Amehlo Agxile Kuwe
Ihubo likaDavide.
Umkhuleko wakusihlwa onikelwa njengempepho. Lokho acela uBaba wakhe ukuba akugade kungumlomo wakhe nesifiso sakhe — ukuze angahlangani nabenzi bobubi noma athokozele ukudla kwabo okumnandi — futhi wamukela ukusolwa ngumuntu olungileyo njengamafutha ekhanda lakhe.
141 1Baba wami, ngimemeza kuwe; woza masinyane kimi. Lalela izwi lami lapho ngikhala kuwe.
2Umkhuleko wami mawenyuke phambi kwakho njengempepho, ukuphakamisa kwezandla zami kube njengomnikelo wakusihlwa.
3Beka umlindi, Baba wami, emlonyeni wami; qapha umnyango wezindebe zami. 4Ungavumeli inhliziyo yami ithambekele kokubi, ukuba ihlanganyele ezenzweni ezimbi kanye nabenza okubi; futhi ungangivumeli ngizitike ngezibiliboco zabo.
5Olungileyo makangishaye— kungumusa; makangiqondise—kungamafutha ekhanda lami; ikhanda lami ngeke liwenqabe. Kodwa umkhuleko wami uhlala umelene nezenzo zababi.
6Lapho ababusi babo bephoselwa phansi emaweni amadwala, khona-ke abantu bayakuwezwa amazwi ami, ngokuba amnandi. 7Njengoba umuntu elima eqhekeza umhlabathi, kanjalo amathambo ethu ahlakazekile emlonyeni wethuna.
8Kodwa amehlo ami agxile kuwe, Baba wami oyiNkosi; kuwe ngiphephela— ungangishiyi ngingenasivikelo. 9Ngilonde kugibe abangithiyele lona, ezicuphweni zabenza okubi. 10Ababi mabawele emanetheni abo, kuthi mina ngedwa ngidlule ngiphephile.
