1 Iqhekeza elomileyo lesonka, kunye nokuchulumacha, lilungileNgaphezu kwendlu ezele yimibingelelo, enembambano.
2 Umkhonzi onengqiqo uya kumlawula unyana owenza okuziintloni,Ahlule ilifa phakathi kwabazalwana.
3 Ukhamba lolokunyibilikisa isilivere; iziko lelokunyibilikisa igolide;Umcikidi weentliziyo nguYehova.
4 Onobubi uwubazela indlebe umlomo onenkohliso,Uphulaphula ubuxoki obuselulwimini olweyeliselayo.
5 Ogculela ihlwempu ungcikiva uMenzi walo;Ovuyela inkxwaleko akabi msulwa.
6 Isithsaba samadoda amakhulu ngoonyana boonyana;Isihombo soonyana ngooyise.
7 Ayisifanele isidenge intetho ekhukhumeleyo;Yobeka phi na ke ukungalifaneli inene intetho ebubuxoki.
8 Sililitye elinqabileyo emehlweni omninilo isicengo,Apho asukuba ebheka khona, wenza ngengqiqo.
9 Ugubungela isikreqo ofuna uthando;Ophinda ayithethe into wahlula amakholwane.
10 Ukukhalinyelwa kuyangena konengqondoNgaphezu kwemivumbo elikhulu kosisinyabi.
11 Oneenkani ufuna ububi bodwa;Ngoko ke uthunyelwa umthunywa osisijorha.
12 Kanye qubisana nebhere* ehluthwe amathole ayo,Ungaqubisani nesinyabi ekumatheni kwaso.
13 Obuyekeza okubi esikhundleni sokulungileyo,Àbuyi kusuka ububi endlwini yakhe.
14 Kukuvulela amanzi ukuqala kwengxabano;Yiyeke imbambano kungekavunganyelwana.
15 Omgwebelayo ongendawo, kwanoligwebayo ilungisa,Bangamasikizi kuYehova bobabini.
16 Lelokwenzani na inani elisesandleni sesinyabi, lokurhweba ubulumko,Singenantliziyo nje?
17 Umhlobo uthanda ngamaxesha onke;Umzalwana uzalelwe imbandezelo.
18 Umntu oswele intliziyo ngobambana nomnye ngesandla,Ngomela umelo phambi kowabo.
19 Uthanda ukreqo othanda ukulwa;Owuphakamisayo umnyango wakhe ufuna ukuqhekeka.
20 Ontliziyo ijibilizayo akayi kukufumana okulungileyo;Ophenduka ngolwimi lwakhe weyela ebubini.
21 Ozala isinyabi uzizalela isingqala;Akanaluvuyo uyise wesidenge.
22 Intliziyo evuyileyo iyalungisa, ichachise;Umoya odakumbileyo uyawomisa amathambo.
23 Ongendawo wamkela isicengo esivela esondweni lengubo,Ukuze agqwethe indlela esesikweni.
24 Ubuso bonengqondo bubheke ebulumkweni;Ke amehlo esinyabi asekupheleni kwehlabathi.
25 Úbubuhlungu bukayise unyana osisinyabi;Úbubukrakra kumzalikazi wakhe.
26 Àkulungile ukuhlawulisa nelungisa,Nokubetha amanene ngenxa yokuthe tye.
27-28 Owanqandayo amazwi akhe unokwazi:Omoya upholileyo yindoda enengqondo.Kwanesimathane, ukuba sihleli sathi tu, kuthiwa sisilumko;Singàwuvingca umlomo waso, kuthiwa sinengqondo.
