1 Ke uYobi waphendula wenjenje:
2 “Zonke ezi zinto nindixelela zona sendikhe ndaziva ngaphambili;inene, xa ninonke ningabathuthuzeli abangento.
3 Ngaba le ntshwaqane yenu ayinasiphelo?Nomelezwa yintoni kangaka engxoxweni?
4 Nam bendingathethayo ngolo hlobo xa ibinini abakule meko ndikuyo;bendiya kuthetha nani ndimana ndichan' amagama,ndide ndimane ndihlunguzela intloko.
5 Bendiya kunomeleza ngamacebiso,ndinithuthuzele ngamazwi alalanisayo.
6 “Kambe ke, nokuba ndiyathetha, intlungu le ayisuki;kanti ke nokuba ndithule, kusafana.
7 Hayi ke, ngoku uThixo undiqobile;usapho lwam uluvuthulule bhuqe!
8 Ndifunyenwe nguye, kwaza oko kwaba bubungqina bokundityhola;ukonakala komzimba wam bubungqina obundidobelelayo.
9 Ngale ngqumbo yakhe undiqwengile wandenzakalisa;undisinekele ngaloo mazinyo akhe;yena mchasi wam uyandijamela.
10 Abantu bathetha ngam bendigxeka;bandimpakaza esidleleni ngengcikivo,bebonke badibana ngokundichasa.
11 UThixo undiyekele ngezaphula-mthetho,wandinikela ezandleni zezikhohlakali.
12 Mna bendingacingele nto, suka ke yena wandintlekeza,wandibamba ngobhongwana, wandiqwenga.Ewe, mna sendiyeyona nto ajolise kuyo.
13 Abeentolo bakhe bandirhawule;undincule izintso engenalusini,wayiphalazela emhlabeni inyongo yam.
14 Undingxwelerhe wada wandiqusha;ufunzela kum okwejoni.
15 “Ngoku sendithe wambu ezokuzila;uphondo lwam luseluthulini.
16 Sendilile ndada ndambatsha;ke wona amehlo am ade af' amnyama.
17 Kambe ke phofu mna andinabundlongo-ndlongo,nomthandazo wam kuThixo awunakumbi.
18 “Yini na, mhlaba!Sukulingcwab' igazi lam!Isikhalo sam masivakale!
19 Kaloku nangoku ingqina lam lisemazulwini;ewe, ukho ongakum ondithethelelayo kweliphezulu.
20 Sendiyintlekisa nakwizihlobo zam;ke iinyembezi zam ndiziphalaza phambi koThixo.
21 Akwaba ebenokulamla phakathi komntu noThixonjengoko ebakho umlamli phakathi komntu nomhlobo wakhe!
22 Kuba kaloku akuseminyaka mingaphi ndithathe uhambo olungabuyiyo.”
