Ingoma yombongo

Umhobe kaDavide.

1 Ndakhala ndijonge *kuNdikhoyo,

wada wandiva ndakuzibika kuye.

2 Wandikhupha emhadini onengozi, nasemgxobhozweni,

wandibeka endaweni eyomileyo,

ndatsho ndee ngxishishi, ndema.

3 Wandifundisa ingoma yombongo entsha,

ingoma yokubonga uThixo wethu.

Boyika abaninzi bakuyiqonda loo nto,

balibeka kuNdikhoyo ithemba labo.

4 Hay’ uyolo lomntu othembele ngoNdikhoyo,

ongadlelaniyo nabanekratshi, abo banqula izithixo.

5 Mikhulu, Ndikhoyo, Thixo wam, imimangaliso osenzele yona.

Kukwangako nokusazelelela kwakho;

akakho onjengawe, Nkosi!

Ngeba ndiyabalisa, koko ndiswel’ imilomo eliwaka.

6 Wena akuwananze nganto amadini neminikelo,

akuwathandanga amadini atshiswayo nawesono,

kambe ke undinike indlebe evayo.

7 Kungoko ke ndathi mna:

“Njengoko kubhaliwe ngam encwadini, ewe, ndim lo.

8 Iyandivuyisa intando yakho, Thixo wam;

umthetho wakho ndiwumilisele entliziyweni.”

9 Ndizixelile ebandleni iindaba zakho zosindiso;

Ndikhoyo, uyazi ukuba andikuyeka ukuzibalisa.

10 Andilufihlanga udaba losindiso lwakho;

bendisoloko ndibalisa ngokunyaniseka noncedo lwakho;

andilifihlelanga ibandla lakho izibele zakho nenyaniso yakho.

11 Uzungandibandezeli inceba yakho, Ndikhoyo;

ndilondoloze ngenceba nenyaniso.

Ukucela uncedo

12 Zindivelela macal’ onke iingxaki.

Ndixakene nezono zam, azindiphi mtyhi konke.

Nditsho ndatyhafa, kuba zininzi ngangeenwele zentloko yam.

13 Khawuncede undihlangule, *Ndikhoyo!

Phuthuma, Ndikhoyo, undincede!

14 Mabadane badideke abandizondayo;

mabarhoxe baphoxeke abazungula ukundenzakalisa.

15 Mabajike benyoshoza abo bathi tshotsho vityo.

16 Abakulangazelelayo mabavuye bagcobe ngawe;

abaluthandayo usindiso lwakho mabangaphezi ukuthi:

“Huntshu – uyingangalala uNdikhoyo!”

17 Ke mna ndilihlwepu, ndiludwayi;

awu, Nkosi, khawundivelele!

Umncedi nomhlanguli wam nguwe;

sukuba saphozisa maseko, Thixo wam!
