Umthantazo waMosi inceku yaNkulunkulu weliciniso.+
90 Awu Jehova, kuto tonkhe titukulwane wena bewusolo usiphephelo*+ setfu.
2 Ngaphambi kwekutsi kudalwe tintsabaNangaphambi kwekutsi udale umhlaba nako konkhe lokukuwo,+Wena bewusolo unguNkulunkulu, awunasicalo futsi awunasiphetfo.+
3 Bantfu ubenta babuyele elutfulini;Utsi kubo: “Buyelani elutfulini, nine madvodzana ebantfu.”+
4 Ngobe kuwe iminyaka leyinkhulungwane injengelilanga layitolo leselengcile,+Ifanana nema-awa lambalwa nje asebusuku.
5 Bantfu ubenta bashabalale+ ngekushesha, baphele njengeliphupho.
Ekuseni bafana netjani lobuhlumako.+
6 Buyachakaza ekuseni futsi bukhule,Kodvwa entsambama buyabuna futsi bome.+
7 Lulaka lwakho luyasetfusa+Nentfukutselo yakho iyasesabisa.
8 Wena uyatati tono tetfu;+Kukhanya kwebuso bakho kutibeka ebaleni timfihlo tetfu.+
9 Kuphila kwetfu kusheshe kuphele ngenca yentfukutselo yakho;Iminyaka yetfu yekuphila isheshe iphele kuhle kwemoya lophuma emlonyeni.
10 Siphila iminyaka lengu-70,Nobe ibe ngu-80+ nangabe umuntfu acinile.
Kodvwa leminyaka igcwala tinkinga nelusizi;Futsi isheshe iphele bese siyanyamalala.+
11 Ngubani nje lowatiko emandla elulaka lwakho?
Intfukutselo yakho yinkhulu, ilingana nendlela lokufanele sikwesabe ngayo.+
12 Sifundzise indlela yekubala emalanga etfu+Kuze sibe nenhlitiyo lehlakaniphile.
13 Awu Jehova, phindze usemukele.+ Kutawuze kube ngunini solo usishiyile?+
Hawukela tinceku takho.+
14 Senetise ngemusa* wakho+ ekuseni,Kute simemete sijabulile futsi sitfokote+ kuphila kwetfu konkhe.
15 Yenta emalanga etfu ekujabula alingane nemalanga lowente sahlupheka ngawo,+Uwente abe ngangeminyaka leminyenti lebesehlelwa ngayo tinhlekelele.+
16 Shengatsi tinceku takho tingabona imisebenti yakho,Nemadvodzana ato abone bukhatikhati bakho.+
17 Shengatsi Jehova Nkulunkulu wetfu angasibusisa;Shengatsi ungawenta uphumelele umsebenti lesiwenta ngetandla tetfu.
Uwuphumelelise umsebenti lesiwenta ngetandla tetfu.+
