Psalms 103

ElikaDavida.

1Dumisa uThixo, Oh mphefumulo wami;
konke okuphakathi kwami,
kakudumise ibizo lakhe elingcwele.
2Dumisa uThixo, Oh mphefumulo wami,
ungaze wakhohlwa konke okuhle okuthola kuye
3othethelelayo zonke izono zakho
akusilise kuzozonke izifo zakho,
4ohlenga impilo yakho egodini
akwethese uthando lesihawu,
5osuthisa izifiso zakho ngezinto ezinhle
ukuze ubutsha bakho buvuselelwe njengengqungqulu.

6 UThixo ubenzela ukulunga
lokwahlulela okuhle labo abancindezelweyo.

7Izindlela zakhe wazazisa uMosi,
izenzo zakhe wazazisa abantu bako-Israyeli;
8 uThixo ulesihawu njalo ulomusa,
uyaphuza ukuthukuthela, kodwa uyanda ngothando.
9Kahlali ebeka imilandu
futhi kagcini ulaka lwakhe kokuphela;
10kasiphathi ngokufanele izono zethu
kumbe asijezise ngokulingene iziphambeko zethu.
11Ngoba njengokuphakama komkhathi ngaphezu komhlaba,
lukhulu kangako uthando lwakhe kulabo abamesabayo;
12njengobukhatshana bempumalanga kuyo intshonalanga
kanjalo ususile iziphambeko zethu kithi.

13Ngendlela ubaba elozwelo ebantwaneni bakhe,
kanjalo uThixo ulozwelo kulabo abamesabayo;
14ngoba uyakwazi ukuthi sibunjwe njani,
uyakhumbula ukuthi siluthuli.
15Umuntu yena insuku zakhe zinjengotshani,
ukhula amemetheke njengembali yeganga;
16umoya uyayiphephetha ihle inyamalale,
indawo yakhe ingabe isayikhumbula lanini.
17Kodwa kusukela phakade kusiya phakade
uthando lukaThixo lukulabo abamesabayo,
lokulunga Kwakhe ebantwaneni babantwana
18kulabo abagcina isivumelwano Sakhe
njalo bakhumbule ukulalela izimiso zakhe.

19 UThixo usemisile isihlalo sakhe sobukhosi ezulwini,
njalo ubukhosi bakhe buphezu kwakho konke.

20Dumisani uThixo, lina zingilosi,
lina zinceku zakhe elenza intando yakhe,
elilalela ilizwi lakhe.
21Dumisani uThixo, lonke mabutho akhe asezulwini,
lina zinceku zakhe elenza intando yakhe.
22Dumisani uThixo, imisebenzi yakhe yonke
ezindaweni zonke embusweni wakhe.

Dumisa uThixo, Oh mphefumulo wami.
