IHubo 35:1-28
Ihubo likaDavida.
35 Awu Jehova, ngicela ungivikele kulabo abangiphikisayo,+Ulwe lalabo abalwa lami.+
2 Thatha ihawu lakho elincane* lelikhulu,+Usukume ungivikele.+
3 Thatha umkhonto wakho lehloka lakho lempi* ulwe labangixotshanisayo.+
Wothi kimi: “Yimi engikusindisayo.”+
4 Kwangathi labo abangizingelayo bangayangiswa babe lenhloni.+
Kwangathi labo abafuna ukungibulala bangabaleka beyangekile.
5 Kababe njengomule ophetshulwa ngumoya,Ingilosi kaJehova kayibaxotshele khatshana.+
6 Kwangathi indlela yabo ingaba mnyama futhi itshelele,Nxa ingilosi kaJehova isibaxotshanisa,
7 Ngoba bangithiye ngenethi ngingelacala.
Bangigebhele igodi ngingonanga lutho.
8 Kwangathi bangawelwa yingozi belibele,Lenethi abangithiye ngayo ibambe bona,Bawele egodini abaligebhileyo bafe.+
9 Kodwa mina ngizathokoza ngoJehova,Ngizajabula ngoba ungisindisile.
10 Wonke amathambo ami azakuthi:
“Ngubani onjengawe Jehova?
Wena uyabakhulula abahluphekayo kulabo abalamandla kulabo,+Uvikele abahluphekayo labayanga kulabo ababaqilayo.”+
11 Ofakazi bamanga bayasukuma+Bangibuze izinto engingazi lutho ngazo.
12 Okuhle engikwenzayo bakubuyisela ngokubi,+Inhliziyo yami idabukile.
13 Kodwa ngesikhathi begula ngagqoka izigqoko zokulila,*Ngazehlisa ngazila ukudla.
Ngathi ngibona umthandazo wami ungaphendulwa,
14 Ngahambahamba ngilila njengomuntu okhalela umngane wakhe loba umfowabo.
Ngakhothama ngenxa yosizi njengomuntu olilela unina.
15 Kodwa ngathi ngikhubeka babizana bethokoza,Babuthana bangicathamela ukuze bangihlasele.
Bangidabudabula, abazange bayekele ukukhuluma ngami.
16 Abantu abangamesabiyo uNkulunkulu bayangichothoza,Bangigedlela amazinyo bengithukuthelele.+
17 Awu Jehova, uzakhangela kuze kube nini ungenzi lutho?+
Ngikhulula kulabo abangihlaselayo,+Uvikele impilo yami ezilwaneni ezilamandla.+
18 Lapho-ke ngizakubonga ngiphakathi kwebandla elikhulu,+Ngikudumise ngiphakathi kwabantu abanengi.
19 Ungavumi ukuthi labo abangizonda kungelasizatho bathokoze ngokuwa kwami,Ungavumi ukuthi labo abangizonda ngingonanga lutho+ banginyonkoloze,+
20 Ngoba abakhulumi amazwi okuthula,Kodwa babumba amacebo alobuqili ukuze baphambanise abantu abalokuthula elizweni.+
21 Bavula imilomo yabo bengisola,Besithi: “Ya! Sikubonile!”
22 Usukubonile lokhu Jehova, ungaqhubeki uthule.+
Awu Jehova, ungabi khatshana lami.+
23 Vuka usukume ungivikele,Jehova Nkulunkulu wami, mela udaba lwami emthethweni.
24 Ngahlulela ngendlela evumelana lokulunga kwakho,+ awu Jehova Nkulunkulu wami,Ungabavumeli ukuthi bathokoze ngobunzima engikubo.
25 Ungabavumeli ukuthi bathi: “Ya! Sikutholile esikufunayo.”
Kabangatsho ukuthi: “Siqedile ngaye.”+
26 Labo abathokoza ngobunzima engikuboAbayangiswe bonke babe lenhloni.
Abayangeke labo abazibona bengcono kulami.
27 Kodwa labo abathanda ukulunga kwami kabamemeze ngentokozo,Kabahlale besithi:
“Kakhazinyuliswe uJehova ngoba uthanda ukubona inceku yakhe ihlezi ngokuthula.”+
28 Lapho-ke ulimi lwami luzakhuluma* ngokulunga kwakho,+Lukudumise ilanga lonke.+
