Plea for Mercy in Distress

¹Kumholi wokuhlabelela. Ngogubhu. NgeSheminti. Ihubo likaDavide. Jehova, ungangijezisi ngentukuthelo yakho, ungangishayi ngolaka lwakho.

²Yiba nomusa kimi, Jehova, ngokuba ngidangele; ngiphilise, Jehova, ngokuba amathambo ami ayathuthumela,

³nomphefumulo wami uyathuthumela, kepha wena Jehova, koze kube nini na?

⁴Buya, Jehova, ukhulule umphefumulo wami, ungisindise ngenxa yesihawu sakho.

⁵Ngokuba akukho ukukhumbula wena ekufeni; ngubani oyakukubonga endaweni yabafileyo na?

⁶Ngikhathele ukububula kwami; ngimanzisa icansi lami njalo ebusuku, ngimanzisa ukhukho lwami ngezinyembezi zami.

⁷Iso lami liyafiphala ngokudabuka; liyaguga ngenxa yezitha zami zonke.

⁸Dedani kimi nina nonke enenza okubi, ngokuba uJehova ulizwile izwi lokukhala kwami;

⁹uJehova uzwile ukunxusa kwami, uJehova uyamukela umkhuleko wami.

¹⁰Zonke izitha zami ziyakujabha, zishaywe luvalo; ziyakuhlehla, zijabhe ngokuphazima kweso.
