Inhliziyo Yami Iqinile
Ingoma. Isihlabelelo sikaDavide.
Lihlanganiswe kusukela emahubweni amabili angaphambili kaDavide: umculo wasekuseni ovusa ukusa, bese kuba ukuziqhayisa kwakudala kukaBaba wethu ngobunikazi bakhe phezu kweShekemi, iGileyadi ne-Edomi. Phakathi kwakho kukhona umugqa ozolile wokuthi ukuhlenga komuntu kuyize, nokunxusa usizo lwangempela.
108 1Inhliziyo yami iqinile, Baba; ngizohlabelela ngenze umculo ngakho konke engiyikho. 2Vukani, gubhu nechacho! Ngizolivusa ukusa. 3Ngizokudumisa phakathi kwabantu, Baba; ngizokwenzela umculo phakathi kwezizwe. 4Ngokuba uthando lwakho lwesivumelwano lukhulu, luphakeme kunamazulu, nokuthembeka kwakho kufinyelela esibhakabhakeni.
5Phakanyiswa, Baba, ngaphezu kwamazulu, inkazimulo yakho ibe phezu komhlaba wonke. 6Sisindise ngesandla sakho sokunene, ungiphendule, ukuze labo obathandayo bakhululwe.
7UBaba wethu ukhulumile ebungcweleni bakhe: “Ngokunqoba ngizokwaba iShekemu ngilinganise iSigodi saseSukoti. 8IGileyadi ngeyami, iManase ngeyami; u-Efrayimi uyisigqoko sami sensimbi, uJuda uyintonga yami yobukhosi.
9IMowabi yindishi yami yokugeza; phezu kwe-Edomi ngiphonsa imbadada yami; ngimemeza ngokunqoba phezu kweFilistiya.”
10Ngubani oyongisa emzini obiyelwe ngezinqaba? Ngubani oyongiholela e-Edomi? 11Akunguwe yini, Baba, owake wasilahla, ongasaphumi namabutho ethu? 12Siphe usizo ekulweni nesitha, ngokuba ukusindisa kwabantu kuyize. 13NoBaba wethu sizozuza ukunqoba, yena uzozinyathela izitha zethu.
