Psalms 33

1Hlabelelani kuThixo ngentokozo,
lina balungileyo;
kubafanele abaqotho ukumdumisa.
2Dumisani uThixo ngechacho;
mhlabeleleni ngesiginci sezintambo ezilitshumi.
3Mhlabeleleni ingoma entsha;
tshayani kamnandi lihlokome ngentokozo.

4Ngoba ilizwi likaThixo lilungile, liqinisile;
uthembekile kukho konke akwenzayo.
5 UThixo uthanda ukulunga lokwahlulela okuqondileyo;
umhlaba ugcwele uthando lwakhe olungaphuthiyo.

6Ngelizwi likaThixo amazulu enziwa,
ubunkanyankanya bezinkanyezi ngomoya womlomo wakhe.
7Uyawaqoqa amanzi olwandle awathele enkonxeni;
athululele inziki zolwandle eziphaleni.
8Umhlaba wonke kawesabe uThixo;
akuthi bonke abantu bomhlaba bazithobe phambi Kwakhe.
9Ngoba wakhuluma, kwahle kwaba khona;
wayala, kwema kwaqina nko.

10 UThixo uyawachitha amacebo ezizwe;
uyazinyampisa izinhloso zabantu.
11Kodwa amacebo kaThixo ami aqinile nini lanini,
izinhloso zenhliziyo yakhe kuzozonke izizukulwane.

12Sibusisekile isizwe uNkulunkulu waso onguThixo,
abantu abakhethayo baba yilifa lakhe.
13 UThixo ukhangele phansi esezulwini
ababone bonke abantu;
14esemzini wakhe
uyababona bonke abahlala emhlabeni
15yena owenza inhliziyo zabo bonke,
enanzelela konke abakwenzayo.

16Akulankosi esizwa yibukhulu bebutho layo;
akulaqhawe eliphunyuka ngamandla alo amakhulu.
17Yikuthemba ize ukuthi ibhiza lingakusindisa;
loba lona lilamandla amakhulu ngeke lisindise.
18Kodwa amehlo kaThixo akulabo abamesabayo,
kulabo othemba labo lisethandweni lwakhe olungapheliyo,
19ukubakhulula ekufeni
baphiliswe lanxa kulendlala.

20Simlindele uThixo ngokwethemba;
ulusizo lwethu lesihlangu sethu.
21Inhliziyo zethu zithokoza Ngaye,
ngoba sithembe ebizweni lakhe elingcwele.
22Sengathi uthando Lwakho olungaphuthiyo, Thixo, lungaba phezu kwethu
njengalokhu sibeka ithemba lethu kuwe.
