Ukukhala ngobubi bomkhapheli ozigabisayo
Kumholi wokuhlabelela; iMaskili* likaDavide ekufikeni kukaDowegi wakwaEdomi emazisa uSawule, ethi kuye: UDavide ufikile endlini ka-Ahimeleki
1Uzigabiselani ngokubi wena-siqhwaga na?
Umusa kaNkulunkulu umi njalo.
2Ulimi lwakho lusongoza okubi
njengempuco eloliweyo, wena owenza amacebo.
3Uthanda okubi kunokuhle,
namanga kunokukhuluma ukulunga. Sela*.
4Uthanda onke amazwi okubhubhisa
wena-lulimi lwenkohliso.
5Ngakho-ke uNkulunkulu uyakukubhidliza kuze kube-phakade;
uyakukubamba, akukhiphe etendeni lakho,
akusiphule ezweni labaphilayo. Sela*.
6Abalungileyo bayakukubona, besabe;
bayakumhleka, bathi:
7Bheka, nasi isiqhwaga esingamenzanga uNkulunkulu abe-yinqaba yaso,
kepha sethemba ingcebo yaso enkulu,
siziqinisa ebubini baso.
8Kepha mina nginjengomnqumo oluhlaza
endlini kaNkulunkulu;
ngithemba umusa kaNkulunkulu njalonjalo
kuze kube-phakade naphakade.
9Ngizakukudumisa kuze kube-phakade, ngokuba ukwenzile;
ngizakulindela igama lakho,
ngokuba lihle phambi kwabangcwele bakho.
