Tihlabelelo
Sicondziso lesiya kumcondzisi. Ingoma yaDavide.
139 Awu Jehova, ungihlolisisile futsi uyangati.+
2 Wena uyati nangihlala phansi nalapho ngisukuma.+
Wati lengikucabangako ube ukhashane.+
4 Ngitsi ngisengakakhulumi lutfo ngemlomo wami,
Wena Jehova, usuke sewati kutsi ngitawutsini.+
5 Wena ungitungelete kuto tonkhe tinhlangotsi;
Futsi sandla sakho usibeka etikwami.
7 Ngingawubalekela ngiyephi nje umoya wakho,
Ngingabhaca kuphi nje lapho wena ungeke ungibone khona?+
8 Kube bengingenyukela ezulwini, wena bewutangibona nalapho,
9 Kube bengingandizela khashane,*
Ngiyohlala etichingini letikhashane,
10 Sandla sakho besitangihola ngisho nalapho
Futsi bewutangibamba ngesandla sakho sangesekudla.+
11 Kube bengingatsi: “Bumnyama butangimbonya!”
Busuku bebutawugucuka bufanane nekukhanya kimi.
12 Ngisho nebumnyama bebungeke bube mnyama kuwe,
Kodvwa busuku bebutawukhanya njengemini;+
Kuwe bumnyama bufana nekukhanya.+
14 Ngiyakudvumisa ngobe ungidale ngendlela lemangalisako.+
Imisebenti yakho mihle kakhulu,+
Futsi loko ngikwati kahle.
15 Ematsambo ami bekangakafihleki kuwe
Ngalesikhatsi ungidala ekusitsekeni,
16 Emehlo akho angibona ngesikhatsi ngisesiswini samake;*
Ngaphambi kwekutsi kuvele ngisho nalinye lilunga lemtimba wami,
Wena besewuvele uwabhale phansi encwadzini yakho,
Wabhala mayelana nekutsi wawenta nini.
18 Kube bengingayibala, beyingaba minyenti kakhulu kunesihlabatsi saselwandle.+
Bengingatsi nobe ngivuka ngibe solo ngiyibala.*+
19 Awu Nkulunkulu, kube mane bewungababulala lababi,+
Bantfu labanebudlova* bebatawubese bayesuka kimi,
20 Lokungulabo labatikhuluma ngemabomu tintfo letimbi ngawe.
Batitsa takho futsi balisebentisa kabi libito lakho.+
22 Ngibenyanya mbamba;+
Batitsa tami letinkhulu.
