Tihlabelelo 144:1-15
Ingoma yaDavide.
144 Akadvunyiswe Jehova loLidvwala lami,+Nguye longiceceshela imphiEnte nekutsi ngilungele kuyokulwa.+
2 Unelutsandvo lolucotfo futsi uyindzawo yami levikelekile,Uyindzawo yami yekukhosela lephephile futsi ungumkhululi wami,Usihlangu sami futsi nguye lengibalekela kuye,+Nguye nalowenta bantfu bangitfobele.+
3 Awu Jehova, uyini nje umuntfu kutsi ungamnaka,Iyini nje indvodzana yemuntfu kutsi ungaba nendzaba nayo?+
4 Umuntfu ufanana nemoya nje lophuma emakhaleni;+Kuphila kwakhe kunjengesitfunti lesendlulako.+
5 Awu Jehova, yenta emazulu akho agobeke futsi wehle;+Tsintsa tintsaba, utente tishunce intfutfu.+
6 Yenta kutsi limanyate futsi kuhlakateke titsa;+Dubula ngemicibisholo yakho futsi utente tidideke.+
7 Yelula tandla takho usezulwini;Ngikhulule futsi ungisindzise emagagasini,Ungikhulule esandleni sebantfu bakuletinye tive,+
8 Labo labakhuluma emanga ngemilomo yaboFutsi labaphakamisa sandla sabo sangesekudla kuze bafungele intfo lengemanga.
9 Awu Nkulunkulu, ngitakuhlabelela ingoma lensha.+
Ngitawuhlabela ngikudvumise ngensimbi yemculo lenetintsambo letingu-10,
10 Ngihlabelele Loyo lowenta kutsi emakhosi ancobe,+Loyo lowakhulula inceku yakhe Davide kuze bantfu bangayibulali ngenkemba.+
11 Ngikhulule futsi ungisindzise esandleni sebantfu bakuletinye tive,Labo labakhuluma emanga ngemilomo yaboFutsi labaphakamisa sandla sabo sangesekudla kuze bafungele intfo lengemanga.
12 Ngaleyo ndlela emadvodzana etfu atawufanana netihlahla letisheshe tikhule,Nemadvodzakati etfu afanane netinsika letihlobisa emakona asesigodlweni.
13 Tincolobane tetfu titawugcwala tiphuphume lonkhe luhlobo lwekudla;Imfuyo yetfu lesemadlelweni itawandza ngetinkhulungwane nangemashumi etinkhulungwane.
14 Tinkhomo tetfu letemitsi angeke tehlelwe yingoti nobe tiphunte;Kute lotawukhaliswa yinhlupheko etitaladini tetfu.
15 Bayajabula labo tintfo letibahambela kahle ngalendlela!
Bayajabula bantfu Nkulunkulu wabo lokunguJehova!+
