1 Yabonani, isandla sikaYehova asisifutshane, ukuba singasindisi; nendlebe yakhe ayinzima, ukuba ingevi.
2 Bubugwenxa benu obunahlukanisileyo noThixo wenu, zizono zenu ezibusithelisileyo ubuso bakhe kuni, ukuba angevi.
3 Kuba izandla zenu zidyobhekile ligazi, neminwe yenu bubugwenxa; nomlomo wenu uthetha ubuxoki, ulwimi lwenu ludumzela ubugqwetha.
4 Akukho uvakalisa ilizwi elinobulungisa, akukho umangalelana nomnye enyanisile; bakholosé ngochuku, bathethé inkohlakalo; bakhawula ububi, bazale ubutshinga.
5 Baqandusela amaqanda erhamba, baluka izindlu zesigcawu. Lowo udla amaqanda abo uya kufa; elinyathelweyo liqandulelwa inyushu.
6 Imisonto yabo ayiyi kuba yingubo, nemisebenzi yabo ayiyi kubagubungela. Izenzo zabo zizenzo zobutshinga; ukusebenza ngogonyamelo kusezandleni zabo.
7 Iinyawo zabo zigidimela ebubini, zikhawuleze ukuya kuphalaza igazi elimsulwa; iingcinga zabo ziingcinga zobutshinga; emendweni wabo kukubhuqa nokwaphula.
