Liwa lam, Musa Ukuthi Cwaka
Umhobe kaDavide.
Uloyiko lukaDavide kukuthula: ukuba uBawo wakhe, iLiwa lakhe, akaphenduli, sele ephakathi kwabafileyo. Ucela ukuba angarhuqelwa kunye namadoda athetha amazwi obuhlobo esafihle ububi. Esazulwini somthandazo uyavakala, uze umthandazo uphenduke umbulelo.
28 1Kuwe, Bawo wam, ndiyadanduluka; Liwa lam, ungabi sithulu kum, kuba ukuba uthi cwaka kum, ndiya kuba njengabo behlela emhadini.
2Khawuve izibongozo zam zenceba xa ndikhala kuwe ndicela uncedo, xa ndiphakamisa izandla zam ngasendaweni yakho engcwele.
3Musa ukundirhuqela nabakhohlakeleyo, nabo benza ububi, abathetha amazwi obuhlobo kubamelwane babo, lo gama ububi busezintliziyweni zabo. 4Baphindisele ngokwezenzo zabo, ngokobubi bezenzo zabo; baphindisele ngokomsebenzi wezandla zabo; babuyisele phezu kwabo oko bakufaneleyo. 5Ngenxa yokuba bengayikhathaleli imisebenzi kaBawo wam nomsebenzi wezandla zakhe, uya kubadiliza, angaze aphinde abakhe.
6Makabongwe uBawo wethu, kuba ezivile izibongozo zam zenceba. 7UBawo wam ungamandla am nekhaka lam; intliziyo yam ithembele kuye, ndaye ndancedwa. Intliziyo yam iyaxhuma luvuyo, ndaye ndimbulela ngengoma yam.
8UBawo wam ungamandla abantu bakhe; uyinqaba yosindiso yomthanjiswa wakhe. 9Basindise abantu bakho, ulisikelele ilifa lakho; ubaluse, ubathwale ngonaphakade.
