Psalms 77

Kumqondisi wokuhlabela. KuJeduthuni, Elika-Asafi. Ihubo.

1Ngakhala kuNkulunkulu ngicela uncedo;
ngakhala kuNkulunkulu ukuthi angizwe.
2Ngathi ngikhathazekile ngamdinga uThixo;
ebusuku ngazelula izandla azazezadinwa
lomphefumulo wami wala ukududuzeka.

3Ngakukhumbula, Oh Nkulunkulu, ngabubula;
ngacabanga, umoya wami wancipha.
4Wala ukuthi amehlo ami avaleke;
ngangikhathazekile ngisehluleka ukukhuluma.
5Ngakhumbula ngezinsuku ezedlulayo,
insuku zakudala;
6ngakhumbula izingoma zami ebusuku.
Inhliziyo yami yacabanga lomoya wami wadinga:

7“INkosi izakhalala kokuphela na?
Ayisayikuphinde itshengise uthando lwayo njalo na?
8Kanti uthando lwayo olungapheliyo selunyamalele kokuphela na?
Kanti isithembiso sayo sesiphelile kokuphela na?
9Kanti uNkulunkulu usekhohliwe ukuba lesihawu na?
Usethe ngokuzonda wagodla uzwelo lwakhe na?”

10Ngasengikhumbula ngathi, “Yilokhu okunginqundayo,
ukuthi isandla sokunene soPhezukonke kasisekho phezu kwami.
11Ngizayikhumbula imisebenzi kaThixo;
yebo, ngizayikhumbula imimangaliso yakho yekadeni.
12Ngizacabanga ngayo yonke imisebenzi yakho
nginakane ngazozonke izenzo zakho ezinkulu.”

13Izindlela zakho, Oh Nkulunkulu, zingcwele;
nguphi unkulunkulu omkhulu njengoNkulunkulu wethu na?
14Nguwe Nkulunkulu owenza izimanga;
uyawatshengisa amandla akho ebantwini.
15Ngengalo yakho elamandla wabakhulula abantu bakho,
izizukulwane zikaJakhobe loJosefa.

16Amanzi akubona wena, Oh Nkulunkulu,
amanzi akubona atshotshobala;
inziki zagonyuluka.
17Amayezi awathulula amanzi,
isibhakabhaka sandindiza ngokuduma;
imitshoko yakho yaphazima yaya le lale.
18Umdumo wakho wezwakala uphakathi kwesivunguzane,
umbane wakho wawukhanyisa umhlaba;
umhlaba wavevezela wanyikinyeka.
19Indlela yakho yadabula olwandle,
umkhondo wakho phakathi kwamanzi,
kodwa izinyathelo zakho zazingabonakali.

20Wabahola abantu bakho njengomhlambi wezimvu
ngesandla sikaMosi lo-Aroni.
