1 UDavide wakhuluma kuJehova amazwi aleli hubo mhla uJehova emophula esandleni sezitha zakhe zonke nasesandleni sikaSawule,
2 wathi:“UJehova uyidwala lami,nenqaba yami, nomkhululi wami;
3 uNkulunkulu uyidwala lamiengiphephela kulo,nesihlangu sami,nophondo lokusindiswa kwami,inqaba yami ephakemeyo nesiphephelo sami;msindisi wami, uyangisindisa ebudloveni.
4 Ngiyamemeza kuJehovaodumisekayo,ngisindiswe ezitheni zami.
5 “Ngokuba amaza okufa angihaqa;izikhukhula zokona zangethusa.
6 Izintambo zasendaweni yabafileyozangizungeza,izihibe zokufa zangehlela.
7 Ekuhluphekeni kwami ngambizauJehova,ngakhala kuNkulunkulu wami;walizwa izwi lami esethempelini lakhe;ukukhala kwami kwangena ezindlebeni zakhe.
8 “Umhlaba wawusuzamazama,wadikizela;izisekelo zezulu zathuthumela,zaqhaqhazela ngokuba ethukuthele.
9 Kwenyuka umusi emakhaleni akhe,nomlilo odlayo emlonyeni wakhe;amalahle avutha kuye.
10 Wathobisa izulu, wehla;ubumnyama babuphansi kwezinyawo zakhe.
11 Wakhwela phezu kwekherubi,*wandiza;wabonwa emaphikweni omoya.
12 Wenza ubumnyama bubengamadokodo amphahlayo,amanzi aqoqane, amafu abe nzima.
13 Ekukhazimuleni okuphambi kwakhekwavuthiswa amalahle omlilo.
14 UJehova waduma ezulwini;oPhezukonke walizwakalisa izwi lakhe.
15 Wathuma imicibisholo,wabangquzula,yebo, nonyazi, wabadidizelisa.
16 Kwase kubonakala imisinga yamanzi;izisekelo zomhlaba zambulwangesijeziso sikaJehova,ngokufutha komoya wamakhala akhe.
17 Waselula isandla sakhe ephezulu,wangibamba;wangikhipha emanzini amaningi.
18 Wangophula esitheni samiesinamandlanakubo abangizondayo,ngokuba base bengahlulile.
19 Bangihlasela ngosuku lwesigemegemesami,kepha uJehova waba yinsika yami.
20 Wangiphumisela endaweni ebanzi:wangikhulula, ngokuba ebethokoza ngami.
21 “UJehova wangivuza ngokokulungakwami;wangibuyisela njengokuhlanzeka kwezandla zami.
22 Ngokuba ngizigcinile izindlelazikaJehova;angimukanga kuNkulunkulu wami ngokushinga.
23 Ngokuba yonke imithetho yakheyayiphambi kwami,nezimiso zakhe angizivumanga ukuba zisuke kimi.
24 Ngangiphelele kuye;ngabuxwaya ububi.
25 UJehova wayesebuyisela kiminjengokulunga kwami,njengokuhlanzeka kwami phambi kwamehlo akhe.
26 “Kothembekileyo uyazibonakalisaethembekile;kumuntu oqotho uyazibonakalisa eqotho;
27 kohlanzekileyo uyazibonakalisaehlanzekile;koyisigwegwe uyazibonakalisa enenkani.
28 Uyasindisa abantu abathobekileyo,kepha amehlo akho aphezu kwabaqhoshileyo ukuba ubathobise.
29 Ngokuba wena uyisibani sami,Jehova;uJehova uyakhanyisa ubumnyama bami.
30 Ngokuba ngawe ngingahlasela impi;ngoNkulunkulu wami ngingeqa ugange.
31 Indlela kaNkulunkulu iphelele;izwi likaJehova lihlanzekile;yena uyisihlangu kubo bonke abaphephela kuye.
32 “Ngokuba ngubani onguNkulunkulungaphandle kukaJehova,ngubani oyidwala ngaphandle kukaNkulunkulu wethu na?
33 UNkulunkulu uyangibhincisaamandla;uyenza indlela yami ilunge,
34 yena owenza izinyawo zami zibenjengezendluzelekazi,angimise emagqumeni ami;
35 ofundisa izandla zami ukulwa,ukuze izingalo zami zinsale umnsalo wethusi.
36 Wena unginikile isihlangu sensindisoyakho;ubumnene bakho bungikhulisile.
37 Amabanga okunyathela kwamiuwandisile;amaqakala ami awaxegi.
38 “Ngazixosha izitha zami, ngazifica;angibuyanga ngingakaziqedi.
39 Ngaziqeda, ngaziphahlaza, zazezahluleka ukuvuka;zawa phansi kwezinyawo zami.
40 Wangibhincisa amandla okulwa;ababengivukele wabathobisa phansi kwami.
41 Wangifulathelisela izitha zami,nabangizondayo ngabaqothula.
42 Bakhala, kepha akubangakhoosindisayo,nakuJehova, kodwa akaze aphendula.
43 Ngabacolisisa njengothulilomhlabathi;ngabagxoba, ngabalahla njengensila ezitaladini.
44 “Wangikhulula ezimpini zabantubami;wangilonda ngaba yinhloko yabezizwe;abantu engingabaziyo bangikhonza.
45 Abafo bazithoba phansi kwami;banele ukungizwa nje ngendlebe,base bengilalela.
46 Abafo babuna,baphuma ezinqabeni zabo bethuthumela.
47 “UJehova usekhona malidunyisweidwala lami;makaphakanyiswe uNkulunkulu wensindiso yami,
48 uNkulunkulu onginikile impindiselo,wathobisa izizwe phansi kwami;
49 ongikhiphile ezitheni zami,wangiphakamisa phezu kwabangivukelayo,wangikhulula kumuntu oyisidlwangudlwangu.
50 Ngalokho-ke ngizakukubongaphakathi kwabezizwe, Jehova,ngilihubele igama lakho.
51 Uyenza insindiso ibe nkulu enkosiniyakhe;uyenza umusa kogcotshiweyo wakhe uDavidenasenzalweni yakhe kuze kube phakade.”
