1 Kuba kukhó apho iphuma khona isilivere,Nendawo yegolide abayihluzayo.
2 Isinyithi sithatyathwa eluthulini,Banyibilikisa amatye abe lubhedu.
3 Baphelisa ubumnyama,Bebhekisa eziphelweni zonke,Begocagocela amatye asesithokothokweni nawasebumnyameni obuthe shinyi.
4 Bemba umngxuma kude kwabemiyo,Belityelwe lunyawo lwabahambi;Baxhomekile bekude nabantu, bayajinga.
5 Umhlaba — kuphuma ukutya kuwo;Umzantsi wawo ubhukuqwa ngathi ngumlilo.
6 Indawo yesafire* ngamatye awo,Amagada egolide akuyo;
7 Yingqushu engaziwa xhalanga,Engathiwanga nzo liso lantloyiya,
8 Enganyathelwanga thole lanyamakazi inyalasayo,Engahanjwanga nayingonyama.
9 Usa isandla sakhe nakwiqhwitha,Uzibhukuqa ezingcanjini iintaba.
10 Ugqobhoza imijelo emaweni;Libona zonke izinto ezinqabileyo iliso lakhe.
11 Uvingca imilambo ingavuzi,Okufihlakeleyo akukhuphele emhlotsheni.
12 Ke bona ubulumko bufunyanwa phi na?Iphi na indawo yengqondo?
13 Àkalazi umntu ixabiso labo;Àbufunyanwa ezweni labahleliyo.
14 Amanzi enzonzobila athi, Àbukum;Ulwandle luthi, Àbunam.
15 Àkurholwa golide ithe shinyi esikhundleni sabo;Àkulinganiswa silivere ibe yintengo yabo.
16 Abumelwa yigolide ecikizekileyo yakwaOfire,Nesardonisi* enqabileyo, nesafire.*
17 Azinakulingana nabo igolide negilas;Abunakwananana neempahla zegolide engcwengiweyo.
18 Zingasakhunjulwa iikroale* neekristale,*Ukuzuzwa kobulumko kuphezu kweeperile.*
19 Ayinakulingana nabo itopazi* yakwaKushi;Abumelwa yigolide ecikizekileyo, ecocekileyo.
20 Ubulumko buvela phi na ke,Yiyiphi na indawo yengqondo?
21 Bufihlakele emehlweni eento zonke eziphilileyo;Busithakele nasezintakeni zasezulwini.
22 Inzonzobila nokufa kuthi,Sibuvile ukubuva ngendlebe.
23 NguThixo oyiqondayo indlela yabo,Nguye oyaziyo indawo yabo.
24 Kuba yena ubheka eziphelweni zehlabathi,Ubona phantsi kwamazulu onke;
25 Ngokuwenzela umoya ubunzima bawo,Namanzi awalinganise ngomlinganiso;
26 Ekuyenzeleni kwakhe imvula ummiselo,Nombane wendudumo indlela:
27 Waza wabubona, wabubala;Wabumisa, wabugocagoca nokubugocagoca;
28 Wathi emntwini: Yabona, ukoyika iNkosi, bubulumko obo,Nokutyeka ebubini kuyingqondo.
