Psalms 102

Umkhuleko womuntu okhathazekileyo. Lapho esephela umoya eseqhinqa isililo phambi kukaJehova.

1 Zwana umkhuleko wami, O Jehova; ukukhala kwami ngicela uncedo kakufike kuwe.

2 Ungangifihleli ubuso bakho nxa ngikhathazekile. Ngipha indlebe yakho; nxa ngibiza ngiphendula masinyane.

3 Ngoba izinsuku zami ziyanyamalala njengentuthu; amathambo ami ayavutha njengamalahle abhebhayo.

4 Inhliziyo yami yonakele, ibunile njengotshani; ngiyakhohlwa ukudla kwami.

5 Ngenxa yokububula kwami okukhulu sengiphelile, isigogo sesinamathela emathanjeni.

6 Sengifana lesikhova senkangala, njengesikhova semanxiweni.

7 Ngilala ngikhangele; senginjengenyoni ehlezi yodwa ephahleni.

8 Ilanga lonke izitha zami ziyangichukuluza; labo abangichothozayo badlala ngebizo lami njengesethuko.

9 Ngokuba ngidla umlotha njengokudla kwami, ngixube okunathwayo kwami ngezinyembezi

10 ngenxa yokuthukuthela kwakho okukhulu, ngoba ungiqukule wangilahlela eceleni.

11 Izinsuku zami zifana lesithunzi sakusihlwa; ngiyabuna njengotshani.

12 Kodwa wena, O Jehova, uhlezi ebukhosini lanininini; udumo lwakho lumi ezizukulwaneni zonke.

13 Uzaphakama uzwele iZiyoni isihawu, ngoba sekuyisikhathi sokutshengisa umusa kuyo, isikhathi esimisiweyo sesifikile.

14 Ngokuba amatshe ayo aligugu ezincekwini zakho; lothuli lwayo nje lubalethela usizi.

15 Izizwe zizalesaba ibizo likaJehova, wonke amakhosi omhlaba azahlonipha inkazimulo yakhe.

16 Ngoba uJehova uzayakha butsha iZiyoni ivele enkazimulweni yakhe.

17 Uzaphendula imithandazo yabahluphekayo; kazukweyisa isicelo sabo.

18 Lokhu kakulotshwe phansi kube ngokwesizukulwane sakusasa, ukuze abantu abangakadalwa bamdumise uJehova:

19 “UJehova wakhangela phansi ephezulu endlini yakhe engcwele, esezulwini wawuhlola umhlaba,

20 ukuze ezwe ukububula kwezibotshwa lokukhulula labo ababegwetshelwe ukufa.”

21 Ngalokho-ke ibizo likaJehova lizamenyezelwa eZiyoni lodumo lwakhe eJerusalema,

22 lapha izizwe lemibuso sekuhlangana ndawonye ukukhonza uJehova.

23 Wawanciphisa amandla ami ngisaphila; waziphungula izinsuku zami.

24 yikho ngase ngisithi, “Ungangithathi, O Nkulunkulu wami, ngilokhu ngisephakathi kwezinsuku zami; iminyaka yakho ihlala ikhona ezizukulwaneni zonke.

25 Ekuqaleni wabeka izisekelo zomhlaba, lamazulu angumsebenzi wezandla zakho.

26 Konke kuzabhubha, kodwa wena uzasala; konke kuzaguga njengesigqoko. Njengesivunulo uzakuguqula kucine sekulahlwa.

27 Kodwa wena uhlala unjalo, njalo iminyaka yakho kayisoze iphele lanini.

28 Abantwana bezinceku zakho bazahlala besemehlweni akho; izizukulwane zazo zizaqiniswa phambi kwakho.”
