Izithombe azinakusindisa
1UBeli uyaguqa, uNebo uyakhothama;
izithombe zabo zingezezilwane nezezinkomo;
enibathweleyo bangumthwalo,
banzima ezilwaneni eziyethileyo.
2Ziyakhothama, ziguqa kanyekanye,
azinakuwukhulula umthwalo;
nabo uqobo baya ekuthunjweni.
3Ngilalele wena-ndlu kaJakobe,
yonke insali yendlu yakwaIsrayeli
engiyithwesiweyo kwasesiswihi,
yabekwa phezu kwami kwasesizalweni.
4Noze niguge, nginguye,
yebo, noze nibe-yizimpunga, ngiyakunithwala;
ngikwenzile lokhu, futhi ngiyakunetshatha,
yebo, ngiyakunithwala, nginikhulule.
5Niyakungifanisa, ningilinganise nobani,
ningiqathanise nobani ukuba sifanane na?
6Abathulula igolide esikhwameni yini,
balinganise isiliva esilinganisweni,
baqashe umkhandi wesiliva ukuba enze unkulunkulu,
bese bekhothama, bakhuleke, na?
7Bamthwala ehlombe, bametshathe,
bambeke endaweni yakhe ukuba eme khona,
angabe esasuka endaweni yakhe;
kepha uma umuntu ekhala kuye, akayikumphendula,
angamsindisi osizini lwakhe.
8Khumbulani lokhu, nime niqinile,
nibuye nicabange ezinhliziyweni zenu nina-benzi bokubi.
9Khumbulani izinto zakuqala zamandulo,
ngokuba nginguNkulunkulu, akakho omunye,
yebo, nginguNkulunkulu, akakho onjengami,
10engimemezela ngaphambili okuyakuza,
nasendulo izinto ezingakenziwa, ngokuthi:
Icebo lami liyakuma, ngiyakwenza yonke intando yami,
11mina engibiza inqe empumalanga
nomuntu wecebo lami ezweni elikude;
yebo, ngikhulumile, ngiyakukufikisa;
nginqumile, ngiyakukwenza.
12Ngilaleleni nina enilukhuni ngenhliziyo,
enikude nokulunga.
13Ngiyakusondeza ukulunga kwami, akukude,
insindiso yami ayiyikulibala;
ngibeka insindiso eSiyoni
nodumo lwami kwaIsrayeli.
