Thirst for God

¹Kumongameli: eyokuqiqa; eyoonyana bakaKora. Njengexhama elitsalela emifuleni yamanzi, Wenjenjalo ukutsalela kuwe, Thixo, umphefumlo wam."

²Umphefumlo wam unxanela uThixo, uThixo ophilileyo; Ndiya kufika nini na, ndibonakale ebusweni bukaThixo?"

³Iinyembezi zam zaba kukudla kwam imini nobusuku, Bakuthi kum imihla yonke, Uphi na uThixo wakho?"

⁴Ndikhumbula oku, ndiwuphalazela kum umphefumlo wam, Ukuhamba kwam nezihlwele ndisiya endlwini kaThixo, Sinezwi lokumemelela nokubulela, siyingxokolo evuyayo."

⁵Kungani na ukuba usibekeke, mphefumlo wam; Kungani na ukuba ugule ngaphakathi kwam? Lindela kuThixo, ngokuba ndisaya kubuya ndibulele kuye, Olusindiso lobuso bam, noThixo wam."

⁶Thixo wam, umphefumlo wam usibekekile kum; ngenxa yoko ndikhumbula wena Ezweni laseYordan, nakweleHermon, entabeni yeMitsare."

⁷Amanzi anzongonzongo abiza amanzi anzongonzongo ngesandi seengxangxasi zakho; Onke amaza akho alwayo, amaza akho agugumayo, adlule phezu kwam."

⁸Emini uYehova uya kuyiwisela umthetho inceba yakhe, Nasebusuku ukuvuma ngaye kunam, Ukuthandaza kuThixo wobomi bam."

⁹Ndithi ke kuThixo oyingxondorha yam, Undilibele ngani na? Ndihambelani na ngezimnyama zokuzila ngokuxina kotshaba?"

¹⁰Ngento ephehlayo emathanjeni am, bayandingcikiva abandibandezelayo, Ngokuthi kwabo kum imihla yonke, Uphi na uThixo wakho?"

¹¹Kungani na ukuba usibekeke, mphefumlo wam; Kungani na ukuba ugule ngaphakathi kwam? Lindela kuThixo, ngokuba ndisaya kubuya ndibulele kuye, Olusindiso lobuso bam, noThixo wam."
