Psalms 41

1 Ubusisiwe onanzelela obuthakathaka. INkosi izamkhulula ngosuku lobubi.

2 INkosi izamlondoloza, imgcine ephila; uzabusiswa emhlabeni; kawuyikumnikela entandweni yezitha zakhe.

3 INkosi izamsekela embhedeni wokugula kwakhe; wena uzaguqula lonke icansi lakhe emkhuhlaneni wakhe.

4 Mina ngathi: Nkosi, woba lomusa kimi, silisa umphefumulo wami, ngoba ngonile kuwe.

5 Izitha zami zikhuluma okubi ngami zisithi: Uzakufa nini, lebizo lakhe lichitheke?

6 Lalapho efika ukungibona, ukhuluma inkohliso; inhliziyo yakhe izibuthela okubi, esephumile phandle akhulume.

7 Bonke abangizondayo banyenyezelana bemelene lami, bangisongele ukungona.

8 Into embi inamathele kuye; njalo njengoba elele phansi kasayikuvuka.

9 Yebo, indoda yobungane bami engiyithembayo, ebikade isidla isinkwa sami, ingiphakamisele isithende imelene lami.

10 Kodwa, wena Nkosi, woba lomusa kimi, ungilulamise ukuze ngibaphindisele.

11 Ngalokhu ngiyazi ukuthi uyangithanda, ngoba isitha sami kasithabanga phezu kwami.

12 Kodwa mina, ungisekele ebuqothweni bami, wangimisa phambi kwakho kuze kube nininini.

13 Kayibongwe iNkosi, uNkulunkulu kaIsrayeli, kusukela phakade kuze kube phakade. Ameni, loAmeni.
