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.
