Ukucela uncedo

Umhobe kaDavide; kumbhexeshi-kwayara; uvunywa ngebhasi.

1 Nceda, *Ndikhoyo!

Akukho namnye umnt’ olungileyo;

baphelile abantw’ abathembekileyo.

2 Bathetha ubuxok’ abantu, bekhohlisana.

Bav’ amantyontyelo baxokisane ngeentethw’ ezimbaxa.

3 Wobaqhawul’ imilebe uNdikhoyo abantw’ abakhohlisayo;

wobashunqul’ iilwimi abantw’ abazigwagwisayo.

4 Nditsho nkqu abo bathi: “Sophumelela ngolwimi lwethu.

Iyeyethu nje imilebe le, ngubani owosixelela emasikuthethe?”

5 “Ndiza kulamla ke ngoku,” utsho uNdikhoyo,

“ngenxa yokuba amahlwempu ayacinezelwa,

neentsizana ziyancwina.

Ndobanika oko kuphumla bakulangazelelayo.”

6-7 Zithembekile izithembiso zikaNdikhoyo,

azinasibhidi, zinjengesiliva enyityilikiswe eziko kasixhenxe.

Uzigcinile izithembiso zakho, Ndikhoyo;

sigcine sikhuselekile kubantw’ abagwenxa.

8 Basingqonge macal’ onke abantw’ abagwenxa,

lo gama wonke ubani ekuvuyela ukungcola.
