Prayer for the King

¹Kumholi wokuhlabelela. Ihubo likaDavide. UJehova makakuphendule ngosuku lokuhlupheka; igama likaNkulunkulu kaJakobe malikuvikele.

²Makakuthumele usizo lwasendlini engcwele, akusekele ngamandla aseSiyoni.

³Makakhumbule yonke iminikelo yakho yokudliwa, awamukele umnikelo wakho wokushiswa. Sela

⁴Makakunike njengokwenhliziyo yakho, afeze icebo lakho lonke.

⁵Siyahalalisa ngensindiso yakho, siphakamise ibhandela egameni likaNkulunkulu wethu; uJehova makagcwalise zonke izicelo zakho.

⁶Kalokhu ngiyazi ukuthi uJehova uyamsindisa ogcotshiweyo wakhe: esezulwini lakhe elingcwele uyamphendula ngamandla okusindisa esandla sakhe sokunene.

⁷Abanye izinqola, abanye amahhashi, kepha thina sibonga igama likaJehova uNkulunkulu wethu.

⁸Bayathoba, bawe; kepha thina siyavuka, sime.

⁹Sindisa, Jehova! INkosi mayisiphendule ngosuku lokukhala kwethu.
