Amahubo 139:1-24

Kumholi wokuhlabelela, ihubo likaDavide. Jehova, uyangihlolisisa, uyangazi. Uyalwazi usizi lwami nokuhlubuka kwami, uqonda imicabango yami ukude. Uyahamba endleleni yami nombhede wami, futhi uyazazi zonke izindlela zami. Ngokuba alikho izwi olimini lwami, kepha bheka, Jehova, wena ulazi lonke. Wangizungeza ngemuva nangemuva, wabeka isandla sakho phezu kwami. Ulwazi olunjalo luyangimangalisa; iphakeme, angikwazi ukuyifinyelela. Ngiyakuyaphi ngisuka emoyeni wakho na? noma ngingabalekelaphi ebusweni bakho na? Lapho ngikhuphukela ezulwini, ulapho; lapho ngendlala umbhede wami esihogweni, bheka, Ukhona. Uma ngithatha amaphiko okusa, ngiphile ekupheleni kolwandle; Nalapho isandla sakho siyakungihola, esokunene sakho singibambe. Uma ngithi: Impela, ubumnyama buyangisibekela; nobusuku buyakuba ngukukhanya phezu kwami. Yebo, ubumnyama abucasuki kuwe; kepha ubusuku bukhanya njengemini: ubumnyama nokukhanya kungokwenu. Ngokuba uzithathile izinso zami, wangembesa esiswini sikamame. Ngifuna ukukudumisa; ngokuba ngenziwa ngokwesabekayo nangokumangalisayo; iyamangalisa imisebenzi yakho; nokuthi umphefumulo wami ukwazi kahle. Impahla yami yayingafihlekile kuwe, lapho ngenziwa ekusithekeni, ngenziwa ngokumangalisayo ezindaweni eziphansi kakhulu zomhlaba. Amehlo akho angibona kahle, nokho ngingaphelele; futhi encwadini yakho kulotshiwe wonke amalungu ami abunjwa kungekho nelilodwa lawo. Iyigugu kangakanani kimi imicabango yakho, Nkulunkulu! inkulu kangakanani ingqikithi yakho! Lapho ngibala, miningi kunesihlabathi; lapho ngivuka, ngisenawe. Impela uyakubulala ababi, Nkulunkulu; Ngokuba bakhuluma kabi ngawe, nezitha zakho ziliphatha ngeze igama lakho. Anginabo yini abakuzondayo, Jehova? futhi angidabukile yini ngabakuvukelayo? Ngiyabazonda ngenzondo epheleleyo, ngibabheka njengezitha zami. Ngihlole, Nkulunkulu, wazi inhliziyo yami; ngivivinye, wazi imicabango yami. Futhi ubone uma kukhona indlela embi kimi, futhi ungihole endleleni yaphakade.
