The eyes of all wait for thee, and thou give them their food in due season.
16 Uyavula isandla sakho, usuthise isifiso sakho konke okuphilayo.

Jehovah is near to all those who call upon him, to all who call upon him in truth.
19 Yenza isifiso sabayesabayo, iyezwa ukukhala kwabo, ibasindise.
He will fulfill the desire of those who fear him. He also will hear their cry and will save them.
20 INkosi iyabalondoloza bonke abayithandayo; kodwa bonke ababi izababhubhisa.
Jehovah preserves all those who love him, but he will destroy all the wicked.
21 Umlomo wami uzakhuluma indumiso yeNkosi, layo yonke inyama ibonge ibizo layo elingcwele kuze kube nini lanini.
My mouth shall speak the praise of Jehovah. And let all flesh bless his holy name forever and ever.
