2 Kwafika ukukhukhumala, kofika ukucukucezwa;Bunabathozamileyo ubulumko.
3 Ingqibelelo yabathe tye iyabakhapha;Ukuphenula kwamanginingini kuyawabhuqa.
4 Àbunyusi ubuncwane ngemini yokuphuphuma komsindo;Ubulungisa buyahlangula ekufeni.
5 Ubulungisa bogqibeleleyo bulungelelanisa indlela yakhe;Ongendawo uwa kwangokungendawo kwakhe.
6 Ubulungisa babathe tye buyabahlangula;Amanginingini athiwa hlasi kwayimbimbithelo yawo.
7 Ekufeni komntu ongendawo liyaphela ithemba lakhe;Ukulinda kwabanamandla obudoda kutshabalele.
8 Ilungisa liyahlangulwa embandezelweni,Kufike ongendawo esikhundleni salo.
9 Intshembenxa iyamonakalisa ummelwane wayo ngomlomo;Ke ayahlangulwa amalungisa ngokwazi.
10 Isixeko siyadlamka ngokuhlala kakuhle kwamalungisa;Ekutshoneni kwabangendawo kuyamemelelwa.
11 Ngentsikelelo yabathe tye síyaphakanyiswa isixeko;Ngomlomo wabangendawo siyahleleleka.
12 Odela ummelwane wakhe uswele intliziyo;Ke indoda enengqondo ihlala ithi tu.
13 Ohamba ehleba uhlakaza ucweyo;Ke yena omoya unyanisileyo uyayigubungela into.
14 Kwakuba kungekho mbonisi, bayawa abantu;Usindiso lusebuninzini bamaphakathi.
15 Kubi kakhulu komele omnye;Ke yena okuthiyayo ukumela omnye ukholosile.
16 Umfazi osimilo silungileyo uzizekela uzuko;Abanobungqwangangqwili bazizekela ubutyebi.
17 Uwuphethe kakuhle umphefumlo wakhe umtu onenceba;Isijorha siyihlisele ishwangusha inyama yaso.
18 Ongendawo usebenzela umvuzo oyinkohliso;Ke yena ohlwayela ubulungisa unomvuzo oyinyaniso.
19 Ubulungisa obububo busingisa ebomini;Ophuthuma ububi usingisa ekuzibulaleni kwakhe.
20 Ngamasikizi kuYehova abantliziyo zijibilizayo;Ukholwa ngabo bandlela zigqibeleleyo.
21 Ukakade onobubi akabi msulwa;Ke yona imbewu yamalungisa iyasínda.
22 Likhonkco legolide ethatheni lehaguInzwakazi eswele izimvo.
23 Umnqweno wamalungisa yinto elungileyo yodwa;Ithemba labangendawo kukuphuphuma nje komsindo.
24 Kukho ohlakazayo, aye esanda ngokwanda;Kukho nozinqandayo kokumfaneleyo, oko kube yintswelo yodwa.
25 Umphefumlo osikelelayo uyatyetyiswa;Oseza ahluthise abanye, uyasezwa ahluthe naye.
26 Omangala nengqolowa, luyamqalekisa uluntu;Intsikelelo isentlokweni yothengisa ngayo.
27 Ozondelele okulungileyo ufuna okwamkelekileyo;Ongxamele ububi, buya kumfikela.
28 Okholosa ngobutyebi bakhe uya kuwa yena;Ke amalungisa aya kuhluma njengamagqabi.
29 Ogxugxisa indlu yakhe uya kudla ilifa elingumoya;Isimathane soba ngumkhonzi kontliziyo ilumkileyo.
30 Isiqhamo selungisa ngumthi wobomi;Umbambisi wemiphefumlo sisilumko.
31 Yabona, ilungisa liyavuzwa ehlabathini;Wobeka phi na ke ongendawo nomoni!
