| 1. | Ulilungisa, Yehova, xa ndibambeneyo nawe; ndothetha iindawo ezisesikweni zodwa. Kungathuba lini na ukuba indlela yabangendawo ibe nempumelelo, babe nokuchulumacha bonke abanginiza benginizile? |
| 2. | Ubatyele, bendela nokwendela iingcambu; bayakhula, benze neziqhamo. Usondele emlonyeni wabo, wakude ezintsweni zabo. |
| 3. | Wena, Yehova, uyandazi; uyandibona, uyicikida intliziyo yam enawe. Baqweqwedise njengeegusha, baxhelwe, ubangcwalisele umhla wokubulawa. |
| 4. | Kunini na ilizwe linesijwili, umfuno wamasimi onke womile? Ngenxa yeento ezimbi zabemi balo, ziphephethekile iinkomo neentaka; ngokuba besithi, Akayi kulibona ikamva lethu. |
| 5. | Xa ugidime nabeenyawo, bakudinisa, wothini na ukushiyiselana namahashe? Xa ukholose ngelizwe elinoxolo, wothini na ekweneni kweYordan? |
| 6. | Ngokuba nabazalwana bakho, nendlu kayihlo, banginizile kuwe nabo; bayamemeza emva kwakho nabo ngezwikazi elikhulu. Musa ukukholwa ngabo, xa bathetha izinto ezilungileyo kuwe. |
| 7. | Ndiyishiyile indlu yam, ndililahlile ilifa lam, ndiyinikele intanda yomphefumlo wam esandleni seentshaba zayo. |
| 8. | Ilifa lam lisuke laba njengengonyama yasehlathini kum, lindikhuphele ilizwi lalo; ngenxa yoko ndilithiyile. |
| 9. | Ilifa lam lukhozi oluthe chokochoko na kum, ukuba iinkozi zilingungele nje? Yizani, nihlanganise onke amarhamncwa asendle; waziseni adle. |
| 10. | Abalusi abaninzi basonakalisile isidiliya sam, basingqushile isiziba sam somhlaba; basibharhisile isiziba sam esinqwenelekayo, sayintlango. |
| 11. | Basibharhisile; sisijwili ngeenxa zonke kum; sibharhile, kusenkangala kulo lonke ilizwe, ngokuba akubangakho mntu ukubekela intliziyo oko. |
| 12. | Eluqayini lonke lwasentlango kufike ababhuqi; ngokuba ikrele likaYehova liyadla, lithabathela ekupheleni kwelizwe, lise ekupheleni kwelizwe; akukho luxolo kwinyama yonke. |
| 13. | Bahlwayela ingqolowa, bavuna ameva; bazidubile, abafeza lutho. Danani ke lungeniselo lwenu, ngenxa yobushushu bomsindo kaYehova. |
| 14. | Utsho uYehova ngabamelwane bam bonke abanobubi, abachukumisa ilifa endalidlisa abantu bam amaSirayeli, ukuthi, Yabonani, ndiyabanyothula emhlabeni wabo, ndiyinyothule indlu yakwaYuda phakathi kwabo. |
| 15. | Kuya kuthi, emveni kokuba ndibanyothule, ndibuye ndibe nemfesane kubo, ndibabuyisele elowo elifeni lakhe, elowo emhlabeni wakhe. |
| 16. | Kothi, ukuba bathe bazifunda ngenkuthalo iindlela zabantu bam; ukuba bafunge igama lam, bathi, Ehleli nje uYehova, njengoko babafundisayo abantu bam ukufunga uBhahali; baze bakheke phakathi kwabantu bam. |
| 17. | Ke ukuba bathe abeva, ndolunyothula olu hlanga, ndilunyothule, ndilutshabalalise; utsho uYehova. |
