wahamba phakathi kwamatshe omlilo.
15Wawuphelele ezindleleni zakho
kusukela osukwini lokudalwa kwakho
kwaze kwafumaniseka ukungalungi kuwe.
16Ngobuningi bokuthenga kwakho wagcwaliswa ngobudlova, wonile;
ngalokho ngakulahla ungcolile entabeni kaNkulunkulu,
ngakuchitha wena kherubi* elisibekelayo,
ungabikho phakathi kwamatshe omlilo.
17Inhliziyo yakho yakhukhumala ngobuhle bakho,
wonakalisa ukuhlakanipha kwakho ngokukhazimula kwakho;
ngikulahlele phansi,
ngikubeke phambi kwamakhosi ukuba akubone.
18Ngobuningi bobubi bakho ekuthengeni kwakho okungalungile
ungcolisile izindlu zakho ezingcwele;
ngase ngiphumisa umlilo phakathi kwakho, wakuqeda;
ngakwenza umlotha emhlabeni
emehlweni abo bonke abakubonayo.
19Bonke abakubonayo phakathi kwabantu bamangala ngawe;
usuluvalo, awusayikubakho kuze kube phakade.’ ”
