Ukukhanya Kwam, iNqaba Yam

EkaDavide.

UDavide ukwingozi yokwenene—imikhosi, amangqina obuxoki, kwanaloyiko lokuba abazali bakhe bangamshiya. Impendulo yakhe asikuba ingozi incinane, kodwa yeyokuba uBawo wakhe usondele ngaphezu kwayo. Ucela into enye: ukuhlala ebukhoni bukaBawo wakhe.

Isahluko 27.

uBawo wam ulukhanyiso lwam nosindiso lwam—ndingamoyika bani na? uBawo wam uligwiba lobomi bam—ndingankwantyiswa ngubani na?

Xa abenzi bobubi besondela kum ukuze badle inyama yam— ababandezeli bam neentshaba zam—ngabo abakhubekayo bawe. Nokuba umkhosi ungamisa inkampu ukundichasa, intliziyo yam ayiyi koyika; nokuba imfazwe ingavuka ukundichasa, kwanangoko ndiya kuzithemba.

Nto-nye endiyicele kuBawo wam, yiyo le ndiyifunayo: ukuba ndihlale endlwini yakhe yonke imihla yobomi bam, ndibukele ubuhle bakhe ndimfune nasetempileni yakhe. Kuba uya kundifihla emnqubeni wakhe xa ifika inkathazo; uya kundisithelisa phantsi kwesigubungelo sentente yakhe; uya kundibeka phezulu phezu kweliwa. Kaloku ngoku intloko yam iya kuphakanyiswa phezulu phezu kweentshaba zam ezindingqingileyo, ndaye ndiya kunikela ngemibingelelo ententeni yakhe ngezikhalo zovuyo; ndiya kuvuma ndibethe uhadi kuBawo wam.

Live izwi lam, Bawo wam, xa ndidanduluka; ndibabale undiphendule. Intliziyo yam ithi ngawe: “Funa ubuso bakhe.” Ubuso bakho, Bawo wam, ndibufunayo. Musa ukubufihla ubuso bakho kum; musa ukusigxotha isicaka sakho ngomsindo—wena ube uluncedo lwam. Musa ukundilahla okanye undishiye, Bawo wam, sindiso lwam. Nokuba ubawo wam noma wam bangandishiya, uBawo wam uya kundamkela. ^a

Ndifundise indlela yakho, Bawo wam, undikhokele endleleni ethe tyaba ngenxa yabo bandilalelayo. Musa ukundinikela entandweni yababandezeli bam, kuba amangqina obuxoki avukile ukundichasa, ephefumla ugonyamelo.

Ndiqinisekile ngale nto: ndiya kukubona ukulunga kukaBawo wam ezweni labaphilayo. Lindela uBawo wethu; yomelela, intliziyo yakho mayikhaliphe; lindela uBawo wethu.
