The LORD My Portion

¹IMiktamu likaDavide. Ngilondoloze, Nkulunkulu, ngokuba ngiyaphephela kuwe.

²Ngithi kuJehova: “Wena uyiNkosi yami; anginakho okuhle ngaphandle kwakho.”

³Abangcwele abasemhlabeni, abayizikhulu, yonke intokozo yami ikubona.

⁴Ziningi izinhlupheko zabazizuzela omunye unkulunkulu; angiyikunikela ngeminikelo yabo yegazi; angiyikuwaphatha amagama abo ngezindebe zami.

⁵UJehova uyisabelo esahlukaniselwe mina, nendebe yami; wena uqinisa ifa lami.

⁶Izabelo zingehlele ezindaweni ezinhle, yebo, nginalo ifa elihle.

⁷Ngiyakumbonga uJehova ongilulekayo; nasebusuku izinso zami ziyangiyala.

⁸Ngimbeke uJehova njalo phambi kwami, ngokuba ungakwesokunene sami, angiyikuzanyazanyiswa.

⁹Ngakho-ke inhliziyo yami iyajabula, nomphefumulo wami uyethaba, nenyama yami iyakuhlala ngokwethemba.

¹⁰Ngokuba awuyikunikela umphefumulo wami endaweni yabafileyo; awuyikuvuma ukuba ongcwele wakho abone ukubola.

¹¹Uyakungazisa indlela yokuphila; ukugcwala kwenjabulo kusebusweni bakho; intokozo isesandleni sakho sokunene kuze kube phakade.
