Isibili, umuntu uhambahamba esesithunzini; isibili, bayakhathazeka ngeze; uyabuthelela, kodwa kazi ukuthi ngubani ozakubutha.
7 “Koma tsopano Ambuye kodi ndifunanso chiyani? Chiyembekezo changa chili mwa Inu.
Pho-ke, ngilindeleni, Nkosi? Ithemba lami likuwe.
8 Pulumutseni ku zolakwa zanga zonse; musandisandutse chonyozeka kwa opusa.
Ngikhulula kuzo zonke iziphambeko zami. Ungangenzi ihlazo lesithutha.
9 Ine ndinali chete; sindinatsekule pakamwa panga pakuti Inu ndinu amene mwachita zimenezi.
Ngaba yisimungulu, kangivulanga umlomo wami, ngoba wakwenza wena.

Lapho ulaya umuntu ngokukhuza ngenxa yesiphambeko, wenza ubuhle bakhe buncibilike njengenundu; isibili ngulowo lalowomuntu uyize. (Sela)
12 “Imvani pemphero langa Inu Yehova, mverani kulira kwanga kopempha thandizo; musakhale chete pamene ndikulirira kwa Inu, popeza ndine mlendo wanu wosakhalitsa; monga anachitira makolo anga onse.
Zwana umkhuleko wami, Nkosi, ubeke indlebe ekukhaleni kwami; ungathuleli izinyembezi zami, ngoba ngingowemzini kuwe, ohlala njengowezizwe, njengabo bonke obaba.
13 Musandiyangʼane mwaukali, choncho ndidzatha kusangalala ndisanafe ndi kuyiwalika.”
Ungangihwaqeli ukuze ngihlumelele, ngingakasuki, ngingabe ngisaba khona.
