1. Athi ke mna! Kuba ndisuke ndaba njengokuhlanganiswa kweziqhamo zasehlotyeni, njengokubhikicwa kweediliya; akukho sihloko sakudliwa; akukho khiwane liqalelayo, linqwenelwayo ngumphefumlo wam.
2. Udakile owenceba, àkabakho ehlabathini; akasekho nothe tye phakathi koluntu; bonke bephela balalela igazi, elowo uzingela umzalwana wakhe ngomnatha.
3. Izandla zabo zozibini zisentweni embi ukuba ziyifeze; uthi umthetheli acele ngegunya, umgwebi enzele umvuzo; omkhulu yena uthetha ububi bomphefumlo wakhe; benjenjalo ke ukuyiphotha.
4. Olungileyo kubo unjengomtholo, othe tye ugqithisele nakuthango lweminga; iyéza imini yababoniseli bakho, yokuvelelwa kwakho, kubekho ngoku ukudideka kwabo.
5. Musani ukukholwa nguwenu, ningakholosi ngekholwane; nakolele esifubeni sakho, zígcine iingcango zomlomo wakho.
6. Ngokuba unyana úmenza isidenge uyise, intombi isukela phezulu kunina, umolokazana kuninazala; iintshaba zomntu ngabantu bendlu yakhe.
7. Mna ke ndiya kuqwalasela kuYehova; ndiya kulindela kuThixo wokusindiswa kwam; úya kundiva uThixo wam.
8. Musa ukundivuyelela, lutshaba lwam; kuba, ndíwile nje, ndiya kubuya ndivuke; kuba, ndíhleli emnyameni nje, uYehova uya kuba kukukhanya kum.
9. Ukujala kukaYehova ndiya kukuthwala, kuba ndonile kuye, ade andithethelele etyaleni lam, andilungisele; uya kundikhuphela ekukhanyeni; ndiya kububona ubulungisa bakhe.
10. Ke utshaba lwam luya kubona, lugutyungelwe kukudana, obe lusithi kum, Uphi na uYehova, uThixo wakho? Amehlo am aya kulubona; kungoku luya kunyathelwa njengodaka lwezitrato.
11. Iyéza imini yokwakhiwa kweendonga zakho; ngaloo mini úya kuba kude ummiselo.
12. Ngaloo mini boza kuwe, bevela eAsiriya nasemizini yaseYiputa, bethabathela eYiputa, bade base kuwo uMlambo;* bethabathela elwandle, base elwandle; bethabathela entabeni base entabeni.
13. Kuya kuba senkangala elizweni, ngenxa yabemi balo, ngenxa yeziqhamo zeentlondi zabo.
14. Yalusa abantu bakho ngentonga yakho, iigusha zelifa lakho, ezihleli zodwa, ehlathini phakathi kweKarmele; mazidle eBhashan nakwelaseGiliyadi, ngokweemini zasephakadeni.
15. Ngokweemini zokuphuma kwakho ezweni laseYiputa, ndiya kubabonisa imisebenzi ebalulekileyo.
16. Iintlanga ziya kubona, zibudanele ubugorha bazo bonke; ziya kubeka isandla emlonyeni, iindlebe zazo ziya kuba zizithulu.
17. Ziya kukhotha uthuli njengenyoka, njengezinambuzane zehlabathi; ziya kuphuma zigungqa ekuvingcelweni kwazo; ziya kuya zinkwantya kuYehova uThixo wethu, zoyike phambi kwakho.
18. Ngubani na onguThixo onjengawe, oxolela ubugwenxa, adlule esikreqweni samasalela elifa lakhe? Akawugcini unaphakade umsindo wakhe; kuba yena uthanda ukwenza inceba.
19. Wóbuya abe nemfesane kuthi, abunyathelele phantsi ubugwenxa bethu; wòziphosa ezinzulwini zolwandle zonke izono zabo.
20. Ùya kumnika uYakobi inyaniso, umnike uAbraham inceba, owabafungela yona oobawo kususela kwimihla yamandulo.
