7Utsho uYehova wemikhosi ukuthi, Iindlela zenu zigqaleni. 8Nyukani niye kweleentaba, nize nemithi, niyakhe indlu le; ndokholiswa ke yiyo, ndizizukise; utsho uYehova.
9Nalindela into eninzi, nantso isuke yaba yinto encinane; nithe nakùza nayo ekhaya, ndayiphephetha. Ngani ke? utsho uYehova wemikhosi; ngenxa yendlu yam, yona le ilinxuwa, nibe nina elowo ebalekela endlwini yakhe. 10Ngenxa yoko, ngenxa yenu, izulu liyala nombethe, nomhlaba wala neendyebo zawo. 11Ndabiza ukoma phezu kwelizwe, naphezu kweentaba, naphezu kwengqolowa, naphezu kwewayini entsha, naphezu kweoli, naphezu kwezinto zonke eziphuma emhlabeni, naphezu kwabantu, naphezu kweenkomo, naphezu kokuxelenga konke kwezandla.
