Umthandazo wokucela uncedo ngokuhlwa

Umhobe kaDavide; kumbhexeshi-kwayara; uphelekwa ngeentambula.

1 Ndiphendule ndakukhala kuwe,

Thixo, mlondolozi wamalungelo am!

Wandikhulula embandezelweni yam;

yiba nenceba ke ngoko, uwuve umthandazo wam.

2 Bantundini, koda kube nini na nindihlazisa?

koda kube nini nithand’ ilize, niphuthaphuth’ ubuxoki?

3 Yazini ke ukuba *uNdikhoyo uyabathand’ abantu bakhe;

uyandiva xa ndizibika kuye.

4 Xa niqumbileyo, ze ningoni;

loo nto yetyiseni nithe cwaka kwiimandlalo zenu.

5 Menzeleni amadini alungileyo,

nikholose ngaye uNdikhoyo.

6 Baninzi abalangazelela okulungileyo.

Ndikhoyo, sikhangele ngobubele,

7 usiphe ukuchulumacha okudlula okwâbo

bakufumana ngomdliva wengqolowa newayini.

8 Ndiya kuphumla ngenzolo, ndilale;

nguwe kuphela kaloku, Ndikhoyo, ondinqabisayo.
