Dwala Lami, Ungathuli
ElikaDavida.
Ukwesaba kukaDavide ukuthula: uma uBaba wakhe, iDwala lakhe, engaphenduli, usevele uphakathi kwabafileyo. Ucela ukuthi angahudulwa kanye namadoda akhuluma amazwi obungane kanti efihla okubi. Phakathi nendawo uyezwakala, nomthandazo uba ukubonga.
28 1Kuwe, Baba wami, ngiyakhala; Dwala lami, ungabi yisithulu kimi, ngokuba uma uthula kimi, ngiyakuba njengalabo abehlela emgodini.
2Yizwa ukukhala kwami ngomusa lapho ngimemeza kuwe ngicela usizo, lapho ngiphakamisela izandla zami ngasendlini yakho engcwele.
3Ungangihudulisi kanye nababi, kanye nalabo abenza okubi, abakhuluma amazwi obungani kubakhelwane babo kanti ububi busezinhliziyweni zabo. 4Baphindisele ngokwezenzo zabo, ngokobubi bezenzo zabo; baphindisele ngokomsebenzi wezandla zabo; buyisela phezu kwabo lokho okubafanele. 5Ngokuba abanandaba nemisebenzi kaBaba wami noma umsebenzi wezandla zakhe, uyakubadiliza angasoze abakhe.
6Makabongwe uBaba wethu, ngokuba uzwile ukukhala kwami ngomusa. 7UBaba wami ungamandla ami nesihlangu sami; inhliziyo yami ithemba kuye, futhi ngisiziwe. Inhliziyo yami iyagxuma ngenjabulo, ngiyambonga ngengoma yami.
8UBaba wami ungamandla abantu bakhe; uyinqaba yokusindisa yogcotshiweyo wakhe. 9Sindisa abantu bakho ubusise ifa lakho; ubeluse ubathwale kuze kube phakade.
