeni,Aphinde abehlisele phansi ekujuleni kolwandle,Besabe baqhaqhazele ngoba sebebona ukufa sekubaqondile,
27 Badiyazele njengomuntu odakiweyo,Ulwazi lwabo lungabancedi ngalutho.+
28 Besebekhala kuJehova besebunzimeni,+Abakhulule ekuhluphekeni.
29 Uyasithulisa isiphepho,Amagagasi olwandle athule athi cwaka.+
30 Bayathokoza nxa bewabona ethula,Uyabakhokhela baye ethekwini* abafuna ukuya kulo.
31 Abantu kabambonge uJehova ngenxa yothando lwakhe oluqotho,Kabambonge ngemisebenzi yakhe emangalisayo ayenzele abantu.+
32 Kabamdumise embuthanweni wabantu,+Bamdumise emhlanganweni wamadoda amadala.
33 Utshintsha imifula ibe yinkangala,Lezindawo ezigobhoza amanzi zibe ngumhlabathi owomileyo,+
34 Atshintshe umhlabathi ovundileyo ube lugwadule lwesawudo,+Ngenxa yezinto ezimbi ezenziwa yilabo abahlala khona.
35 Uguqula inkangala ibe ngamachibi alemihlanga,Lomhlabathi owomileyo ube yindawo egobhoza amanzi.+
36 Abesehlalisa abalambileyo khona,+Ukuze bakhe idolobho abazahlala kulo,+
37 Balime amasimu bahlanyele lezihlahla zamagilebisi+Ezithela izithelo ezinengi.+
38 Uyababusisa bande babe banengi,Kavumi ukuthi inkomo zabo zibe zilutshwana.+
39 Kodwa baphinda babe balutshwana njalo bayangeke,Ngenxa yokucindezelwa lokuhlupheka losizi.
40 Uyangisa izikhulu,Azenze zizulazule enkangala engelandlela.+
41 Kodwa uyabavikela abayanga kulabo ababahlukuluzayo,+Enze izimuli zabo zande njengomhlambi.
42 Abaqotho bayakubona lokhu bathokoze,+Kodwa bonke abangalunganga bavala imilomo yabo.+
43 Ohlakaniphileyo uzazinanzelela izinto lezi,+Uzacabangisisa ngezenzo zikaJehova ezitshengisa ukuthi ulothando oluqotho.+
