Ihubo 89
Ihubo lika-Ethani umEzira
1 Ngizahlabelela ngothando lukaThixo olukhulu lanininini;
ngomlomo wami ngizakwenza ukuthembeka kwakho kwaziwe
ezizukulwaneni zonke.
2 Ngizamemezela ukuthi uthando lwakho lumi luqinile laphakade,
ukuthi ukuthembeka kwakho wakugxilisa ezulwini uqobo.
3 Wathi, “Sengenze isivumelwano lalowo okhethiweyo wami,
sengifungile kuDavida inceku yami,
4 ‘Ngizawumisa umndeni wakho laphakade,
ngisiqinise isihlalo sakho sobukhosi
kuzozonke izizukulwane.’ ”
5 Amazulu ayazidumisa izimanga zakho, Oh Thixo,
lokuthembeka kwakho emhlanganweni wabangcwele.
6 Phela ngubani onjengoThixo phakathi kwabaphilayo ezulwini na?
Ngubani onjengoThixo phakathi kwabaphilayo ezulwini na?
7 Enhlanganisweni yabangcwele uNkulunkulu uyesatshwa kakhulu;
uyesabeka kulabo bonke abahlezi laye.
8 Yebo Thixo Nkulunkulu Somandla, ngubani onjengawe na?
Ulamandla, Oh Thixo, ukuthembeka kwakho kukuhonqolozele.
9 Uyabusa phezu kolwandle olugubhazelayo;
lapho amavinqo alo equbuka, uyawathulisa.
10 Wamchoboza uRahabi njengomunye wababuleweyo;
ngengalo yakho elamandla wazichitha izitha.
11 Ngawakho amazulu, ngowakho njalo lomhlaba;
wawudala umhlaba lakho konke okukuwo.
12 Wayidala inyakatho kanye leningizimu;
iThabhori leHemoni zihlabelela ibizo lakho ngentokozo.
13 Ingalo yakho igcwele amandla;
isandla sakho siqinile, esokunene siphakeme.
14 Ukulunga lokwahlulela kuhle yikho okuyinsika yesihlalo sakho sobukhosi;
uthando lokuthembeka kuhamba phambili kwakho.
15 Babusisiwe labo asebekufundile ukukubabaza,
abahamba ekukhanyeni kobukhona bakho, Oh Thixo.
16 Bayathokoza ngebizo lakho ilanga lonke;
bayagubhazela ngokulunga kwakho.
17 Ngoba uyibukhosi babo lamandla abo,
kuthi ngomusa wakho uphakamise uphondo lwethu.
18 Ngempela isihlangu sethu ngesikaThixo, iNkosi yethu
Kuye oYedwa oNgcwele ka-Israyeli.
19 Endulo wakhuluma ngombono,
ebantwini bakho abathembekileyo wathi:
“Sengiwehlisele amandla phezu kweqhawe;
sengiphakamise insizwa phakathi kwabantu.
20 Sengifumane uDavida inceku yami;
ngamafutha ami angcwele sengimgcobile.
21 Isandla sami sizamsekela;
ngempela ingalo yami izamqinisa.
22 Akulasitha esizamncindezela ukuthi athele kuso;
kakho umuntu omubi ozamcindezela.
23 Ngizazichoboza izitha zakhe phambi kwakhe
ngibalahlele phansi abalwa laye.
24 Uthando lwami oluthembekileyo luzaba laye,
ukuthi ngebizo lami luphakanyiswe uphondo lwakhe.
25 Ngizabeka isandla sakhe phezu kolwandle,
isandla sakhe sokunene phezu kwemifula.
26 Uzamemeza kimi athi, ‘UnguBaba,
Nkulunkulu wami, iDwala elinguMsindisi wami.’
27 Njalo ngizamisa abe lizibulo lami,
inkosi ephakeme ngaphezu kwawo wonke amakhosi omhlaba.
28 Ngizalugcina uthando lwami kuye laphakade,
lesivumelwano sami laye kasiyikuphela.
29 Inzalo yakhe ngizayimisa nini lanini,
lesihlalo sakhe sobukhosi kasiyikufa saphela.
30 Aluba amadodana akhe edela umlayo wami
angalandeli izimiso zami,
31 nxa besephula izimemezelo zami
behluleke ukugcina imiyalo yami,
32 ngizajezisa isono sabo ngoswazi,
lesiphambeko sabo ngokubatshaya;
33 kodwa kangiyikulususa uthando lwami kuye,
njalo kangisoze ngiguqule ukuthembeka kwami.
34 Kangiyikusephula isivumelwano sami
kumbe ngiguqule lokho okuphume ezindebeni zami.
35 Ngavele ngafunga kanye ngobungcwele bami
angiyikuqamba amanga kuDavida,
36 ukuthi inzalo yakhe izaqhubeka laphakade
lesihlalo sakhe sobukhosi sizakuma phambi kwami njengelanga;
37 sizakuma laphakade njengenyanga,
ufakazi othembekileyo yisibhakabhaka.”
38 Kodwa usumalile, usumlahlile,
ubumthukuthelela kakhulu ogcotshiweyo wakho.
39 Ususikhalele isivumelwano lenceku yakho
wawubhuqela othulini umqhele wakhe.
40 Usuyibhidlizile yonke imiduli yakhe,
izinqaba zakhe wazenza amanxiwa.
41 Bonke abedlula khona bamphangile;
useyinhlekisa yabomakhelwane.
42 Usuphakamisile isandla sokunene sezitha zakhe;
usuwenze zonke izitha zakhe zathokoza.
43 Uyibuyisele emuva inkemba yakhe ebukhali
awaze wamsekela empini.
44 Usuyiqedile inkazimulo yakhe
wadilizela phansi isihlalo sakhe sobukhosi.
45 Uluqumile lwaba lufitshane usuku lobutsha bakhe;
usumembese ingubo yehlazo.
46 Koze kube nini, Oh Thixo? Uzazifihla kokuphela na?
Koze kube nini ulaka lwakho luvutha njengomlilo?
47 Khumbula ukwedlula masinyane kwempilo yami.
Ngoba wabadalela ize nje abantu!
48 Ngumuntu bani ongaphila angaze abona ukufa,
loba azisindise emandleni eliba na?
49 Oh Thixo, lungaphi uthando lwakho lwakudala olukhulu,
okwathi ngokuthembeka kwakho wafunga ngalo kuDavida?
50 Khumbula, Thixo ukuthi inceku yakho iklolodelwa njani,
ukuthi enhliziyweni yami ngithwele izigcono zezizwe,
51 izigcono izitha zakho eziklolode ngazo, Oh Thixo,
okuthe ngazo zaklolodela ogcotshiweyo wakho kukho konke akwenzayo.
52 Udumo kalube kuThixo laphakade!
Ameni njalo Ameni.
