1 Ùlilungisa, Yehova, xa ndibambeneyo nawe; ndothetha iindawo ezisesikweni zodwa. Kungathuba lini na ukuba indlela yabangendawo ibe nempumelelo, babe nokuchulumacha bonke abanginiza benginizile?
2 Ùbatyéle, bendela nokwendela iingcambu; bayakhula, benze neziqhamo. Ùsondele emlonyeni wabo, wakude ezintsweni zabo.
3 Wena, Yehova, uyandazi; uyandibona, uyicikida intliziyo yam enawe. Báqweqwedíse njengeegusha, baxhelwe, ubangcwalisele umhla wokubulawa.
4 Kunini na ilizwe linesijwili, umfuno wamasimi onke womile? Ngenxa yeento ezimbi zabemi balo, ziphephethekile iinkomo neentaka; ngokuba besithi, Akayi kulibona ikamva lethu.
5 Xa ùgidime nabeenyawo, bakudinisa, wòthini na ukushiyiselana namahashe? Xa ukholose ngelizwe elinoxolo, wòthini na ekweneni kweYordan?
