Ngikhashelwe Umngane Wami Siqu
Kumqondisi womculo: ngezinto zomculo ezinezintambo. Ihubo lokuhlakanipha likaDavide.
Ukwesaba nokuthuthumela; umhubi ufisa amaphiko ejuba ukuze andizele ehlane. Ubuhlungu obukhulu akubona udlame olugcwalisa umuzi, kodwa ngumlingane wakhe, umngane oseduze owahamba naye endlini kaBaba wethu, wabe esephula ukwethembeka.
55 1Yizwa umkhuleko wami, Baba wami, ungazifihli ekunxuseni kwami umusa. 2Ngilalele ungiphendule; angizoli ekukhalazeni kwami, ngiyabubula, 3ngenxa yezwi lesitha, ngenxa yokucindezela kwababi. Ngokuba bangehlisela inkathazo, futhi ngentukuthelo bangibambela igqubu. 4Inhliziyo yami iyasonteka ngaphakathi kwami; izethuso zokufa ziwele phezu kwami. 5Ukwesaba nokuthuthumela kuyangifikela, novalo lungigubuzele. 6Ngathi: “Awu, sengathi nginganamaphiko njengejuba! Bengingandiza ngiye kophumula.
7Yebo, bengingazulazula ngiye kude; bengingakhosela ehlane. a a v7 Selah: igama lomculo noma elenkonzo elingacaci ngokusho kwalo, cishe kuyisikhathi sokukhefuza ukuze kuzindlwe noma kuyisikhawu somculo. 8Bengingaphuthuma endaweni yami yokukhosela, kude nomoya ovunguzayo nesivunguvungu.” 9Badidanise, Baba oyiNkosi; hlukanisa inkulumo yabo, ngokuba ngibona udlame nombango edolobheni. 10Imini nobusuku bayazulazula phezu kwezindonga zalo; ububi nenkathazo kuphakathi kwalo. 11Incithakalo iphakathi kwalo; ukucindezela nenkohliso akusuki ezitaladini zalo. 12Ngokuba akusona isitha esingiklolodelayo—lokho bengingakuthwala; akusona ongizondayo oziphakamisayo phezu kwami—kuye bengingacasha. 13Kodwa nguwe, umuntu olingana nami, umkhaphi wami nomngane wami oseduze. 14Thina esasihlanganyela ubudlelwane obumnandi ndawonye, esahamba nesixuku saya endlini kaBaba wethu. 15Ukufa makubehlele; mabehlele ethuneni besaphila, ngokuba ububi busendaweni yabo yokuhlala, phakathi kwabo impela. 16Kodwa mina ngibiza kuBaba wami, uBaba wami uzongisindisa. 17Kusihlwa nasekuseni nasemini bebade ngiyakhala ngibubule, uyalizwa izwi lami. 18Uwuhlengile umphefumulo wami ngokuthula empini ebimelene nami, nakuba bebaningi abangivukelayo.
19uBaba wethu uzokuzwa abathobe—yena ohlezi esihlalweni sobukhosi kusukela endulo. Ngokuba abaguquki, 20Umkhapheli uphakamisele izandla zakhe kulabo abanokuthula naye; wephule isivumelwano sakhe. 21Inkulumo yakhe yayibushelelezi kunebhotela, kodwa impi yayisenhliziyweni yakhe; amazwi akhe ayethambe kunamafutha, kodwa ayeyizinkemba ezihoshiwe. 22Beka umthwalo wakho kuBaba wethu, uzokusekela; akasoze avumele olungileyo ukuba anyakaziswe. 23Kodwa wena, Baba wami, uzobehlisa phansi emgodini wokubhujiswa; amadoda achitha igazi nenkohliso ngeke aphile ngisho nengxenye yezinsuku zawo. Kodwa mina ngizokwethemba kuwe.
