Ndiyazolula Izandla Zam Kuwe
Umhobe kaDavide.
Esukelwa etyunyuzelwa emhlabeni, ucela ukuba angaziswa ekugwetyweni, kuba akukho namnye ophilileyo olilungisa phambi koBawo wakhe. Ukhumbula imisebenzi yamandulo ukuze asinde kowangoku, acele izinto ezimbini: ilizwi kusasa, nomhlaba othe tye.
143 1Bawo wam, yiva umthandazo wam; uphulaphule ukutarhuzisa kwam; undiphendule ngokuthembeka kwakho, ngobulungisa bakho. 2Musa ukumzisa umkhonzi wakho ekugwetyweni, kuba akukho namnye ophilileyo olilungisa phambi kwakho. a a v2 UPawulos wayisebenzisa le ndinyana ukufundisa ukuba akukho bani olungisiswayo kuBawo wethu ngemisebenzi yakhe — kuphela ngokukholwa kuYesu. 3Kuba utshaba luwusukele umphefumlo wam; lubutyumzele emhlabeni ubomi bam; lundihlalise ebumnyameni njengabo bafa kudala. 4Umoya wam uyaphela ngaphakathi kwam; intliziyo yam ingaphakathi kwam imangalisiwe. 5Ndiyayikhumbula imihla yamandulo; ndicamngca ngako konke okwenzileyo; ndicinga ngomsebenzi wezandla zakho. 6Ndiyazolula izandla zam kuwe; umphefumlo wam unxanelwe wena njengelizwe elomileyo.
7Ndiphendule ngokukhawuleza, Bawo wam; umoya wam uyaphela. Musa ukusithelisa ubuso bakho kum, hleze ndibe njengabo behlela emhadini. 8Ndivise ngenceba yakho kusasa, kuba ndikholose ngawe. Ndibonise indlela endimelwe ukuhamba ngayo, kuba umphefumlo wam ndiwuphakamisela kuwe. 9Ndihlangule ezintshabeni zam, Bawo wam; ndisabele kuwe ukuba ndizimele. 10Ndifundise ukwenza ukuthanda kwakho, kuba unguBawo wam; uMoya wakho olungileyo mawundikhokele emhlabeni othe tye. 11Ngenxa yegama lakho, Bawo wam, ndisindise ubomi bam; ngobulungisa bakho wukhuphe umphefumlo wam embandezelweni. 12Kananjalo ngenceba yakho uya kuzinqumla iintshaba zam, uzitshabalalise bonke ababandezeli bomphefumlo wam, kuba ndingumkhonzi wakho.
