4 Apho kungekho nkomo, umkhombe wesitali uba ze; Indyebo eninzi iza ngamandla enkomo.

5 Ingqina elinyanisileyo aliwathethi amanga; Ke lifutha amanga ingqina elixokayo.

6 Umgxeki ufuna ubulumko, angabuzuzi; Ukwazi kulula konengqondo.

17 Ozekanekayo wenza ukumatha; Indoda yamayelenqe ithiyekile.

18 Ilifa leziyatha kukumatha; Abanobuqili banxiba isithsaba sokwazi.

19 Abenzi bobubi basibekeka phambi kwabalungileyo; Abangendawo bema emasangweni amalungisa.

20 Ihlwempu lithiywa nangummelwane walo; Ke bona abathanda isityebi baninzi.

22 Abayi kulahleka yini na abayila ububi? Inceba nenyaniso iba nabayila okulungileyo.

23 Ekubulalekeni konke kubakho ungeniselo; Ke ukuthetha komlomo kubanga ukuswela kodwa.

24 Busisithsaba sezilumko ubutyebi bazo; Ukumatha kwezinyabi kukumatha.

25 Ingqina lenyaniso lihlangula imiphefumlo; Ke elifutha amanga liyinkohliso.

26 Ekoyikeni uYehova kukho inkoloseko eliqele, Abantwana bakhe baba nendawo yokuzimela.27 Ukoyika uYehova lithende lobomi, Ukuze kusukwe ezirhintyelweni zokufa.

28 Busebuninzini babantu ubungangamela bokumkani; Kusekupheleni koluntu ukutshabalala kwesidwangube.

29 Ozeka kade umsindo unengqondo eninzi; Ke yena ozekanekayo ucaphula ukumatha.

30 Bubomi benyama intliziyo epholileyo; Ke lona ikhwele yimpehla emathanjeni.

31 Ocudisa isisweli ungcikiva uMenzi waso; Olibabalayo ihlwempu uyamzukisa.

32 Ongendawo uyangqulwa bububi bakhe; Ke ilungisa linehlathi ekufeni kwalo.

33 Entliziyweni yonengqondo buyaphumla ubulumko; Ke embilinini wesinyabi buyazazisa.

34 Ubulungisa buyaluphakamisa uhlanga; Isono lihlazo lezizwe.
