Amahubo 17:1-15

(Umkhuleko kaDavide.) Zwana, Jehova, mahluleli, uzwe ukukhala kwami, uzwe umkhuleko wami ongaphumi ezindebeni ezikhohlisayo. Ukwahlulela kwami makuphume ebusweni bakho; amehlo akho mawabone ukulingana. Uyihlolisisile inhliziyo yami; Wangivakashela ebusuku; ningilingile, anizukuthola lutho; Nganquma ukuthi umlomo wami awuyikweqa. Ngokuqondene nemisebenzi yabantu, ngezwi lezindebe zakho ngizigcinile ezindleleni zomchithi. Gcina izindlela zami ezindleleni zakho, ukuze izinyathelo zami zingasheleli. Ngikhala kuwe, ngokuba uyakungilalela, Nkulunkulu; beka indlebe yakho kimi, ulalele izwi lami. Bonisa umusa wakho omangalisayo, wena okhulula abathembela kuwe ngesandla sakho sokunene kulabo ababavukelayo. Ngigcine njengenhlamvu yeso, ungifihle ngaphansi komthunzi wamaphiko akho, Kubabi abangicindezelayo, nasezitheni zami ezibulalayo ezingihaqileyo. Bavalelwe emafutheni abo; ngomlomo wabo bakhuluma ngokuziqhenya. Manje basihaqile ezinyathelweni zethu; baphendulela amehlo abo emhlabeni; Njengengonyama ehahela impango, nanjengebhongo lengonyama elicasha ezindaweni zokucasha. Vuka, Jehova, umdumaze, umwise; sindisa umphefumulo wami kwababi, okuyinkemba yakho. Kubantu abayisandla sakho, Jehova, kubantu bomhlaba abanesabelo sabo kulokhu kuphila, nesisu sabo usigcwalisa ngengcebo yakho efihliweyo; bagcwele abantwana bashiyela abancane babo okusalayo. Mina-ke, ngizabubona ubuso bakho ekulungeni; Ngiyokwaneliswa ekuvukeni kwami, ngomfanekiso wakho.
