Psalms, Chapter 39

1. Kumongameli, kuYedutun. Umhobe kaDavide. Ndathi, Ndiya kuzigcina iindlela zam, Ndingoni ngolwimi lwam; Ndiya kuwugcina ngokuwubopha umlomo wam, Xa ongendawo asephambi kwam.    2. Ndaba sisidenge, ndathozama, Ndazisulungisa nakokulungileyo; Wagxobha-gxobheka umvandedwa wam.    3. Yaba nobushushu intliziyo yam phakathi kwam, Ekucamangeni kwam wavutha umlilo. Ndathetha ke ngolwimi lwam,    4. Ndathi, Ndazise, Yehova, isiphelo sam, Nomlinganiso wemihla yam, into oyiyo; Mandikwazi ukunqamka kwam, into okuyiyo.    5. Yabona, uyenze imihla yam yangangobubanzi besandla; Nobomi bam bunjengento engento phambi kwakho; Ngumphunga nje bonke abantu, nakuba bemi. (Phakamisani.)    6. Uhamba-hamba umntu enjengesithunzi nje kodwa; Baxokozela ngomphunga nje kodwa; Bafumba, bengazi ukuba ngubani na oya kukuhlanganisa.    7. Ngoku ndiya kuthembela kwintoni na, Nkosi yam? Ukulinda kwam kukuwe.    8. Ndihlangule elukreqweni lwam lonke; Musa ukundimisela ingcikivo yesidenge.    9. Ndisisidenge, umlomo wam andiwuvuli, Ngokuba oko kwenziwe nguwe.    10. Sisuse kum isibetho sakho; Mna ndiyaphela kukutyundyutha kwesandla sakho.    11. Wakumthethisa umntu ngezohlwayo ngenxa yobugwenxa, Uyasonakalisa njengenundu isoya sakhe; Bangumphunga nje kodwa bonke abantu. (Phakamisani.)    12. Yiva umthandazo wam, Yehova, Kubekele indlebe ukuzibika kwam. Musa ukuthi tu ezinyembezini zam; Ngokuba ndingumphambukeli kuwe, Undwendwe, njengoobawo bonke.    13. Bheka phaya, ungandikhangeli, khendincumeze, Ndingekemki ndingabi sabakho.
