Wayesevuka, wathatha masinyane uhlaka lwakhe, waphuma phambi kwabo bonke, baze bamangala bonke, bamdumisa uNkulunkulu , bathi: Asizange sikubone okunje.

UDavide uqobo lwakhe washo ngoMoya oNgcwele ukuthi : INkosi yathi eNkosini yami : Hlala ngakwesokunene sami , ngize ngibeke izitha zakho phansi kwezinyawo zakho.

UDavide uqobo lwakhe umbiza ngokuthi iNkosi . Pho, uyindodana yakhe kanjani na? Ukusolwa kwababhali (Math. 23: 1; Luk. 20: 45) Isixuku esikhulu sasimuzwa ngokujabula.

Ngokuba akukho muntu owenza utho ekusithekeni , efuna yena uqobo lwakhe abe sobala. Uma wenza lezi zinto, zibonakalise wena kulo izwe.

Okhuluma ngokwakhe ufuna udumo lwakhe ; kepha ofuna udumo lomthumileyo lowo uqinisile; akukho ukungalungi kuye.

Uma nigcina imiyalo yami , niyakuhlala othandweni lwami , njengalokho mina ngigcinile imiyalo kaBaba ngihlala othandweni lwakhe.

Eseshilo lokho wabakhombisa izandla nohlangothi lwakhe. Base bethokoza abafundi beyibona iNkosi.

Ngakho lokhu engumprofethi , ekwazi ukuthi uNkulunkulu waye fungile kuye ngesifungo ukuthi enzalweni yokhalo lwakhe uyakubeka omunye esihlalweni sakhe sobukhosi,

Ngokukholwa uJakobe esezakufa wabusisa leyo naleyo yamadodana kaJosefa, wakhuleka encikile esihlokweni sodondolo lwakhe.

Uma umuntu esho ukuthi uyikholwa , engabophi ulimi lwakhe kungathi ngetomu kodwa ekhohlisa inhliziyo yakhe, ukukhonza kwalowo kuyize.
