1 Kodwa khawukuve, Yobhi, ukuthetha kwam, Uwabekele indlebe amazwi am onke.2 Khawubone, ndiwuvulile umlomo wam, Luyathetha ulwimi lwam ekhuhlangubeni lam.3 Akukuthi tye kwentliziyo yam amazwi am; Ukwazi komlomo wam akuthetha kanyulu.4 UMoya kaThixo wandenza, Nokuphefumla kukaSomandla kundidlise ubomi.5 Ukuba unako, ndiphendule; Yakha uluhlu amazwi phambi kwam; misa.6 Uyabona, njengawe ndingokaThixo; Ndacatshulwa eludongweni nam.7 Yabona, ukothusa kwam akuyi kukudandathekisa; Nokushicilela kwam akuyi kuba nzima phezu kwakho.

8 Okunene, uthethe ezindlebeni zam, Ndaliva ilizwi lokukhuluma, lisithi,9 Ndiqaqambile, andinalukreqo; Ndiguxiwe, andinabugwenxa.10 Yabona, ufuna izizekabani zokuthibana nam, Uthi ndilutshaba lwakhe.11 Uzifaka iinyawo zam esitokisini, Uwulinga wonke umendo wam.12 Yabona akulungisi ngaloo nto; ndokuphendula; Kuba uThixo yena mkhulu kunomntu.13 Yini na ukuba ubambane naye, Kuba engaphenduli ngeendawo zakhe zonke?

14 Kanti, hayi, ngendlela enye uThixo uyathetha, Nangezimbini, ke akukhathalwa.15 Ephupheni, embonweni wasebusuku, Bakuwelwa bubuthongo obukhulu abantu, Ekozeleni elukhukweni;16 Uzityhila oko iindlebe zabantu, Akutywine akuvingce ukuthethiswa kwabo,17 Ukuze amthinte umntu ekwenzeni into, Agubungele uqhankqalazo lomfo;18 Awunqande umphefumlo wakhe esihogweni, Nobomi bakhe bungagqitheli emkhontweni.

19 Wohlwaywa umntu ngumvandedwa esililini sakhe, Nayimfazwe esimakade emathanjeni akhe;20 Ubomi bakhe bukwale ukudla, Nomphefumlo wakhe wale ukudla okunqwenelekayo.21 Iyadleka inyama yakhe, ingabonakali, Avele amathambo akhe abengabonakali.22 Uyasondela ke esihogweni umphefumlo wakhe, Nobomi bakhe kubabulali.23 Ukuba ke kuthe kwakho isithunywa sezulu Esimlamlelayo, noko sisinye ewakeni, Sokumxelela umntu okumfaneleyo:24 Wombabala, athi, Mkhulule, angehli aye esihogweni, Kuba ndilufumene ucamagusho.25 Isuka ibe nentlahla inyama yakhe; Ubuyela emihleni yobudodana bakhe;26 Uthandaza kuThixo, akholiswe yena nguye; Abubone ubuso bakhe eduma; Yena ambuyekeze ke umntu ubulungisa bakhe.27 Lo uvuma ebantwini, athi, Bendonile, ndakugwenxa okuthe tye, Akwalinganiselwa kum njengoko noko.28 Uwukhulule umphefumlo wam, ukuba ungagqitheli esihogweni, Nobomi bam bokubona ukukhanya.

29 Yabona, oko konke uyakwenza uThixo Izihlando ezibini nezithathu kumfo,30 Ukuba abuyise umphefumlo wakhe esihogweni, Ukhanye ngokukhanya kobomi.31 Baza indlebe, Yobhi, phulaphula kum; Yithi tu, ndithethe mna.32 Ke ukuba unokuthetha, ndiphendule; Thetha, kuba ndifuna ukukugwebela.33 Ukuba akukho, phulaphula kum wena; Yithi tu, ndikufundise ubulumko.
