1. Ke kaloku kwathi ngomnyaka wesithandathu, ngenyanga yesithandathu, ngolwesihlanu enyangeni leyo, ndíhleli endlwini yam, namadoda amakhulu akwaYuda ehleli phambi kwam, sawa phezu kwam khona isandla seNkosi uYehova.
2. Ndabona, nantso into efana nendoda ukubonakala kwayo; kuthabathele esinqeni sayo kwehlisa, kubonakala ingumlilo; kuthabathele esinqeni sayo kunyuse, ngathi kukubonakala kokukhazimla, ngathi yimbonakalo yegolide evuthiweyo.
3. Wolula into emilise okwesandla, wandibamba ngesihlwitha sentloko yam; umoya wandifunqula ndaba phakathi komhlaba nezulu. Wandisa eYerusalem ngemibono kaThixo, ekungeneni kwesango lentendelezo ephakathi, elibheke ngasentla, apho bekuhleli khona umfanekiso wobukhwele okhweletisayo.
4. Nabo ke bukhona ubuqaqawuli bukaThixo kaSirayeli, bunjengombono endawubonayo entilini leyo.
5. Wathi kum, Nyana womntu, khawuphakamise amehlo akho, ukhangele ngasentla. Ndawaphakamisa ke amehlo am, ndakhangela ngasentla: nanko ngasentla kwesango lesibingelelo kukho loo mfanekiso wobukhwele usekungeneni kwalo.
6. Wathi kum, Nyana womntu, uyakubona na abakwenzayo? Ngamasikizi amakhulu la, iwenzayo apha indlu kaSirayeli, ukuze ndikhwelele kùde nengcwele yam; usaya kubuya ubone amasikizi amakhulu kunalá.
7. Wandisa ke ekungeneni kwentendelezo; ndabona, nango umngxuma eludongeni.
