17 Ndawudla ndedwa umthamo wam,Ayadla inkedama kuwo:
18 Hayi bo! Kwasebuncinaneni bam inkedama yakhulela kum, ngathi ikuyise,Ndamalathisa umhlolokazi nasesizalweni sikama.
19 Ukuba ndibe ndimbona otshabalalayo engenanto yokwambatha,Ihlwempu lingenanto yokuzigubungela;
20 Ukuba abengàndisikeleli amanqe akhe,Àkazifudumeza ngoboya beemvana zam;
21 Ukuba bendilingisile ngesandla sam kwinkedama,Ngokuba bendiboné uncedo lwam esangweni:
22 Igxalaba lam maliwe esixhantini salo,Nomkhono wam waphuke ethanjeni lawo.
23 Bekuya kuba kum ukunkwantya, ukusindeka nguThixo,Ndikhohlwe phambi kokuphakama kwakhe.
