IHubo 52:1-9
Kumqondisi wokuhlabela. Imaskili.* Ihubo likaDavida alihlabela uDowegi um-Edomi esetshele uSawuli ukuthi uDavida ufike endlini ka-Ahimeleki.+
52 Kungani uzigqaja ngezenzo zakho ezimbi, wena qhawe elilamandla?+
Uthando lukaNkulunkulu oluqotho luhlala lukhona.+
2 Ulimi lwakho lubukhali njengereza,+Lulobuqili njalo lubumba amacebo amabi.+
3 Uthanda okubi ukwedlula okuhle,Uthanda ukukhuluma amanga ukwedlula iqiniso. (Selah)
4 Uthanda ukukhuluma amazwi alimazayo,Ulimi lwakho lulobuqili!
5 Yikho uNkulunkulu ezakubhubhisa ungaphindi ube khona,+Uzakudonsa akukhiphe etendeni lakho.+
Uzakusiphuna elizweni labaphilayo.+ (Selah)
6 Abalungileyo bazakubona lokho bamangale,+Bazakuhleka wena oliqili bathi:+
7 “Nangu umuntu ongazange aphephele kuNkulunkulu,*+Kodwa owathembela enothweni yakhe enengi,+Wathemba lamacebo akhe amabi.”
8 Kodwa mina ngizafanana lesihlahla sama-oliva esiyisithingithingi esisendlini kaNkulunkulu,Ngilethemba lokuthi uNkulunkulu uzangithanda+ kuze kube nini lanini.
9 Ngizakudumisa kuze kube phakade Nkulunkulu ngenxa yalokho okwenzileyo.+
Phambi kwabantu bakho abaqotho,Ngizathembela ebizweni lakho+ ngoba lihle.
