Akukho Ndawo Ingaphaya Kokufikelela Kwakhe

Kumongameli weemvumo. Ingoma kaDavide.

Akukho ndawo ingaphandle kokwazi kukaBawo wakhe—izulu, elabafileyo, ngaphesheya kolwandle, okanye ubumnyama obuphela bungebobumnyama. Oku kuquka nesizalo, apho umbhali wathungwa khona ndawonye. Uphetha ngokumema uphengululo: yazi intliziyo yam.

Isahluko 139.

Undigocagocile, Bawo, waza wandazi. Uyazi xa ndihlala phantsi naxa ndivuka; uzibona kwakude izicamango zam. Uyayigocagoca indlela yam nokuphumla kwam, uzazi kakuhle zonke iindlela zam. Nangaphambi kokuba ilizwi libe selulwimini lwam, ulazi uphela, Bawo. Undirhangqile, ngasemva nangaphambili, ubeke isandla sakho phezu kwam. Olo lwazi lubalulekile kakhulu kum; luphezulu kunene, andinakulufikelela.

Ndingaya phi na ndimke kuMoya wakho? Ndingabalekela phi na ndimke ebusweni bakho? Ukuba ndithe ndenyukela emazulwini, ukhona; ukuba ndithe ndandlala isingqengqelo sam kwelabafileyo, ukhona. Ukuba ndithe ndakhwela ngamaphiko okusa, ndaya kuhlala ngaphesheya kolwandle, nakhona isandla sakho siya kundikhokela, isandla sakho sokunene siya kundibamba sindibambe. Ukuba ndithi: “Inene ubumnyama buya kundigubungela, nokukhanya okundingqongileyo kuya kuba bubusuku,” nobumnyama abumnyama kuwe; ubusuku bukhanya njengemini, kuba ubumnyama bunjengokukhanya kuwe.

Kuba wena wazibumba izibilini zam; wandithunga ndandawonye esizalweni sikama. ^a Ndiyakudumisa, kuba ndenziwe ngokoyikekayo nangokubalulekileyo; iyimisebenzi ebalulekileyo imisebenzi yakho, umphefumlo wam ukwazi oku kakuhle. Ukubunjwa kwam kwakungafihlakele kuwe, mhla ndenziwe emfihlekweni, ndathungwa ngobugcisa ezinzulwini zomhlaba. Amehlo akho awubona umzimba wam ongekabunjwa; yonke imihla yam yayibhaliwe encwadini yakho yaza yamiselwa mna, nangaphambi kokuba ibekho noko nanye kuyo. Hayi ukubaluleka kwazo kum izicamango zakho, Bawo! Hayi ubuninzi benani lazo! Ukuba bendinokuzibala, zingadlula intlabathi ngobuninzi. Xa ndivukayo, ndisahleli nawe.

Akwaba ubunokubabulala abangendawo, Bawo! Sukani kum, nina banxanelwe igazi! Bathetha ngawe ngenjongo embi; iintshaba zakho zilithabatha ngelize igama lakho. Andibathiyi na abo bakuthiyayo, Bawo? Andibacekisi na abo bakusukelayo? Ndibathiya ngentiyo epheleleyo; ndibabala njengeentshaba zam.

Ndigocagoce, Bawo, uyazi intliziyo yam; ndilinge uzazi izicamango zam ezidubayo, ubone ukuba ikho na indlela ekhubekisayo kum, undikhokele endleleni engunaphakade.
