1 Kuthe bakuqala ukwanda abantu ehlabathini, bakuzalelwa iintombi,
2 bazibona oonyana bakaThixo iintombi zabantu ukuba zintle, bazeka abafazi kuzo zonke abazinyuláyo.
3 Wathi uYehova, UMoya wam akayi kulawula ebantwini ngonaphakade; ekulahlekeni kwabo bayinyama; imihla yabo iya kuba yiminyaka elikhulu elinamanci mabini.
4 Kwakukho iingxilimbela ehlabathini ngaloo mihla; kananjalo emveni koko, xeshikweni oonyana bakaThixo bangenáyo kuzo iintombi zabantu, zabazalela abantwana. Aba baba ngamagorha ababekho kwasephakadeni, amadoda adumileyo.
5 Wabona uThixo ukuba ububi babantu bandile ehlabathini, konke ukuyila kweengcinga zentliziyo yabo kubububi bodwa imihla yonke.
6 Wazohlwaya uYehova, ngokuba emenzile umntu ehlabathini, kwaba buhlungu kuye entliziyweni.
7 Wathi uYehova, Ndiya kumcima umntu endimdalileyo, angabikho ehlabathini, kuthabathele emntwini kuse ezinkomeni, kuse ezinambuzaneni, kuse ezintakeni zezulu, ngokuba ndizohlwaya ngokuba ndizenzile ezo zinto.
