Psalms 4

Kumqondisi wokuhlabela. Ngeziginci. Ihubo likaDavida.

1 Ngiphendula lapho ngikubiza,
Oh Nkulunkulu wami olungileyo.
Ake ungiphumuze ekuhlulukelweni engikukho;
woba lomusa kimi njalo uzwe umkhuleko wami.

2 Koze kube nini, we bantu,
koze kube nini inkazimulo yami liyenza ihlazo?
Koze kube nini lithanda inkohliso
njalo lidinga onkulunkulu bamanga?
3 Yazini ukuthi uThixo
usezehlukanisele labo abathembekileyo,
njalo uThixo uyezwa nxa ngikhala kuye.

4 Ekuthukutheleni kwenu lingoni;
nxa lisemibhedeni yenu
hlolani inhliziyo zenu, lithule.
5 Nikelani imihlatshelo eqondileyo,
limethembe uThixo.

6 Abanengi bayabuza bathi,
“Kuvele ngubani ongasitshengisa ukulunga na?”
Sengathi ukukhanya kobuso bakho
kungakhazimula phezu kwethu, Oh Thixo.
7 Uyigcwalisile inhliziyo yami ngentokozo enkulu
eyedlula ubunengi bamabele abo lewayini labo elitsha.

8 Ngizalala phansi ngijunywe yibuthongo ngilokuthula,
ngoba wena wedwa,
Oh Thixo, uhlezi ungilondolozile.
