Ihubo 132
Ingoma yemiqanso.
1 Oh Thixo, khumbula uDavida
ngezinhlupheko zonke azibhenselayo.
2 Wafunga isifungo kuThixo
wenza isithembiso kuMninimandla kaJakhobe:
3 “Angizukungena endlini yami
loba ngiye embhedeni wami,
4 angiyikuwavumela amehlo ami ubuthongo,
akukuba lakuwozela enkopheni zami,
5 ngize ngifumane indawo kaThixo,
indawo yokuhlala uMninimandla kaJakhobe.”
6 Sakuzwa lokhu e-Efrathi,
sakubona emangweni waseJayari:
7 “Kasiye lapho ahlala khona;
kasikhonze phansi kwesihlalo sakhe.
8 Phakama, Oh Thixo, ubuye endaweni yakho yokuphumula,
wena umtshokotsho wesivumelwano elitshengisa amandla akho.
9 Sengathi abaphristi bakho bangembeswa ngokulunga;
sengathi labathembekileyo bakho bangahlabelela ngentokozo.”
10 Ngenxa yenceku yakho uDavida,
ungamfulatheli ogcotshiweyo wakho.
11 UThixo wenza isifungo kuDavida,
isifungo esiqinileyo angakusaphula wathi:
“Omunye wezizukulwane zakho
ngizambeka esihlalweni sakho sobukhosi
12 aluba amadodana akho egcina isivumelwano sami
lezimiso engibafundisa zona,
lapho-ke amadodana abo azahlala esihlalweni sakho
sobukhosi kuze kube nini lanini.”
13 Ngoba uThixo uyikhethile iZiyoni,
uyithandile ukuba yindawo yakhe yokuhlala:
14 “Le yindawo yami yokuphumula lanini;
lapha ngizahlala ngisebukhosini, ngoba ngiyithandile
15 ngizayibusisa ngokudla okunengi;
abayanga bayo ngizabasuthisa ngokudla.
16 Ngizavunulisa abaphristi bayo ngensindiso,
labathembekileyo bakhe bazahlabelela ngentokozo nini lanini.
17 Lapha ngizakhulisa uphondo lukaDavida
ngilungisele ogcotshiweyo wami isibane.
18 Ngizakwembathisa izitha ngehlazo,
kodwa umqhele osekhanda lakhe uzakhazimula.”
