| 1. | Liveni ilizwi alithethayo kuni uYehova, ndlu kaSirayeli. |
| 2. | Utsho uYehova ukuthi, Musani ukuziqhelisa indlela yeentlanga, ningaqhiphuki umbilini yimiqondiso yezulu, ngakuba iintlanga ziqhiphuke umbilini yiyo. |
| 3. | Ngokuba imimiselo yezizwe ayinto yanto. Kuba izithixo zingumthi ogawulwe ehlathini, sisenzo sezandla zengcibi ngezembe. |
| 4. | Izivathisa ngesilivere nangegolide; baziqinisa ngezikhonkwane nangezando, ukuba zingagexagexi. |
| 5. | Zinjengentsika echweliweyo, azithethi; zimele ukuthwalwa, ngokuba zingenakuhamba. Musani ukuzoyika; kuba azinakwenza bubi; kwanokulungisa azinako. |
| 6. | Akukho namnye unjengawe, Yehova; umkhulu wena, likhulu igama lakho, linobugorha. |
| 7. | Ngubani na ongeze akoyike, Kumkani weentlanga? Ngokuba kukufanele; kuba phakathi kwezilumko zonke zeentlanga, naphakathi kwezikumkani zonke, akukho namnye unjengawe. |
| 8. | Zizityhakala, ziinyabi zodwa; uqeqesho lwento engento, ngumthi. |
| 9. | Yisilivere ekhandiweyo, iziswa ivela eTarshishe, negolide yaseUfazi, isenzo sengcibi nesezandla zomnyibilikisi wegolide; yimisonto emsi nemfusa izambatho zazo; zonke ziphela zisisenzo sezilumko. |
| 10. | Ke yena uYehova nguThixo, inyaniso, nguThixo ophilileyo, ngukumkani ongunaphakade; ihlabathi liyanyikima buburhalarhume bakhe, neentlanga azinakuluthwala ubhavumo lwakhe. |
| 11. | Notsho kubo ukuthi, Bona oothixo abangalenzanga izulu nehlabathi, baya kudaka ehlabathini, naphantsi kwezulu. |
| 12. | Ke yena ngulowenza ihlabathi ngamandla akhe; ulozinzisa elimiweyo ngobulumko bakhe; waneka izulu ngengqondo yakhe; |
| 13. | kwakubonÂ’ ukuba kukho isithonga sokwenza kwakhe, ingxolo yamanzi ezulwini, unyusa amafu esiphelweni sehlabathi; imvula uyenzela imibane, arhole umoya koovimba bakhe. |
| 14. | Uba sisityhakala wonke umntu, engenakwazi; udaniswa wonke umnyibilikisi wegolide ngumfanekiso oqingqiweyo, ngokuba umfanekiso wakhe otyhidiweyo bubuxoki, awunamoya. |
| 15. | Zingamampunge ezo zinto, zizenzo zokugxekwa; ngexesha lokuvelelwa kwazo ziyadaka. |
| 16. | Akanjengazo yena uSahlulelo sikaYakobi, ngokuba ngumbumbi weento zonke yena; uSirayeli sisizwe selifa lakhe; nguYehova wemikhosi, igama lakhe. |
| 17. | Hlanganisa impahla yakho, umke nayo kweli lizwe, wena uhleliyo ekungqingweni. |
| 18. | Ngokuba uYehova utshilo ukuthi, Yabona, ngesi sihlandlo, ndisawula abemi belizwe, ndibabandezele, ukuze bafunyanwe. |
| 19. | Athi ke mna, ngenxa yokwaphuka kwam! Lelokubulala inxeba lam; ke mna ndithi, Inyaniso, sisifo sam esi, ndiya kusinyamezela. |
| 20. | Intente yam ibhuqiwe, neentambo zam zonke ziqhawukile; oonyana bam baphumile kum, ababa sabakho; akusekho uyitwabululayo intente yam, amise amalengalenga am. |
| 21. | Ngokuba abalusi baba zizityhakala, abamquqela uYehova; ngenxa yoko abenzanga ngangqiqo, wachithwachitwa wonke umhlambi wabo. |
| 22. | Phulaphulani! Kuvakala into; nantso isiza! Yingxolo enkulu, iphuma ezweni asentla, ukuze imizi yakwaYuda ibe ngamanxuwa, ibe sisikhundla seempungutye. |
| 23. | Ndiyazi, Yehova, ukuba ayikhona emntwini indlela yakhe; akukhona endodeni ehambayo ukuqinisela ukunyathela kwayo. |
| 24. | Ndithethise, Yehova, kodwa kube ngokwesiko, kungabi ngomsindo wakho, hleze undinciphise. |
| 25. | Phalaza ubushushu bakho phezu kweentlanga ezingakwaziyo, naphezu kwemizalwane engalinquliyo igama lakho; ngokuba zimdlile uYakobi, zimdlile zamgqiba, ikriwa lakhe zalenza laba senkangala. |
