1. Liveni ilizwi likaYehova, nyana bakaSirayeli; ngokuba uYehova ubambene nabemi belizwe eli; ngokuba kungekho nyaniso, kungekho nceba, kungekho kwazi uThixo kweli lizwe.
2. Kukushwabula, nokuxoka, nokuncinitha, nokuba, nokukrexeza; bagqobhozile, igazi liphathelele kwigazi.
3. Ngenxa yoko ilizwe lenza isijwili, zithokombisile zonke izinto ezimi kulo; izinto eziphilileyo zasendle, neentaka zezulu, kwaneentlanzi zolwandle, ziyasuswa.
4. Kodwa makangabambani omnye nomnye, omnye makangamohlwayi omnye; abantu bakowenu banjengobambene nombingeleli.
5. Wòkhubeka emini, umprofeti enawe akhubeke ebusuku, ndimtshabalalise unyoko.
6. Bayatshabalala abantu bam kukuswela ukwazi; kuba wena ukucekisile ukwazi, ndiya kukucekisa, ukuba ungabi ngumbingeleli kum. Wawulibala umyalelo kaThixo wakho; ndobalibala abantwana bakho nam.
7. Okukhona bandileyo, kokukhona bonileyo kum; uzuko lwabo ndiya kulwananisa ngocukucezo.
8. Badla idini lesono labantu bam; umphefumlo wabo bawuphakamisela ebugwenxeni babo.
9. Kuya kuthi, njengoko banjalo abantu, abe njalo umbingeleli; ndizivelele iindlela zakhe kuye, ndizibuyìsele kuye iintlondi zakhe.
10. Bodla bangahluthi; bahenyuze bangàndi; ngokuba bekuyekile ukumphulaphula uYehova.
11. Uhenyuzo, newayini, newayini entsha, ziwexula intliziyo.
12. Abantu bam babùzisa kumthi wabo; nentonga yabo iyabaxelela; ngokuba umoya wobuhenyu ubalahlekisile; bahenyuzé bemka phantsi koThixo wabo.
13. Babingelela ezincotsheni zeentaba, baqhumisele ezindulini phantsi kwemioki* nemipopulari* nemiterebhinti,* kuba ulungile umthunzi wayo; ngenxa yoko ziyahenyuza iintombi zenu, bayakrexeza oomolokazana benu.
