| 20. | ndikugane ube ngowam ngokuthembeka, umazi uYehova. |
| 21. | Kuya kuthi ngaloo mini, ndiphendule, utsho uYehova; ndiya kuliphendula izulu, lona liphendule ihlabathi; |
| 22. | ihlabathi liphendule ingqolowa, newayini entsha, neoli; ezo zinto ziphendule uYizereli. |
| 23. | Ndozihlwayelela yena elizweni, ndimenzele imfesane uAkenzelwanga-mfesane; ndithi kuAsibantubam, Ungabantu bam; aze athi kum, UnguThixo wam. |
