1 Ngiyakuthanda, Jehova,mandla ami.
2 Jehova uyidwala lami, nenqaba yami, nomkhululi wami;uNkulunkulu wami uyidwala lami engiphephela kulo,nesihlangu sami,nophondo lokusindiswa kwami,inqaba yami ephakemeyo.
3 Ngiyamemeza kuJehova odumisekayo,ngisindiswe ezitheni zami.
4 Izintambo zokufa zangizungelezela,izikhukhula zokona zangethusa.
5 Izintambo zasendaweni yabafileyo zangizungeza,izihibe zokufa zangehlela.
6 Ekuhluphekeni kwami ngambiza uJehova,ngakhala kuNkulunkulu wami;walizwa izwi lami esethempelini lakhe;ukukhala kwami phambi kwakhe kwangena ezindlebeni zakhe.
7 Umhlaba wawusuzamazama, wadikizela;izisekelo zezintaba zathuthumela,zagubhuzela ngokuba ethukuthele.
8 Kwenyuka umusi emakhaleni akhe,nomlilo odlayo emlonyeni wakhe;amalahle avutha kuye.
9 Wathobisa izulu, wehla;ubumnyama babuphansi kwezinyawo zakhe.
10 Wakhwela phezu kwekherubi,* wandiza;washweza ngamaphiko omoya.
11 Ubumnyama wabenza isisibekelo,idokodo lakhe elimphahlayo;amanzi amnyama, amafu anzima.
12 Ekukhazimuleni okuphambi kwakheamafu akhe abanga phambili,isichotho namalahle avuthayo.
13 UJehova waduma ezulwini;oPhezukonke walizwakalisa izwi lakhe:isichotho namalahle avuthayo.
14 Wathuma imicibisholo yakhe, wabangquzula,nemibani eminingi, wabadidizelisa.
15 Kwase kubonakala imisinga yamanzi;izisekelo zomhlaba zambulwa ngesijeziso sakho, Jehova,ngokufutha komoya wamakhala akho.
16 Waselula isandla sakhe ephezulu, wangibamba;wangikhipha emanzini amaningi.
17 Wangophula esitheni sami esinamandlanakubo abangizondayo,ngokuba base bengahlulile.
18 Bangihlasela ngosuku lwesigemegeme sami,kepha uJehova waba yinsika yami.
19 Wangiphumisela endaweni ebanzi;wangikhulula, ngokuba ebethokoza ngami.
20 UJehova wangivuza ngokokulunga kwami;wangibuyisela njengokuhlanzeka kwezandla zami.
21 Ngokuba ngizigcinile izindlela zikaJehova,angimukanga kuNkulunkulu wami ngokushinga.
22 Ngokuba yonke imithetho yakhe yayiphambi kwami,nezimiso zakhe angivumanga ukuba zisuke kimi.
23 Ngangiphelele kuye;ngabuxwaya ububi.
24 UJehova wayesebuyisela kimi njengokulunga kwami,njengokuhlanzeka kwezandla zami phambi kwamehlo akhe.
25 Kothembekileyo uyazibonakalisa uthembekile;kumuntu oqotho uzibonakalisa uqotho;
26 kohlanzekileyo uyazibonakalisa uhlanzekile;koyisigwegwe uyazibonakalisa unenkani.
27 Ngokuba wena uyabasindisa abantu abathobekileyo,kepha amehlo abaqhoshileyo uyawathobisa.
28 Ngokuba wena uyokhela isibani sami;uJehova uNkulunkulu wami uyakhanyisa ubumnyama bami.
29 Ngokuba ngawe ngingahlasela impi;ngoNkulunkulu wami ngingeqa ugange.
30 Indlela kaNkulunkulu iphelele;izwi likaJehova lihlanzekile;yena uyisihlangu kubo bonke abaphephela kuye.
31 Ngokuba ngubani onguNkulunkulu ngaphandle kukaJehova,ngubani oyidwala ngaphandle kukaNkulunkulu wethu na?
32 uNkulunkulu ongibhincisa amandla,owenza indlela yami ilunge;
33 owenza izinyawo zami zibe njengezendluzelekazi,angimise emagqumeni ami;
34 ofundisa izandla zami ukulwa,ukuze izingalo zami zinsale umnsalo wethusi.
35 Wena unginikile isihlangu sensindiso yakho,isandla sakho sokunene singisekele,nobumnene bakho bungikhulisile.
36 Amabanga okunyathela kwami uwandisile;amaqakala ami awaxegi.
37 Ngazixosha izitha zami, ngazifica;angibuyanga ngingakaziqedi.
38 Ngaziphahlaza, zaze zahluleka ukuvuka;zawa phansi kwezinyawo zami.
39 Wangibhincisa amandla okulwa;ababengivukele wabathobisa phansi kwami.
40 Wangifulathelisela izitha zami,nabangizondayo ngabaqothula.
41 Bakhala, kepha akubangakho osindisayo,nakuJehova, kodwa akaze aphendula.
42 Ngabacolisisa njengothuli emoyeni;ngabalahla njengensila ezitaladini.
43 Wangikhulula ezimpini zabantu;wangimisa ngaba yinhloko yabezizwe;abantu engingabaziyo bangikhonza.
44 Banele ukungizwa nje ngendlebe,base bengilalela;abafo bazithoba phansi kwami.
45 Abafo babuna,baphuma ezinqabeni zabo bethuthumele.
46 UJehova usekhona,malidunyiswe iDwala lami;makaphakanyiswe uNkulunkulu wensindiso yami,
47 uNkulunkulu onginikile impindiselo,wathobisa izizwe phansi kwami;
48 ongikhululile ezitheni zami,yebo, ongiphakamisile phezu kwabangivukelayo,wangikhulula kumuntu oyisidlwangudlwangu.
49 Ngalokho-ke ngizakukubonga phakathi kwabezizwe, Jehova,ngilihubele igama lakho.
50 Uyenza insindiso ibe nkulu enkosini yakhe;uyenza umusa kogcotshiweyo wakhe uDavidenasenzalweni yakhe kuze kube phakade.
