Kumqondisi wokuhlabela. Ngendlela yemahalathi. Ihubo likaDavida.
1 Isiwula sithi enhliziyweni yaso,
“AkulaNkulunkulu.”
Baxhwalile, lezindlela zabo zibolile;
kakho loyedwa owenza okuhle.
2 UNkulunkulu ukhangela phansi esezulwini
emadodaneni abantu
ingabe bakhona yini abazwisisayo,
abamdingayo uNkulunkulu.
3 Abantu bonke baphambukile,
bonke sebexhwalile;
kakho loyedwa owenza okuhle,
kakho lamunye.
4 Kanti lezizixhwali kaziyikufa zafunda yini?
Zona ezidla abantu bami ingathi zidla isinkwa,
ezingamkhonziyo uNkulunkulu.
5 Kodwa yibo abagubhazeliswa luvalo
khona kungelalutho olwesabekayo.
UNkulunkulu wawahlakaza amathambo alabo abalihlaselayo;
lina labayangisa ngoba uNkulunkulu wabeyisa.
6 Sengathi insindiso ka-Israyeli ingaqhamuka eZiyoni!
Nxa uNkulunkulu esebuyisela impumelelo yabantu bakhe,
kathokoze uJakhobe lo-Israyeli ajabule!
