2Yini na ukuba sibe yingqombela isambatho sakho, neengubo zakho zibe njengezoxovula esixovulelweni sewayini?
3Isifaxangelo ndìsixovule ndedwa; ezizweni akubangakho bani inam; ndazixovula ndinomsindo, ndazinyasha ndishushu; igazi lazo lachaphazela iingubo zam, ndasidyobha sonke isambatho sam. 4Kuba umhla wempindezelo ubusentliziyweni yam, nomnyaka wokukhulula kwam ngokuhlawulela ufikile. 5Ndabheka, akwabakho mncedi; ndamangaliswa ukuba kungabikho mxhasi; yandisindisela ke ingalo yam, nobushushu bam baba ngumxhasi wam. 6Ndazigqusha izizwe ndinomsindo, ndazinxilisa ndinobushushu, ndalihlisela emhlabeni igazi lazo.
