Ukulinda kukaDavide Ethe Cwaka
Kumongameli weemvumi. KuYedutun. Umhobe kaDavide.
UDavide wazama ukungathethi nto ngexa abakhohlakeleyo babebukele, waza ukuthula kwayenza intlungu yakhe yaba mbi ngakumbi yade yaqhuma. Oko kuphumayo sisicelo sokuba uBawo wakhe ambonise indlela obufutshane ngayo ubomi—iintupha ezimbalwa, umphefumlo nje—nokukhululeka ngaphambi kokuba emke.
39 1Ndathi: “Ndiza kuzigcina iindlela zam ukuze ndingoni ngolwimi lwam; ndiza kufaka isayeke emlonyeni wam, ngeli xesha abakhohlakeleyo bendijikelezile.” 2Ndathi tu, ndathula; ndathula nkqu nangezinto ezilungileyo, yaza intlungu yam yaqatsela. 3Intliziyo yam yaba shushu ngaphakathi kwam; ndathi ndakucamngca ngayo, wavutha umlilo; ndaza ndathetha: 4Ndibonise isiphelo sam, Bawo, nokuba ungakanani na umlinganiso wemihla yam; mandazi indlela endidlula ngokukhawuleza ngayo.
5Khangela, imihla yam uyenze yaba ziintupha ezimbalwa ubude bayo, nobomi bam abuyonto konke kuwe. Inene, wonke umntu ngumphefumlo nje. 6Inene, wonke umntu uhamba-hamba njengesithunzi; inene, konke ukuphithizela kwabo akunto yanto; ufumba ubutyebi angazi nokuba ngubani oya kubuqokelela. 7Ngoku ke, Bawo oyiNkosi, ndilindele ntoni na? Ithemba lam likuwe. 8Ndihlangule kuzo zonke iimvukelo zam; ungandenzi into yokugculelwa sisidenge. 9Ndithe tu; andiwuvuli umlomo wam, kuba nguwe owenze oku. 10Susa isibetho sakho kum; ndigqityiwe yimbetho yesandla sakho.
11Ngezohlwayo uyamohlwaya umntu ngenxa yesono; udla oko akuxabisileyo njengenundu; inene, wonke umntu ngumphefumlo nje. 12Yiva umthandazo wam, Bawo, uphulaphule ukukhala kwam; musa ukungananzi iinyembezi zam; kuba ndingumhambi nje kuwe, undwendwe njengabo bonke ookhokho bam. 13Susa amehlo akho kum, ukuze ndibuye ndonwabe, phambi kokuba ndimke ndingabi sabakho.
