IiNdumiso 79:1-13
Ingoma emnandi ka-Asafu.+
79 Owu Thixo, iintlanga zilihlasele ilifa lakho;+Ziyingcolisile itempile yakho engcwele;+IYerusalem ziyenze imfumba yamabhodlo.+
2 Izidumbu zabakhonzi bakho zizinike iintaka zezulu ukuba zizitye,Inyama yabo bathembekileyo kuwe ziyinike amarhamncwa omhlaba.+
3 Igazi labo zilichithe okwamanzi kuyo yonke iYerusalemIbe akukho mntu ushiyekileyo wokubangcwaba.+
4 Siye saba yinto yokunxwalwa ngabamelwane bethu;+Abantu abasingqongileyo bayasigxeka besigezela.
5 Owu Yehova, uza kuba nomsindo de kube nini? Ngonaphakade?+
Kuza kude kube nini umsindo wakho uvutha njengomlilo?+
6 Khuphela umsindo wakho kwiintlanga ezingakwaziyo,Nakwizizwe ezingabiziyo egameni lakho.+
7 Kuba zimdle zamgqiba uYakobi,Zalitshabalalisa ilizwe lakhe.+
8 Sukusiphendulisa ngezono zookhokho bethu.+
Khawuleza usibonise inceba yakho,+Kuba singamahlwempu.
9 Sincede Thixo wosindiso lwethu,+Ngenxa yegama lakho elizukileyo;Sisindise uze uzixolele* izono zethu ngenxa yegama lakho.+
10 Kutheni zimele zithi iintlanga: “Uphi na uThixo wabo?”+
Mazaziswe phambi kwamehlo ethu iintlangaUkuba ukuchithwa kwegazi labakhonzi bakho kuphindezelwe.+
11 Kwanga ungakuva ukugcuma kwebanjwa.+
Basindise* ngamandla akho* abo bagwetyelwe ukufa.+
12 Babuyekeze kasixhenxe abamelwane bethu+Ngenxa yendlela abakunxwale ngayo, Yehova.+
13 Thina bantu bakho nomhlambi wedlelo lakho,+Siza kukubulela ngonaphakade;Siza kukudumisa kwizizukulwana ngezizukulwana.+
