UJehova uNkulunkulu wamehlis ela umuntu ubuthongo obunzima , walala; wayesethatha olunye lwezimbambo zakhe, wavala indawo ngenyama.

Nganginjalo; emini ngaqedwa ngukushisa , ebusuku ngamakhaza ; ubuthongo bami babalekela amehlo ami.

Walala ubuthongo , waphupha ngokwesibili ; bheka, kwahluma izikhwebu eziyisikhombisa ezeleni linye, zibhoxile, zizinhle.

UJayeli umkaHebere wayesethatha isikhonkwane setende, waphatha isando ngesandla, wanyonyobela kuye , wambethela esikhaleni sendlebe ngesikhonkwane, sagqobhoza, saphumela emhlabathini , ngokuba wayelele ubuthongo obukhulu ediniwe; wafa kanjalo.

Wamlalisa ubuthongo emathangeni akhe , wabiza umuntu , waphucula amagoda ayisikhombisa ekhanda lakhe ; waqala ukumhlupha, amandla akhe amuka kuye.

ODavide no -Abishayi bafika kubantu ebusuku ; bheka, uSawule wayelele ubuthongo ezinqoleni , umkhonto wakhe ugxunyekiwe emhlabathini ngasekhanda lakhe; u-Abineri nabantu bakhe babelele ngakuye nxazonke.

Wavuka phakathi kwamabili , wathatha umfana wami eceleni kwami , incekukazi yakho ilele ubuthongo, wambeka esifubeni sakhe, wabeka umfana wakhe ofileyo esifubeni sami.

ubuthongo obuncane, ukozela okuncane, ukusonga izandla kancane kuze kulalwe,

Walala ubuthongo phansi konwele ; bheka, kwamthinta ingelosi, yathi kuye: Vuka udle.

Ubuthongo besisebenzi bumnandi , noma sidla okuyingcosana noma okuningi, kepha ukusutha kocebileyo akumvumeli ukuba alale.

Lapho ngibeka inhliziyo yami uku kwazi ukuhlakanipha nokubona umshikashika owenziwa emhlabeni , ngokuba akakho obona ubuthongo ngamehlo akhe imini nobusuku,

Ngalobo busuku ubuthongo babaleka enkosini , yayala ukuba kulethwe incwadi yezikhumbuzo zezindaba zemihla ngemihla , zafundwa p hambi kwenkosi.

Ngokuba kalokhu ngakube ngilele , ngithule; khona ngakube ngilele ubuthongo nginokuphumula

Ngizakucambalala ngokuthula , ngilale ubuthongo , ngokuba wena Jehova wedwa ungihlalisa ngokulondeka.

Bheka neno, ungiphendule, Jehova Nkulunkulu wami; khanyisa amehlo ami, ngize ngingalali ubuthongo bokufa,

Bachithekile abaqinile ngenhliziyo , balele ubuthongo babo; amaqhawe awafumanisanga izandla zawo.

angiyikunika amehlo ami ubuthongo, nezinkophe zami ukozela

Lapho ulala phansi, awuyikwesaba lutho; nanxa usulale phansi, ubuthongo bakho buyakuba mnandi.

Ngokuba abalali , uma bengenzanga okubi ; ubuthongo buyasuswa , uma bengakhubekisanga muntu.

Unganiki amehlo akho ubuthongo, nezinkophe zakho ukozela.

Ubuthongo obuncane, ukozela okuncane, ukusonga izandla kancane kuze kulalwe,

Obutha ehlobo uyindodana ehlakaniphileyo ; olele ubuthongo ngesikhathi sokuvuna uyindodana ehlazisayo.

Ungathandi ubuthongo , funa ufikelwe ngubumpofu ; vula amehlo akho , uyakusutha ngesinkwa.

Kulokhu ngase ngivuka, ngabheka; ubuthongo bami babumnandi kimi.

Sebevuthile, ngiyakubenzela idili , ngibadakise ukuze baq uleke, balale ubuthongo obuphakade, bangavuki, usho uJehova.

Ngiyakudakisa izikhulu zalo nezihlakaniphi zalo, nezinduna zalo, nababusi balo, namaqhawe alo ; bayakulala ubuthongo obuphakade , bangavuki, isho iNkosi egama layo linguJehova Sebawoti.

Esakhuluma nami , ngalala ubuthongo obukhulu , ubuso bami bubheke phansi; kepha wangithinta, wangimisa lapho kade ngimi khona.

Ngase ngizwa izwi lamazwi akhe ; lapho ngezwa izwi lamazwi akhe , ngase ngilele ubuthongo obukhulu, ubuso bami bubheke phansi.

Khona amatilosi esaba , akhala, kwaba yilelo nalelo kunkulunkulu walo , aphonsa elwandle impahla ebisemkhunjini ukuba ube lula kubo. Kepha uJona wayehlele phakathi komkhumbi, wayeselele ubuthongo.

Kwase kusondela kuye induna yomkhumbi , yathi: Unani wena olele ubuthongo na? Vuka, ubize uNkulunkulu wakho; mhlawumbe lo Nkulunkulu uyakusikhumbula ukuba singabhubhi.

Kuthe besahamba ngomkhumbi , walala ubuthongo ; kwehlela-ke isivunguvungu somoya elwandle, bagcwala amanzi, babesengozini.

Kepha uJesu wayekhuluma ngokufa kwakhe, kepha bona babethi ukhuluma ngokulala ubuthongo.

Wayeseguqa phansi , wamemeza ngezwi elikhulu , wathi: Nkosi, ungababaleli lesi sono. Eseshilo lokho walala ubuthongo.

Ngokuba uDavide esekhonzile icebo likaNkulunkulu esizukulwaneni sakhe, walala ubuthongo, wabekwa koyise, wabona ukubola.
