Psalms 109

Kumqondisi wokuhlabela. ElikaDavida. Ihubo.

1Oh Nkulunkulu, wena engikudumisayo,
ungali ulokhu uthule,
2ngoba abantu ababi abalenkohliso
bayivulile imilomo yabo bekhuluma ngami;
bakhuluma bengigcona ngendimi zabo zamanga.
3Bangihonqolozela ngamazwi enzondo;
bayangisukela nje kungelasizatho.
4Ukubathanda kwami bakuphindisela ngokungisola,
kodwa ngingumuntu womkhuleko.
5Bangiphindisela okuhle ngokubi,
langenzondo ukubathanda kwami.

6Bathi, “Khethani umuntu omubi ozamelana laye;
ombeka icala kame kwesokunene sakhe.
7Nxa esethonisiswa kafunyanwe elecala,
futhi sengathi imikhuleko yakhe ingamlahla.
8Sengathi insuku zakhe zingabazilutshwana;
kakube lomunye ozathatha isikhundla sakhe sobukhokheli.
9Sengathi abantwabakhe bangaba zintandane
lomkakhe abe ngumfelokazi.
10Sengathi abantwabakhe bangaba zinzulane zeziceli;
sengathi bangaxotshwa emizini yabo esingamanxiwa.
11Sengathi lowo aboleke kuye angamemuka konke alakho;
sengathi labezizweni bangaphanga izithelo zamandla akhe.
12Akungabikhona omenzela umusa
loba ozwela izintandane zakhe.
13Sengathi izizukulwane zakhe zingaphela,
amabizo abo esulwe esizukulwaneni esilandelayo.
14Sengathi ububi bukayise bungakhunjulwa phambi kukaThixo,
sengathi isono sikanina singacitshi lanini.
15Sengathi izono zabo zingahlala zisobala phambi kukaThixo,
ukuze aphelise du ukukhunjulwa kwabo emhlabeni.

16Ngoba kazange akhumbule ukwenza umusa
kodwa wabazingelela ukufa abayanga
labaswelayo labadabukileyo enhliziyweni.
17Wayekuthanda ukwethesa isithuko,
sengathi singehlela kuye.
Wayengakuthandi ukubusisa
sengathi kungaba khatshana laye.
18Wayevunula ukuthuka njengesigqoko;
kwangena emzimbeni wakhe njengamanzi,
emathanjeni akhe njengamafutha.
19Sengathi kungaba njengengubo athandelwe ngayo
njengebhanti abotshwe ngalo lanini.”
20Sengathi lokhu kungaba yisijeziso sikaThixo kulabo abangethesa amacala,
labo abakhuluma okubi ngami.

21Kodwa wena, Oh Thixo woBukhosi,
ngenzela kuhle ngenxa yebizo lakho;
ngenxa yokulunga kothando lwakho akungikhulule.
22Ngoba ngingumyanga ngiyaswela,
lenhliziyo yami ilimele ngaphakathi kwami.
23Ngiyafiphala njengethunzi lakusihlwa;
ngiyaphetshulwa njengentethe.
24Amadolo ami asebuthakathaka ngokuzila ukudla;
umzimba wami usuzacile usutshwabhene.
25Sengiyinto yokuhlekisa kulabo abangibeka amacala;
bathi bengibona banyikinye amakhanda abo.

26Akungisize, Oh Thixo Nkulunkulu wami;
ngisindisa ngokuya ngothando lwakho.
27Kumele bakwazi ukuthi lokhu ngokwesandla sakho;
wena, Oh Thixo, nguwe okwenzileyo.
28Bangangiqalekisa, kodwa wena uzabusisa;
bathi bayahlasela bayangiswe,
kodwa inceku yakho izathokoza.
29Abangivukelayo kabembeswe ihlazo
bagoqelwe ngokuyangeka njengengubo.

30Ngomlomo wami ngizambabaza kakhulu uThixo;
ngisemphakathini ngizamdumisa.
31Ngoba umi ngakwesokunene salowo oswelayo,
ukusindisa impilo yakhe kulabo abamnikela ekufeni.
