1 Usho kanje uJehova, uthi:“Izulu liyisihlalo sami sobukhosi,umhlaba uyisenabelo sezinyawo zami;iphi leyo ndlu ebeniyakungakhela yona,iphi indawo yami yokuphumula, na?
2 Zonke lezi zinto zenziwe yisandla sami,kwavela kanjalo konke lokhu,” usho uJehova.“Kepha yilowo engiyakubheka kuye:ohluphekayo nonomoya ochobozekileyo,othuthumela ngezwi lami.
3 Ohlaba inkunzi ebulala nomuntu,nohlaba iwundlu eyaphula nentamo yenja,nonikela ngomnikelo wempuphu,kepha enikela nangegazi lezingulube,noshisa inhlaka, ebonga nesithombe,yebo, laba bakhethile izindlela zabo,nemiphefumulo yabo iyathokoza ngezinengiso zabo.
4 Ngalokho ngiyakubakhethela izinhlupho,ngibehlisele abakwesabayo,ngokuba ekubizeni kwami kwakungekho ophendulayo,nasekukhulumeni kwami abezwanga,kepha benza okubi emehlweni ami,bakhetha lokhu engingathokozanga ngakho.”
5 Yizwani izwi likaJehovanina enithuthumela ngezwi lakhe.“Abafowenu abanizondayo,abanixosha ngenxa yegama lami,bashilo bathi:‘Makazidumise uJehovaukuba sibone intokozo yenu,’kepha bona bayakujabha.
6 Yizwi lomsindo elivela emzini,yizwi lasethempelini!Yizwi likaJehovaephindisela izenzo zezitha zakhe.
7 “ISiyoni lingakabi namihelo lazala;lingakehlelwa ngubuhlungu labeletha umntwana wesilisa.
