Amahubo 10:1-18

Jehova, umeleni kude na? nicashelani ngezikhathi zokuhlupheka na? Omubi ngokuzigqaja kwakhe uyazingela ompofu; mababanjwe ngamasu abawaqambile. Ngokuba omubi uyazigabisa ngokufisa kwenhliziyo yakhe, abusise ohahayo, uJehova amzondayo. Omubi akayikumfuna uNkulunkulu ngokuzikhukhumeza kobuso bakhe; uNkulunkulu akekho kuyo yonke imicabango yakhe. Izindlela zakhe zinzima njalo; izahlulelo zakho zikude nobuso bakhe; zonke izitha zakhe, Uzivuthela phezu kwazo. Wathi enhliziyweni yakhe: “Angiyikunyakaziswa, ngokuba angiyikuba sebubini kuze kube phakade.” Umlomo wakhe ugcwele isiqalekiso nenkohliso nenkohliso; ngaphansi kolimi lwakhe kukhona okubi nokubi. Uhlezi eziphepheni zemizi; ekucashile uyabulala ongenacala; amehlo akhe aphezu kwabampofu. Uqamekela njengengonyama emphandwini wayo; uqamekela ukubamba abampofu; uyabamba ompofu lapho emdonsela enetheni lakhe. Uyaguqa futhi uyazithoba, ukuze ompofu awe kanye namandla akhe. Wathi enhliziyweni yakhe: “UNkulunkulu ukhohliwe; Uyafihla ubuso bakhe; akasoze ayibona. Vuka, Jehova; O Nkulunkulu, phakamisa isandla sakho; ningabakhohlwa abathobekileyo. Kungani ababi bedelela uNkulunkulu? wathi enhliziyweni yakhe: Kawuyikufuna. Wena wakubona; ngokuba ubona ububi nobubi ukuba ukuphindise ngakho ngesandla sakho; abampofu bayazinikela kuwe; ungumsizi wentandane. Uyaphula ingalo yomubi kanye nomubi; funani ububi bakhe, nize ningabufumani. UJehova uyinkosi kuze kube phakade naphakade; izizwe zabhubha ezweni lakhe. Nkosi, uzwile isifiso sabathobekileyo; Uyakulungisa inhliziyo yabo, wenze indlebe yakho izwe. Ukwahlulela izintandane nabacindezelweyo, ukuze umuntu wasemhlabeni angabe esacindezela.
