Psalms 143
Teach me to do your will
Ihubo likaDavida Oh Thixo, zwana umkhuleko wami, zwana ukukhala kwami ngicela umusa; ngokuthembeka kwakho langokulunga kwakho woza uzongiphumuza. 2Ungangenisi inceku yakho ekwahlulelweni, ngoba kakho ophilayo ongabe ulungile kuwe. 3Isitha siyangizingela, singincindezela phansi emhlabathini; singenza ngihlale emnyameni njengalabo abafa kudala.
4Kanjalo umphefumulo wami uyaphela ngaphakathi kwami; inhliziyo yami ngaphakathi kwami idanile. 5Ngiyazikhumbula insuku zekadeni; ngidla ingqondo ngayo yonke imisebenzi yakho nginakane ngalokho okwenziwe yizandla zakho. 6Ngiyelula izandla zami kuwe; umphefumulo wami uyakomela njengomhlabathi owomileyo.
7Ngiphendula masinyane, awu Thixo; umoya wami uyaphela. Ungangifihleli ubuso bakho funa ngibe njengalabo abaya egodini. 8Akuthi ukusa kungilethele ilizwi lothando lwakho olungaphuthiyo, ngoba sengibeke ithemba lami kuwe. Ngitshengisa indlela okumele ngihambe ngayo, ngoba ngiphakamisela umphefumulo wami kuwe. 9Ngikhulula ezitheni zami, Oh Thixo, ngoba ngizifihla kuwe.
10Ngifundisa ukwenza intando yakho, ngoba unguNkulunkulu wami; sengathi uMoya wakho omuhle kakhulu ungangikhokhela emhlabathini ochayileyo. 11Ngenxa yebizo lakho, Oh Thixo, londoloza impilo yami; ngokulunga kwakho ngikhupha ekuhluphekeni. 12Ethandweni lwakho olungaphuthiyo, thulisa izitha zami; bhubhisa bonke abangizondayo, ngoba ngiyinceku yakho.
