Ubunzima besono sam

Umhobe kaDavide, wokukhumbuza.

Egula, amanxeba akhe ebola, eshiywe ngabahlobo ngexa iintshaba ziceba, uDavide ulandela imeko yakhe ade afike kwisono sakhe, yaye akayi kuphikisana nabammangalelayo. Uhlala ethe cwaka njengesithulu, alindele uBawo wakhe, yena yedwa alindele ukuba amphendule.

Isahluko 38.

Bawo wam, musa ukundikhalimela ngomsindo wakho, ungandohlwayi ngobushushu bakho. Kaloku iintolo zakho zitshone nzulu kum, nesandla sakho sehle nzima phezu kwam. Akukho mpilo emzimbeni wam ngenxa yomsindo wakho; akukho kuphila emathanjeni am ngenxa yesono sam.

Kaloku izono zam zinyukele ngaphezu kwentloko yam; njengomthwalo onzima, zindisinda ngobunzima. Amanxeba am anuka, abolile ngenxa yobudenge bam. Ndigobile, ndathobeka kakhulu; imini yonke ndihamba ndikhedamile. Kaloku amacala am avutha umlilo, akukho kuphila enyameni yam.

Ndityhafile, ndaphukile kuphele; ndiyagquma ngenxa yenkathazo yentliziyo yam. Bawo oyiNkosi, konke ukulangazelela kwam kuphambi kwakho, nokugcuma kwam akufihlakalanga kuwe. Intliziyo yam iyabetha, amandla am ayandiphelela; nokukhanya kwamehlo am kundishiyile. Abahlobo bam namaqabane am bema kude nembandezelo yam, nezizalwana zam ezisondeleyo zime kude.

Abafuna ubomi bam bathiya izibatha zabo; abafuna ukundenzakalisa bathetha ngentshabalalo, baceba inkohliso imini yonke. Kodwa mna ndinjengesithulu esingevayo, njengongenakuthetha, ongathi awuvule umlomo wakhe. Ndiphenduke ngathi ndingumntu ongevayo, ongenampendulo emlonyeni wakhe. Kodwa ndilindele wena, Bawo wam; nguwe oya kuphendula, Bawo wam oyiNkosi.

Kaloku ndathi: “Mabangaze bandigculele —abo baqhayisa ngam xa unyawo lwam lutyibilika.” Kaloku ndisele ndiza kuwa, nentlungu yam ihlala iphambi kwam. Ndiyalivuma ityala lam; ndikhathazekile sisono sam. Kodwa iintshaba zam zinamandla, zomelele, baninzi abo bandithiya ngelize.

Abo bandibuyekeza ububi esikhundleni sokulungileyo bayandimangalela, ngenxa yokuba ndiphuthuma okulungileyo. Musa ukundishiya, Bawo wam; ungemi kude nam, Bawo wam. Khawuleza undincede, Bawo oyiNkosi, lusindiso lwam.
