1. Gcina unyawo lwakho xeshikweni uya endlwini kaThixo; ukusondela ukuba uve, kungaphezu kokunikela kwezidenge imibingelelo; ngokuba ukungazi kwazo kwenza izinto ezimbi.
2. Musa ukungxama ngomlomo wakho, intliziyo yakho ingaphangi ikhuphe ilizwi phambi koThixo; ngokuba uThixo usemazulwini, ke wena usehlabathini; ngenxa yoko amazwi akho makabe mancinane.
3. Ngokuba ukuphupha kuza ngobuninzi bemicimbi, nezwi lesidenge liza ngobuninzi bentetho.
4. Xeshikweni uthe wabhambathisa isibhambathiso kuThixo, musa ukuzekelela ukusizalisa; ngokuba azinanzwa izidenge; loo nto uyibhambathisileyo yizalise.
5. Kulungile ukuba ungabhambathisi, kunokuba ubhambathise ungazalisi.
6. Musa ukuwuvumela umlommo wakho, ukuba uyonise inyama yakho; ungàtsho phambi komthunywa kaThixo ukuthi ibikukulahleka. Yini na ukuba uThixo abe noburhalarhume ngezwi lakho asonakalise isenzo sezandla zakho?
7. Ngokuba ebuninzini bamaphupha namazwi, maninzi amampunge; ke yoyika uThixo.
8. Ukuba uthe wakubona ukucudiswa kwehlwempu, nokuhluthwa kokusesikweni nobulungisa elizweni, musa ukumangaliswa yiloo nto; ngokuba oyena uphakamileyo ukhangele phezu kophakamileyo; kukho abaphakamileyo naphezu kwabo.
9. Ilungelo lelizwe entweni yonke ngukumkani onyamekela umhlaba.
