1 Basaba bengasukelwa nto abangendawo;Ke wona amalungisa akholosa njengengonyama.
2 Ngokreqo lwelizwe baba baninzi abathetheli balo;Ngomntu onengqondo, onokwazi, ukuzinza kwalo kuyoluka.
3 Umfo oyintloko ekucudiseni izisweliYimvula etshayelayo, ingasalisi kudla.
4 Abashiya umyalelo badumisa abangendawo;Ke abawugcinayo umyalelo bayazixhokonxa ngabo.
5 Abantu abanobubi abakuqondi okusesikweni;Ke bona abamquqelayo uYehova baqonda izinto zonke.
6 Lilungile ihlwempu elihamba ngengqibelelo yalo,Ngaphezu komjibilizi ondlela mbini, nakuba esisityebi.
7 Obamba umyalelo ngunyana onengqondo;Ke olikholwane labachithi uhlaza uyise.
8 Owongeza ubuncwane bakhe ngokudla abanye, nangolwandiso,Ubuthela obabala izisweli.
9 Osusa indlebe yakhe ekusiphulaphuleni isiyalo,Kwanomthandazo wakhe ulisikizi.
10 Obalahlekisayo abathe tye ngendlela enobubi,Kuya kweyela yena esihogweni sakhe,Bona abagqibeleleyo bakudle ilifa okulungileyo.
11 Ilumkile indoda esisityebi kwawayo amehlo;Ke isisweli esinengqondo siyayigocagoca.
12 Ekudlamkeni kwamalungisa kwanda uzuko;Ekuphakameni kwabangendawo, àbaveli nokuvela abantu.
13 Osigubungelayo isono sakhe akayi kuba nampumelelo;Ke yena osivumayo, asishiye, uya kufumana inceba.
14 Hayi, uyolo lomntu ohlala enkwantya;Ke yena ontliziyo ilukhuni uya kweyela ebubini.
15 Uyingonyama egqumayo, uyibhere* ebhaduliswa kukulamba,Umlawuli ongendawo kubantu abazizisweli.
16 Hayi, ingànga iswele ukuqonda, enokucudisa okuninzi!Othiye inzuzo embi wolula imihla yakhe.
17 Umntu onovalo ngegazi lomphefumloUsabela nasemhadini; makangabanjezelwa.
18 Ohamba ngengqibelelo uya kusindiswa,Ke umjibilizi ondlela mbini weyela okukanye.
19 Owusebenzayo umhlaba wakhe uya kuhlútha sisonka;Osukela izinto ezingento uya kuhlútha bubuhlwempu.
20 Indoda enyanisekileyo ineentsikelelo ezininzi;Ke yena ongxamayo ukuba sisityebi, akabi msulwa.
21 Ukukhetha ubuso akulungile;Ngenxa yeqhekeza lesonka umntu angáde aphosise.
22 Indoda eliso libi ikhawulezela ukutyeba;Ayazi ukuba ukuswela kuya kuyifikela.
23 Omohlwayayo umntu wothi kamva afumane ubabalo,Ngaphezu kocengacengayo ngolwimi.
24 Ophanga uyise nonina, athi, Asilukreqo,Ulidlelane lendoda engumonakalisi.
25 Omphefumlo ubawayo uxhaya ingxabano;Ke yena okholose ngoYehova uyatyetyiswa.
26 Okholose ngeyakhe intliziyo usisidenge;Ke yena ohamba ngobulumko uya kusinda.
27 Opha ihlwempu akasweli;Ke yena ofihla amehlo akhe uneengqalekiso ezininzi.
28 Ekuphakameni kwabangendawo bayasithela abantu;Ekutshabalaleni kwabo ayanda amalungisa.
