Tihlabelelo
Sicondziso lesiya kumcondzisi. Ingoma yaDavide.
109 Awu Nkulunkulu lengimdvumisako,+ ungathuli.
2 Ngobe bantfu lababi nalabakhohlakele bakhuluma kabi ngami.
Bakhuluma emanga ngami;+
3 Bangitungeletile futsi basho emavi langivisa buhlungu,
Bangihlasela ngaphandle kwesizatfu.+
4 Nanobe mine ngibatsandza, bona bayangihlasela;+
Kodvwa ngiyachubeka ngithantaza.
5 Lokuhle lengikwentile bakubuyisela ngalokubi,+
Nelutsandvo lengibakhombise lona balubuyisela ngekungitondza.+
6 Shengatsi umuntfu lomubi angehlulelwa ngulomunye lomubi;
Loyo lommangalelako akeme ngesekudla sakhe.
7 Shengatsi nakehlulelwa angatfolwa anelicala;
Nemthantazo wakhe utsatfwe njengalosono.+
8 Shengatsi angete aphila sikhatsi lesidze;+
Umsebenti wakhe wekuba ngumbonisi awutsatfwe ngulomunye.+
9 Shengatsi bantfwana* bakhe bangaba tintsandzane,
Nemfati wakhe abe ngumfelokati.
10 Shengatsi bantfwana* bakhe bangehla benyuka bahamba bacela,
Baphume emakhaya akubo lasatindzala bahambe bayofuna kudla.
11 Shengatsi umuntfu laboleke kuye imali angamemuka konkhe lanako,
Nebantfu bekuhamba batsatse tonkhe tintfo takhe.
12 Akubete umuntfu lomentela umusa,
Futsi akubete lobentela umusa bantfwabakhe labatintsandzane.
13 Shengatsi bantfwana bakhe bangaphela nya;+
Abangakhunjulwa ngisho nasitukulwane lesitako.
14 Jehova akasikhumbule sono sabokhokho bakhe,+
Shengatsi angete asicisha sono samake wakhe.
15 Shengatsi Jehova angahlale akukhumbula labakwentile;
Nemabito abo akangakhunjulwa emhlabeni.+
16 Ngobe lomuntfu lomubi akabentelanga labanye umusa,+
Kodvwa bekasolo afuna labacindzetelekile,+ labeswele nalabephukile etinhlitiyweni,
Kuze ababulale.+
17 Abetsandza kucalekisa labanye, kepha leticalekiso tabuye tehlela yena;
Abengatsandzi kubusisa labanye, ngako naye akazange abusiswe.
18 Ticalekiso bekatigcoke shengatsi yimphahla.
Futsi tangena emtimbeni wakhe njengemanti,
Tangena nasematsanjeni akhe njengemafutsa.
19 Shengatsi ticalekiso angatembatsa njengemphahla layigcokako,+
Tibe njengelibhande lahlale alibophile.
20 Nguleyo-ke indlela Jehova lamjezisa ngayo umuntfu lomelene nami,+
Nalabajezisa ngayo labo labakhuluma kabi ngami.
21 Kodvwa wena Jehova loyiNkhosi Lephakeme,
Ngisite ngenca yelibito lakho.+
Ngisindzise ngobe unemusa* lomkhulu.+
23 Njengesitfunti lesishabalalako nami sengiyashabalala;
Ngipheshulwe ngumoya njengetintsetse.
24 Emadvolo ami sekayacega ngenca yekuzila kudla;
Sengondzile futsi ngibutsakatsaka.
25 Sebangitsatsa njengentfo yekwedzelelwa.+
Batsi nabangibona banikine tinhloko.+
26 Awu Jehova Nkulunkulu wami, ngisite;
Ngisindzise ngenca yelutsandvo lwakho lolucotfo.
27 Shengatsi bangati kutsi nguwe
Jehova longisindzisile.
28 Bona bangangicalekisa, kodvwa shengatsi wena ungangibusisa.
Abatsi nabamelana nami, ubente bahlazeke,
Kodvwa shengatsi mine nceku yakho ngingajabula.
29 Shengatsi labo labangihlaselako bangahlazeka;
Shengatsi emahloni angabambonya kube ngatsi bambonywe lijazi.+
30 Ngitawudvumisa Jehova ngenhlitiyo yonkhe;
Ngitamdvumisa embikwebantfu labanyenti.+
31 Ngobe utawuma ngesekudla saloweswele
Kute amkhulule kulabo labamlahla ngelicala.
