1 Jehova, umeleni kude na?Uzifihlelani ubuso ezikhathini zokuhlupheka na?
2 Ngokuqhosha komubi ompofu uyahlupheka;mababanjwe ngamacebo abawacebileyo.
3 Ngokuba omubi uyazigabisa ngokufisa komphefumulo wakhe,nohulazayo uyamvalelisa,amdelele uJehova.
4 Omubi ngokuzikhukhumeza kobuso bakhe uthi:“Akanaki lutho;akakho uNkulunkulu,”injalo imicabango yakhe yonke.
5 Izindlela zakhe zithembekile izikhathi zonke;izahlulelo zakho ziphakeme kakhulu kunokubona kwakhe;zonke izitha zakhe uyazidelela.
6 Uthi enhliziyweni yakhe: “Angiyikuzanyazanyiswa;izizukulwane nezizukulwane angisoze ngehlelwa ngozi.”
7 Umlomo wakhe ugcwele isiqalekiso nenkohliso nobudlova;ngaphansi kolimi lwakhe kukhona ukwelelesa nokonakala.
8 Uhlezi ezindaweni zokuqamekela zemizi;ezindaweni ezisithekileyo uyambulala ongenacala;amehlo akhe ayamhlwaya othithibeleyo.
9 Endaweni esithekileyo uqamekela njengengonyama emphandwini wayo;uhlomele ukumbamba ohluphekileyo;uyambamba ohluphekileyo ngokumngenisa esihibeni sakhe.
10 Uyanyonyoba, uyakhothama,abathithibeleyo bawe ngamazipho akhe.
11 Uthi enhliziyweni yakhe:“UNkulunkulu ukhohliwe,ubusithezile ubuso bakhe;akasoze wakubona nanini.”
12 Vuka, Jehova!Nkulunkulu, phakamisa isandla sakho,ungakhohlwa abahluphekileyo.
13 Kungani ukuba omubi adelele uNkulunkulu,athi enhliziyweni yakhe: “Awuyikukunaka,” na?
14 Ubonile wena;ngokuba ukukhathazeka nokuhlupheka uyakubona wenaukuze ukubeke esandleni sakho;othithibeleyo uyazinikela kuwe;wena ungumsizi wentandane.
15 Yaphula ingalo yomubi;buphenyisise ububi besoni,ukuze ungabe usabufumana.
16 UJehova uyinkosi kuze kube phakade naphakade;abezizwe bayachithwa emhlabeni wakhe.
17 Jehova, uyakuzwa ukulangazela kwabamnene;uyaqinisa inhliziyo yabo,indlebe yakho uyibeka kubo
18 ukuba wahlulele intandane nocindezelweyo,ukuze umuntu wasemhlabeni angabe esabanga uvalo.
