Ogcotshiweyo kaJehova
1Kungani ukuba abezizwe baxokozele,
nabantu bazindle ngokuyize na?
2Amakhosi omhlaba ayazihlanganisa,
nababusi baceba icebo
ngoJehova nangogcotshiweyo wakhe ngokuthi:
3“Masigqabule izibopho zabo,
silahle izintambo zabo, zisuke kithina.”
4Yena ohlezi ezulwini uyahleka,
iNkosi iyabadelela.
5Ibisikhuluma kubo ngentukuthelo yayo,
ibethuse ngolaka lwayo, ithi:
6“Nokho ngibekile iNkosi yami eSiyoni,
intaba yami engcwele.”
7Ngizakulanda ngesinqumo:
uJehova wathi kimi:
“Uyindodana yami wena;
namuhla ngikuzele.
8Cela kimi,
ngikunike abezizwe babe yifa lakho,
nemikhawulo yomhlaba ibe yimfuyo yakho.
9Uzakubaphula ngentonga yensimbi,
ubaphahlaze njengesitsha sombumbi.”
10Ngakho hlakaniphani nina makhosi;
yalekani nina bahluleli bomhlaba.
11Mkhonzeni uJehova ngokwesaba, nethabe ngokuthuthumela.
12Yangeni indodana,
ingaze ithukuthele,
nibhubhe endleleni,
ngokuba ulaka lwayo luyakuvutha masinyane.
Babusisiwe bonke abaphephela kuyo.
