1 Mina ngiphephela kuThixo.

Pho ungatsho kanjani kimi ukuthi:

"Balekela entabeni yakho njengenyoni.

2 Ngoba, khangela, ababi sebewanwebile amadandili abo;

imitshoko yabo sebeyixhume ezintanjeni

ukuthi batshoke becatshile emathunzini

beciba labo abaqotho ezinhliziyweni.

3 Kambe nxa kubhidlizwa izisekelo,

kuyini abangakwenza abalungileyo na?"

4 UThixo usethempelini lakhe elingcwele;

uThixo usesihlalweni sakhe sobukhosi basezulwini.

Uyawakhangela amadodana abantu;

amehlo akhe ayabahlola.

5 UThixo uyabahlola abalungileyo,

kodwa ababi lalabo abathanda udlakela

uyabazonda ngomoya wakhe wonke.

6 Ababi uzabehlisela amalahle avuthayo lesalufa etshisayo;

umoya otshisayo uzabahaqaza.

7 Ngoba uThixo ulungile,

uthanda ukwahlulela okuhle;

abaqotho bazabubona ubuso bakhe.
