Tihlabelelo

17 Awu Jehova, ngilalele nangicela kutsi ungentele umusa;

Naka kukhalela kwami lusito;

Lalela umthantazo wami lengiwusho ngebucotfo.+

 2 Shengatsi ungangehlulela ngekulunga;+

Shengatsi emehlo akho angabona lokuhle.

 3 Wena uhlolisise inhlitiyo yami, wangibukisisa ebusuku;+

Ungicwengile;+

Futsi utawutfola kutsi angikaze ngakhe emacebo lamabi,

Nekutsi umlomo wami awukoni.

 4 Nome ngabe bantfu bentani,

Mine ngiyatibalekela tindlela tetigebengu ngenca yemavi akho.+

 5 Tinyawo tami atichubeke tihamba etindleleni takho

Kuze tingasheleli.+

 7 Bentele umusa* ngendlela lemangalisako,+

Wena unguMsindzisi walabo labakhosela esandleni sakho sangesekudla

Nabatsi babalekela bantfu labakuvukelako.

 8 Ngivikele njengenhlavu yeliso lakho;+

Ungifihle ngephansi kwemaphiko akho.+

 9 Ngivikele kulababi labangihlaselako,

Ungivikele etitseni tami letingitungeletile futsi letifuna kungibulala.+

10 Atisenanhlitiyo;*

Tiyatigabatisa ngemilomo yato;

11 Nyalo setiyasivimbetela;+

Tifuna litfuba lekusiwisa.*

12 Lomubi ufanana nelibhubesi lelifuna kudzabudzabula inyamatane ibe ticucu,

Ufanana nelibhubesi lelisakhula lelibhace endzaweni lesitsekile.

13 Awu Jehova, phakama umelane naye+ futsi umlahle phansi;

Ngisindzise kulomubi ngenkemba yakho;

14 Awu Jehova, ngikhulule ngesandla sakho

Kubantfu balapha eveni, labanake kuphila kwanyalo,+

Labo lobenetisa ngetintfo letinhle lobanikete tona+

Futsi labashiyela emadvodzana abo lamanyenti lifa.

15 Kodvwa mine ngenta lokulungile, futsi ngenca yaloko utangentela umusa;

Ngitawenetiseka nangivuka futsi ngikubona.*+
