1. Wasusela uElihu, wathi,
2. Yivani, nina zilumko, ukuthetha kwam;Nina zâzi, ndibekeleni indlebe.
3. Ngokuba indlebe iyakucikida ukuthetha,Ikhuhlangubo liyakuva ukudla.
4. Masizinyulele okusesikweni,Sikwazi phakathi kwethu okulungileyo.
5. Ngokuba úthe uYobhi, Ndililungisa,UThixo ulisusile ibango lam.
6. Kuthiwa ndiyaxoka, noko likhoyo ibango lam;Liyabulala inxeba lam lotolo, noko ndingenalukreqo.
7. Úphi na umfo onjengoYobhi,Yena ukuselayo ukugcula njengamanzi?
8. Athelele kubenzi bobutshinga,Ahambe namadoda angendawo?
