¹UYehova wamphendula uYobhi, wathi,"

²Wobambana noSomandla na ke umthethiswa? Umohlwayi kaThixo makakuphendule oko."

³UYobhi wamphendula uYehova, wathi,"

⁴Yabona, ndiphantsi. Ndothini na ukuphendula? Ndibeka isandla sam emlonyeni wam."

⁵Ndithethile kwakanye, andiyi kuphinda ndiphendule; Ndithethile kwakabini, andiyi kuphinda ndibuye ndiqhube."

⁶UYehova wamphendula uYobhi, esemoyeni ovuthuzayo, wathi,"

⁷Khawuzibhinqise amanqe akho njengomfo; Ndiya kukubuza, undazise."

⁸Kanene uya kwaphula nogwebo lwam na, Undigwebe, ukuze ube lilungisa?"

⁹Unengalo enjengekaThixo na, Ududume ngezwi njengaye?"

¹⁰Khawuzihombise ke ngobungangamsha nokuphakama kwakho, Wambathe indili nobungangamela."

¹¹Makuphalale ukuphuphuma komsindo wakho, Ulibone lonke ikratshi, uligungxule."

¹²Libone lonke ikratshi, ulithobe, Ubangqule abangendawo ezindaweni zabo."

¹³Baqhusheke eluthulini kunye, Ububophe ubuso babo emfihlekweni."

¹⁴Nam ndokudumisa, Ukuba sikusindisile isandla sakho sokunene."

¹⁵Khawuyibone imvubu endayenza yanawe: Idla utyani njengenkomo."

¹⁶Khawubone, amandla ayo asemanqeni ayo, Nokuqina kwayo kusezinyameni zesisu sayo."

¹⁷Igoba umsila wayo njengomsedare, Imisipha yamathanga ayo ibhijelene."

¹⁸Amathambo ayo anjengemibholompo yobhedu, Amathambo ayo anjengemivalo yesinyithi."

¹⁹Iyintlahlela yeendlela zikaThixo; UMenzi wayo wayinika ikrele layo."

²⁰Ngokuba iintaba ziyithwalela ukudla, Onke amarhamncwa asendle adlala khona."

²¹Ibutha phantsi kwemitholo, Engcotyeni yeengcongolo nomgxobhozo."

²²Imitholo iyigubungela ngomthunzi wayo; Imingculuba yesihlambo iyayijikeleza."

²³Yabona, uhamba phandle umlambo, ayiphakuzeli; Ikholosile, xa kutyhobozela neYordan emlonyeni wayo."

²⁴Inokubanjwa na, inamehlo nje, Igqojozwe impumlo ngentsimbi yokuthiyela?"
