Ukuzimisela kokumkani

Umhobe kaDavide.

1 Igwijo lam lingentembeko nokulunga;

ndiya kukombelela lona, *Ndikhoyo.

2 Ndisoloko ndikuhlonela;

woda ufike nini na, Mhlekazi?

Ndohlala ndimsulwa emzini wam;

3 andisayi kumelana nobutshijolo.

Ndizithiyil’ izimilo zabangahloneli Thixo;

andihambisani nazo mpela.

4 Andiyi kungathembeki;

andiyi kusondela ebubini.

5 Ndomlumkela umnt’ onentlebendwane,

ndingalinyamezeli ikratsha negumasholo.

6 Ndobamkela abahlonela uThixo kwibhotwe lam,

amagosa am abe ngabantw’ abathembekileyo.

7 Akukho mkhohlisi uya kuba semzini wam,

naxoki liya kuhlala apho ndikhoyo.

8 Ndowatshabalalisa rhoqo onke amatshijolo elizweni,

ndibagxoth’ abantw’ abagwenxa emzini kaNdikhoyo.
