Salmi 84

Quanto sono amabili le tue dimore

Kumqondisi wokuhlabela. Ngendlela yegithithi. Elabantwana bakaKhora. Ihubo. Yeka ubuhle bendlu yakho, Oh Thixo Somandla! ²Umphefumulo wami uyalangazela, uze ungathi uyaphela, ngifuna amaguma kaThixo; inhliziyo yami lenyama yami kukhalela uNkulunkulu ophilayo. ³Intaka layo ilizuzile ikhaya, lenkonjane isidleke sayo, lapho ingazalela khona abantwana bayo indawo eduze kwe-alithari lakho, Oh Thixo Somandla, Nkosi yami loNkulunkulu wami.

⁴Babusisiwe labo abahlala endlini yakho; bahlala bekudumisa kokuphela. ⁵Babusisiwe labo abalamandla abo akuwe asebebeke inhliziyo zabo ekulagiseni kuwe. ⁶Bathi nxa bedabula esiGodini seBhaka basenze sibe yindawo yemithombo; izulu lekwindla lalo ligcwalise iziziba.

⁷Ayakhula amandla abo ande, ngulowo lalowo aze aqhamuke kuNkulunkulu eZiyoni. ⁸Zwana umkhuleko wami, Oh Thixo Nkulunkulu Somandla; akungilalele, Oh Nkulunkulu kaJakhobe. ⁹Khangela isihlangu sethu, Oh Nkulunkulu; khangela ngomusa kogcotshiweyo wakho.

¹⁰Lungcono usuku olulodwa emagumeni akho kulensuku eziyinkulungwane kwenye indawo; kungabangcono ngibe ngumlindimasango endlini kaNkulunkulu kulokuhlala emathenteni ababi. ¹¹Ngoba uThixo ulilanga lesihlangu; uThixo uyapha umusa lodumo; kancitshani langaluphi ulutho oluhle kulabo ozinyathelo zabo zingelansolo. ¹²Oh Thixo Somandla, ubusisiwe umuntu owethemba kuwe.
