Salmi 132
Il giuramento fatto a Davide
Ingoma yemiqanso. Oh Thixo, khumbula uDavida ngezinhlupheko zonke azibhenselayo. 2Wafunga isifungo kuThixo wenza isithembiso kuMninimandla kaJakhobe: 3“Angizukungena endlini yami loba ngiye embhedeni wami, 4angiyikuwavumela amehlo ami ubuthongo, akukuba lakuwozela enkopheni zami, 5ngize ngifumane indawo kaThixo, indawo yokuhlala uMninimandla kaJakhobe.” 6Sakuzwa lokhu e-Efrathi, sakubona emangweni waseJayari: 7“Kasiye lapho ahlala khona; kasikhonze phansi kwesihlalo sakhe.
8Phakama, Oh Thixo, ubuye endaweni yakho yokuphumula, wena umtshokotsho wesivumelwano elitshengisa amandla akho. 9Sengathi abaphristi bakho bangembeswa ngokulunga; sengathi labathembekileyo bakho bangahlabelela ngentokozo.” 10Ngenxa yenceku yakho uDavida, ungamfulatheli ogcotshiweyo wakho.
11UThixo wenza isifungo kuDavida, isifungo esiqinileyo angakusaphula wathi: “Omunye wezizukulwane zakho ngizambeka esihlalweni sakho sobukhosi 12aluba amadodana akho egcina isivumelwano sami lezimiso engibafundisa zona, lapho-ke amadodana abo azahlala esihlalweni sakho sobukhosi kuze kube nini lanini.” 13Ngoba uThixo uyikhethile iZiyoni, uyithandile ukuba yindawo yakhe yokuhlala: 14“Le yindawo yami yokuphumula lanini; lapha ngizahlala ngisebukhosini, ngoba ngiyithandile 15ngizayibusisa ngokudla okunengi; abayanga bayo ngizabasuthisa ngokudla.
16Ngizavunulisa abaphristi bayo ngensindiso, labathembekileyo bakhe bazahlabelela ngentokozo nini lanini. 17Lapha ngizakhulisa uphondo lukaDavida ngilungisele ogcotshiweyo wami isibane. 18Ngizakwembathisa izitha ngehlazo, kodwa umqhele osekhanda lakhe uzakhazimula.”
