₃Hosha umkhonto, uvimbe indlela kwabangizingelayo;

yisho kuwo umphefumulo wami, uthi:

“Mina ngiyinsindiso yakho.”

₄Mabajabhe, bahlazeke abafuna umphefumulo wami;

mababuyiselwe emuva, bajabhiswe abangisongelayo.

₅Mababe njengamakhoba emoyeni,

ingelosi kaJehova ibadudule.

₆Indlela yabo mayibe mnyama, ibebushelezi,

ingelosi kaJehova ibaxoshe.

₇Ngokuba bangenzele ngasesitha igebe lenetha labo, kungekho sici,

bembele umphefumulo wami umgodi, kungekho cala.

₈Ukubhujiswa makumehlele engazelele;

inetha lakhe alibeke ngasesitha malimbambe yena;

makawele kulo kube ngukubhujiswa kwakhe.

₉Khona umphefumulo wami uzakwethaba kuJehova,

uthokoze ngokusindisa kwakhe.

₁₀Onke amathambo ami azakuthi:

“Jehova, ngubani onjengawe,

wena okhulula ohluphekayo,

yebo, ohluphekayo nompofu komphangayo, na?”

₁₁Ofakazi abangalungile bayasukuma,

babuza kimi engingakwaziyo.

₁₂Bangiphindisela okubi ngokuhle;

umphefumulo wami bawusozisele.

₁₃Kanti ekuguleni kwabo mina ngangembethe ezokuzila;

umphefumulo wami ngawuhlupha ngokuzila ukudla;

umkhuleko wami wabuyela esifubeni sami.

₁₄Ngahamba kungathi bekungumngane wami nomfowethu;

njengokhalela unina ngakhothama ngokulila.

₁₅Kepha ekuweni kwami bahlekisa ngami, babuthana ndawonye;

abashayi engingabaziyo bangibunganyela;

badumaza bengayeki.

₁₆Njengezinteli ezikhonzela ucezu lwesinkwa

bangigedlela amazinyo.

₁₇Nkosi, lokho uzakukubukela kuze kube nini na?

Sindisa umphefumulo wami ekubhubhiseni kwabo,

ukuphila kwami ezingonyameni ezingamabhongo.

₁₈Ngizakukubonga ebandleni elikhulu,

ngikudumise phakathi kwabantu abaningi.

₁₉Mabangajabuli ngami abayizitha zami bengenasizathu;

mabangaqwayizi amehlo abangizonda ngeze.

₂₀Ngokuba abakhulumi ukuthula,

kepha baqamba amazwi enkohliso ngabazithuleleyo emhlabeni.

₂₁Yebo, bangikhamisela kakhulu umlomo wabo, bathi:

“Ashila, ashila, iso lethu liyabona!”

₂₂Uyakubona, Jehova; mawungathuli;

Nkosi, mawungabi kude nami.

₂₃Vuka, usukumele ukwahlulelwa kwami,

Nkulunkulu wami, Nkosi yami,

umele icala lami.

₂₄Ngahlulele ngokulunga kwakho,

Jehova Nkulunkulu wami;

mabangajabuli ngami.

₂₅Mabangasho enhliziyweni yabo ukuthi:

“He, kwaya ngesifiso sethu!”

Mabangasho ukuthi: “Simgwinyile.”

₂₆Mabajabhe,

babe namahloni bonke abajabula ngokuhlupheka kwami;

abazikhukhumeza ngami mabembathiswe ukujabha nendumazo.

₂₇Mabethabe, bajabule abathokoza ngokulunga kwami;

mabathi njalonjalo:

“Makadunyiswe uJehova

othokoza ngenhlanhla yenceku yakhe.”

₂₈Ulimi lwami luzakushumayela ngokulunga kwakho,

usuku lonke ngodumo lwakho.
