88 1uBaba wensindiso yami, emini ngiyakhala, nasebusuku ngikhala phambi kwakho. 2Umkhuleko wami mawufike phambi kwakho; thobisa indlebe yakho esililweni sami. 3Ngokuba umphefumulo wami ugcwele izinhlupheko, nokuphila kwami kusondela engcwabeni. 4Ngibalwa kanye nalabo abehlela egodini; sengifana nomuntu ongenamandla. 5Ngilahliwe phakathi kwabafileyo, njengababuleweyo abalele engcwabeni, ongasabakhumbuli, ngokuba banqunyulwe esandleni sakho. 6Ungibeke ekujuleni kwegodi, ezindaweni ezimnyama, ezinzikini. 7Ulaka lwakho lusindela phezu kwami, ungigubuzela ngawo wonke amagagasi akho.
8Ususe abangane bami kude nami; ungenze ngaba yinto enengekayo kubo. Ngivalelwe ngangenakuphunyuka; 9iso lami lifiphala ngenxa yosizi. Usuku ngalunye ngiyakubiza, Baba wami; ngelulela izandla zami kuwe. 10Wenza izimangaliso yini kwabafileyo? Abahambileyo bayavuka yini ukuba bakudumise?
11Umusa wakho wesivumelwano uyamenyezelwa yini engcwabeni, nokwethembeka kwakho eNcithakalweni? a a v11 Abhadoni: ligama lesiHebheru elisho 'incithakalo,' igama lendawo esekujuleni kakhulu yabafileyo. 12Izimangaliso zakho ziyaziwa yini ebumnyameni, noma ukulunga kwakho ezweni lokukhohlwa? 13Kodwa ngikhala kuwe ngicela usizo, Baba wami; ekuseni umkhuleko wami ufika phambi kwakho. 14Kungani, Baba wami, ulahla umphefumulo wami? Kungani ufihla ubuso bakho kimi? 15Ngihluphekile ngisondele ekufeni kwasebusheni bami, ngithwele izesabiso zakho; sengiphelelwe yithemba. 16Intukuthelo yakho evuthayo ingikhukhulele phezu kwami; ukuhlasela kwakho okwesabekayo kuyangibhubhisa. 17Kungizungeza njengezikhukhula usuku lonke; kungihaqa ndawonye. 18Ususe othandekayo nomngane kude nami; abangane bami basebumnyameni.
