UMiktam eGati
Kumongameli weemvumi: ngokwengoma ethi “Ihobe elikwiminquma ekude.” KaDavide. Umhobe wegolide, xa amaFilisti ambamba eGati.
Ebanjwe ngamaFilisti eGati waza wanyathelwa imini yonke, uDavide ucela ukuba iinyembezi zakhe ziqokelelwe embodleleni zigcinwe zibhaliwe. Kabini uphinda umgca wakhe ozinzileyo: kuBawo wam ndithembela — bangandenza ntoni na abantu abafayo?
56 1Ndibabale, Bawo wam, kuba abantu bayandinyathela; imini yonke umhlaseli uyandicinezela. 2Iintshaba zam zindinyathela imini yonke; baninzi abalwa nam benekratshi. 3Xa ndisoyika, ndibeka ithemba lam kuwe.
4KuBawo wam, endilidumisayo ilizwi lakhe— kuBawo wam ndithembela; andiyi kuba naloyiko. Bangandenza ntoni na abantu abafayo? 5Imini yonke bayawagqwetha amazwi am; zonke iingcinga zabo ngam zimbi. 6Bayahlangana, balalele; bagada amanyathelo am, benethemba lokuthabatha ubomi bam.
7Baya kuphepha na ngenxa yenkohlakalo yabo? Ngomsindo zithobe izizwe, Bawo wam. 8Ubalile ukubhadula kwam; beka iinyembezi zam embodleleni yakho. Azibhalwanga na encwadini yakho?
9Ngoko ke iintshaba zam ziya kubuya umva xa ndibiza. Oku ndiyakwazi: ukuba uBawo wam ungakum. 10KuBawo wam ndidumisa ilizwi lakhe; kuBawo wam ndidumisa ilizwi lakhe.
11KuBawo wam ndithembela; andiyi kuba naloyiko. Bangandenza ntoni na abantu abafayo? 12Izifungo zakho zikum, Bawo wam; ndiya kunikela ngeminikelo yombulelo kuwe. 13Kuba uwuhlangule umphefumlo wam ekufeni—ewe, iinyawo zam ekukhubekeni— ukuze ndihambe phambi koBawo wam ekukhanyeni kobomi.
