kepha abesifazane , nabantwana, nezinkomo, nakho konke okusemzini, yebo, yonke impango yawo , uyakukuthatha kube yimpango yakho , uyidle impango yezitha zakho uJehova uNkulunkulu wakho akunike yona.

Buyelani ematendeni enu nemfuyo eningi : izinkomo eziningi kakhulu , nesiliva, negolide, nethusi, nensimbi, nezingubo eziningi, nabelane impango yezitha zenu nabafowenu.

Kakhulu kangakanani, uma abantu bebedlile impela impango yezitha zabo abayifumanayo, ngokuba nga engabulawanga kakhulu amaFilisti na?

Noma kusukuma umuntu ukukuxosha nokufuna ukuphila kwakho , umphefumulo wenkosi yami uyakube uboshiwe emshuqulwini wabaphilayo kuJehova uNkulunkulu wakho ; imiphefumulo yezitha zakho uyakuyijikijela kungathi iphakathi kwendwayimana.

UDavide esefike eSikilagi wathuma enye impango kumalunga akwaJuda nakubo abangane bakhe, ethi: Bhekani, naso isipho senu sempango yezitha zikaJehova:

Zikhethele noma indlala yeminyaka emithathu , noma ukuchithwa yizitha zakho iz inyanga ezintathu uficwa yinkemba yezitha zakho , noma izinsuku ezintathu zenkemba kaJehova nesifo ezweni , ingelosi kaJehova ichithe emikhawulweni yonke yakwa -Israyeli. Manje zibonele izwi engiyakulibuyisela kongithumileyo.

Jehova, ngihole ngokulunga kwakho ngenxa yezitha zami, ulungise indlela yakho phambi kobuso bami.

Iso lami liyafiphala ngokudabuka; liyaguga ngenxa yezitha zami zonke.

Ngifundise indlela yakho , Jehova, ungihole endleleni ekhanyay o ngenxa yezitha zami.

Unganginikeli entandweni yezitha zami ; ngokuba ofakazi bamanga bangivukele kanye nabafutha ukudlozomela.

Ngenxa yezitha zami zonke sengaba yisihlamba , ikakhulu kubakhelwane bami ngaba ngobesabisayo abang ane bami ; abangibona endleleni bayangibalekela.

UJehova uyakumlondoloza , amphilise; uyakubusiswa emhlabeni ; awuyikumnikela entandweni yezitha zakhe.

Imicibisholo yakho ib ukhali, izizwe ziyawa phansi kwakho ; isenhliziyweni yezitha zenkosi.

Sondela kuwo umphefumulo wami , uwuhlenge, ngikhulule ngenxa yezitha zami.

Ngokuba usho kanje uJehova, uthi: Bheka, ngiyakukwenza ukuba ube luvalo kuwe uqobo nakubo bonke abangane bakho ; bayakuwa ngenkemba yezitha zabo, amehlo akho akubone ; ngiyakunikela wonke uJuda esandleni senkosi yaseBabele, ibathumbele eBabele, ibabulale ngenkemba.
