Bless the LORD, O My Soul

¹Mbonge uJehova, mphefumulo wami; konke okuphakathi kwami makubonge igama lakhe elingcwele.

²Mbonge uJehova, mphefumulo wami, ungakhohlwa imisebenzi yonke yakhe yomusa,

³yena othethelela zonke izono zakho, owelapha zonke izifo zakho;

⁴okhulula ukuphila kwakho ekubhujisweni, okuqhelisa ngomusa nangobubele;

⁵osuthisa ukulangazela kwakho ngokuhle, ubusha bakho bubuyiswe njengokhozi.

⁶UJehova ubenzela bonke abacindezelwayo ukulunga nokwahlulela.

⁷Wamazisa uMose izindlela zakhe, nabantwana bakwa-Israyeli izenzo zakhe.

⁸UJehova unobubele nesihawu; wephuza ukuthukuthela, kuvama umusa.

⁹Akathethi njalonjalo; akagcini intukuthelo yakhe kuze kube phakade.

¹⁰Akasiphathi njengokufanele izono zethu, akasivuzi njengokwamacala ethu.

¹¹Ngokuba njengokuphakama kwezulu phezu komhlaba unjalo umusa wakhe phezu kwabamesabayo.

¹²Njengokuba impumalanga yahlukene nentshonalanga, udedisile kangaka kithi iziphambeko zethu.

¹³Njengoyise ehawukela abantwana bakhe, kanjalo uJehova uyabahawukela abamesabayo.

¹⁴Ngokuba uyakwazi ukubunjwa kwethu; uyakhumbula ukuthi siluthuli.

¹⁵Izinsuku zomuntu zinjengotshani; uyakhahlela njengembali yasendle.

¹⁶Ngokuba umoya uyadlula phezu kwayo, bese yinyamalala, nendawo yayo ingabe isayazi.

¹⁷Kepha umusa kaJehova uphezu kwabamesabayo kwaphakade kuze kube phakade, nokulunga kwakhe kubantwana babantwana,

¹⁸kubo abagcina isivumelwano sakhe bekhumbula iziyalezo zakhe ukuba bazenze.

¹⁹UJehova umisile isihlalo sakhe sobukhosi ezulwini; nombuso wakhe ubusa phezu kwakho konke.

²⁰Bongani uJehova nina zingelosi zakhe, nina maqhawe anamandla enenza okwezwi lakhe nilalela ukukhuluma kwezwi lakhe.

²¹Bongani uJehova nina mabandla onke akhe, nina zinceku zakhe enenza intando yakhe.

²²Bongani uJehova nina misebenzi yakhe yonke ezindaweni zonke zombuso wakhe. Mbonge uJehova, mphefumulo wami.
