Isahluko 10

1 Jehova, umeleni kude na? Uzifihlelani ubuso ezikhathini zokuhlupheka na?
2 Ngokuqhosha komubi ompofu uyahlupheka; mababanjwe ngamacebo abawacebileyo.
3 Ngokuba omubi uyazigabisa ngokufisa komphefumulo wakhe, nohulazayo uyamvalelisa, amdelele uJehova.
4 Omubi ngokuzikhukhumeza kobuso bakhe uthi: “Akanaki lutho; akakho uNkulunkulu,” injalo imicabango yakhe yonke.
5 Izindlela zakhe zithembekile izikhathi zonke; izahlulelo zakho ziphakeme kakhulu kunokubona kwakhe; zonke izitha zakhe uyazidelela.
6 Uthi enhliziyweni yakhe: “Angiyikuzanyazanyiswa; izizukulwane nezizukulwane angisoze ngehlelwa ngozi.”
7 Umlomo wakhe ugcwele isiqalekiso nenkohliso nobudlova; ngaphansi kolimi lwakhe kukhona ukwelelesa nokonakala.
8 Uhlezi ezindaweni zokuqamekela zemizi; ezindaweni ezisithekileyo uyambulala ongenacala; amehlo akhe ayamhlwaya othithibeleyo.
9 Endaweni esithekileyo uqamekela njengengonyama emphandwini wayo; uhlomele ukumbamba ohluphekileyo; uyambamba ohluphekileyo ngokumngenisa esihibeni sakhe.
10 Uyanyonyoba, uyakhothama, abathithibeleyo bawe ngamazipho akhe.
11 Uthi enhliziyweni yakhe: “UNkulunkulu ukhohliwe, ubusithezile ubuso bakhe; akasoze wakubona nanini.”
12 Vuka, Jehova! Nkulunkulu, phakamisa isandla sakho, ungakhohlwa abahluphekileyo.
13 Kungani ukuba omubi adelele uNkulunkulu, athi enhliziyweni yakhe: “Awuyikukunaka,” na?
14 Ubonile wena; ngokuba ukukhathazeka nokuhlupheka uyakubona wena ukuze ukubeke esandleni sakho; othithibeleyo uyazinikela kuwe; wena ungumsizi wentandane.
15 Yaphula ingalo yomubi; buphenyisise ububi besoni, ukuze ungabe usabufumana.
16 UJehova uyinkosi kuze kube phakade naphakade; abezizwe bayachithwa emhlabeni wakhe.
17 Jehova, uyakuzwa ukulangazela kwabamnene; uyaqinisa inhliziyo yabo, indlebe yakho uyibeka kubo
18 ukuba wahlulele intandane nocindezelweyo, ukuze umuntu wasemhlabeni angabe esabanga uvalo.
