Psalms 132

Ingoma yemiqanso.

1Oh Thixo, khumbula uDavida
ngezinhlupheko zonke azibhenselayo.

2Wafunga isifungo kuThixo
wenza isithembiso kuMninimandla kaJakhobe:
3“Angizukungena endlini yami
loba ngiye embhedeni wami,
4angiyikuwavumela amehlo ami ubuthongo,
akukuba lakuwozela enkopheni zami,
5ngize ngifumane indawo kaThixo,
indawo yokuhlala uMninimandla kaJakhobe.”

6Sakuzwa lokhu e-Efrathi,
sakubona emangweni waseJayari:
7“Kasiye lapho ahlala khona;
kasikhonze phansi kwesihlalo sakhe.
8Phakama, Oh Thixo, ubuye endaweni yakho yokuphumula,
wena umtshokotsho wesivumelwano elitshengisa amandla akho.
9Sengathi abaphristi bakho bangembeswa ngokulunga;
sengathi labathembekileyo bakho bangahlabelela ngentokozo.”

10Ngenxa yenceku yakho uDavida,
ungamfulatheli ogcotshiweyo wakho.

11 UThixo wenza isifungo kuDavida,
isifungo esiqinileyo angakusaphula wathi:
“Omunye wezizukulwane zakho
ngizambeka esihlalweni sakho sobukhosi
12aluba amadodana akho egcina isivumelwano sami
lezimiso engibafundisa zona,
lapho-ke amadodana abo azahlala esihlalweni sakho
sobukhosi kuze kube nini lanini.”

13Ngoba uThixo uyikhethile iZiyoni,
uyithandile ukuba yindawo yakhe yokuhlala:
14“Le yindawo yami yokuphumula lanini;
lapha ngizahlala ngisebukhosini, ngoba ngiyithandile
15ngizayibusisa ngokudla okunengi;
abayanga bayo ngizabasuthisa ngokudla.
16Ngizavunulisa abaphristi bayo ngensindiso,
labathembekileyo bakhe bazahlabelela ngentokozo nini lanini.

17Lapha ngizakhulisa uphondo lukaDavida
ngilungisele ogcotshiweyo wami isibane.
18Ngizakwembathisa izitha ngehlazo,
kodwa umqhele osekhanda lakhe uzakhazimula.”
