1. Memelela, ludlolo lungazaliyo; gqabhuka umemelele, utsholoze, wena ungenanimba; ngokuba baninzi abantwana besishiywa, ngaphezu kwabantwana bonendoda; utsho uYehova.
2. Yenze banzi indawo yentente yakho, uwatwabulule amalengalenga eminquba yakho, ungathinteli; zolule izintya zakho, uziqinisele izikhonkwane zakho.
3. Kuba ùya kutyhobozela ekunene nasekholo, imbewu yakho izidle ilifa iintlanga, iyime imizi ebingamanxuwa.
4. Musa ukoyika, ngokuba akuyi kudana; musa ukudideka lihlazo, ngokuba akuyi kuba nazintloni. Ngokuba ukudana kobuntombi bakho ùya kukulibala, ungcikivo lobuhlolokazi bakho ungabi salukhumbula.
5. Ngokuba indoda yakho nguMenzi wakho, ogama lakhe linguYehova wemikhosi; nguMkhululi wakho oyiNgcwele kaSirayeli, ekuthiwa nguThixo wehlabathi lonke.
6. Ngokuba uYehova ukubize njengomfazi obeshiyiwe, omoya ubulalekileyo, njengomfazi wobutsha, xeshikweni ebethe wacekiswa; utsho uThixo wakho.
7. Ndakushiya okwephanyazo elincinane; ndiya kukubutha ngemfesane enkulu.
8. Ngomkhukula woburhalarhume ndabusithelisa ubuso bam kuwe okwephanyazo; ndiya kuba nemfesane kuwe ngenceba engunaphakade; utsho uMkhululi wakho uYehova.
9. Ngokuba injengonogumbe kaNowa le nto kum; oko ndafungayo ukuba amanzi kaNowa akasayi kuba sahamba phezu kwehlabathi, ngokunjalo ndifungile ukuba andiyi kuba naburhalarhume kuwe, ndingakukhalimeli.
10. Ngokuba zingáde zimke iintaba, neenduli zishukume; yona inceba yam ayiyi kumka kuwe, ungashukumi nomnqophiso wam woxolo; utsho onemfesane kuwe, uYehova.
11. Wena lusizana, uphetshethwayo ungenantuthuzelo, yabona, ndiwabeka amatye akho kwistibhiya,* ndikuseka ngeesafire.*
12. Ndolumisa uqoqo lwakho ngeerubhi,* namasango akho ngamatye abengezelayo, nemida yakho yonke ngamatye anqabileyo.
