 3 UThixo ukhe agwebe kakubi na kakade?

USomandla ukhe abugqwethe na ubulungisa?

 4 Ukuba oonyana bakho bamonile,

Uye wabayekela bohlwaywa ngenxa yokuvukela kwabo;

 5 Kodwa ukuba nje wena ubunokukhalela kuThixo,+

Uze umcenge uSomandla ukuba akwenzele inceba,

 6 Ukuba nyhani ubumsulwa, ulilungisa,+

Ebeza kukuhoya,*

Akubuyisele zonke izinto zakho.

 7 Nangona isiqalo sakho besisincinci,

Lona ikamva lakho beliza kuqaqamba.+

 8 Khawubuze isizukulwana sangaphambili,

Uze ujonge izinto ezabonwa ngootata baso.+

 9 Kaloku thina sizelwe izol’ oku, asazi nto,

Kuba imihla yethu emhlabeni sisithunzi nje.

10 Ngaba abayi kukuyalela,

Bakuxelele izinto abazaziyo?*

12 Zingathi zingekakulungeli ukukhiwa,

Zome kuqala kunezinye izityalo.

13 Siba njalo ke nesiphelo somntu omlibalayo uThixo,

Kuba akukho themba kulowo umlahlileyo uThixo.

14 Kaloku yena ungqiyama ngendlu yesigcawu;

Ithemba lakhe lilize.

15 Uya kuthi esayama ngendlu yakhe, suke iwohloke,

Athi esabambelela kuyo, ingemi.

16 Ufana nesityalo esinkcenkceshelweyo esiselangeni,

Esinamasebe anwenwela kwigadi yonke.+

17 Iingcambu zakhe zibhijeleke kwimfumba yamatye,

Ulakhela kuwo ikhaya lakhe.*

18 Kodwa xa encothulwa* endaweni yakhe,

Loo ndawo iza kumkhanyela ithi, ‘Zange ndakubona mna.’+

19 Leyo yindlela aza kunyamalala ngayo,+

Kuthi gqi abanye eluthulini.

20 Kaloku uThixo akanakumlahla umntu omsulwa,

Ibe akabaxhasi* abenzi-bubi,

21 Kuba useza kukwenza uhlale uhleka,

Ukhwaze uvuya.

22 Abo bakucaphukelayo baza kuthiwa wambu ngehlazo,

Nentente yabenzi-bubi ingabikho.”
