1 Kumholi wokuhlabelela. Ihubo likaDavide. Koze kube nini, Jehova, ungikhohlwa njalonjalo na? Koze kube nini usitheza ubuso bakho kimi na?
2 Koze kube nini ngikhathazeka emphefumulweni wami, nginosizi enhliziyweni yami usuku lonke, na? Koze kube nini isitha sami siziphakamisa phezu kwami na?
3 Bheka neno, ungiphendule, Jehova Nkulunkulu wami; khanyisa amehlo ami, ngize ngingalali ubuthongo bokufa,
4 ukuze isitha sami singasho ukuthi: “Ngimahlulile,” funa abamelene nami bethabe lapha ngintengayo.
5 Kepha ngiwuthembile umusa wakho; inhliziyo yami izakwethaba ngensindiso yakho;
6 ngizakuhlabelela kuJehova, ngokuba ungenzele okuhle.
