116 1Ndiyamthanda uBawo wam, kuba uyaliva ilizwi lam, nesikhungo sam senceba. 2Ngenxa yokuba wayibekela indlebe yakhe kum, ndiya kumbiza yonke imihla yobomi bam. 3Izintya zokufa zandibhijela; imbandezelo yelabafileyo yandibamba; ndeyiswa yimbandezelo nasingqala. 4Ndaza ndanqula igama likaBawo wam, ndathi: “Awu, Bawo wam, ndiyakubongoza, wuhlangule umphefumlo wam!” 5Unobabalo uBawo wethu, yaye ulilungisa; uBawo wethu uzele yimfesane. 6UBawo wam ugcina abazizidenge; ndathi ndakuthotywa, wandisindisa. 7Buyela, mphefumlo wam, ekuphumleni kwakho, kuba uBawo wam ube nesisa kangaka kuwe. 8Kuba uwuhlangule umphefumlo wam ekufeni, namehlo am ezinyembezini, neenyawo zam ekukhubekeni. 9Ndiya kuhamba phambi kukaBawo wam ezweni labaphilayo. 10Ndakholwa, nokuba ndathi: “Ndicinezeleke kakhulu”; 11ekuphakuzeleni kwam ndathi: “Bonke abantu ngamaxoki.” 12Ndingambuyekeza ngantoni na uBawo wam ngenxa yobubele bakhe bonke kum? 13Ndiya kuyiphakamisa indebe yosindiso, ndinqule igama likaBawo wam. 14Ndiya kufeza izibhambathiso zam kuBawo wam phambi kwabantu bakhe bonke. 15Kunqabile kuBawo wam ukufa kwabanyanisekileyo bakhe. 16Awu, Bawo wam, ndingumkhonzi wakho ngokwenene; ndingumkhonzi wakho, unyana womkhonzazana wakho. Uzithukululile izintya zam. 17Ndiya kubingelela kuwe umbingelelo wombulelo, ndinqule igama likaBawo wam. 18Ndiya kufeza izibhambathiso zam kuBawo wam phambi kwabantu bakhe bonke, 19ezintendelezweni zendlu kaBawo wam, phakathi kwenu, Yerusalem. Haleluya!
