Ogcotshiweyo kaJehova

1 Kungani ukuba abezizwe baxokozele,

nabantu bazindle ngokuyize na?

2 Amakhosi omhlaba ayazihlanganisa,

nababusi baceba icebo

ngoJehova nangogcotshiweyo wakhe ngokuthi:

3 “Masigqabule izibopho zabo,

silahle izintambo zabo, zisuke kithina.”

4 Yena ohlezi ezulwini uyahleka,

iNkosi iyabadelela.

5 Ibisikhuluma kubo ngentukuthelo yayo,

ibethuse ngolaka lwayo, ithi:

6 “Nokho ngibekile iNkosi yami eSiyoni,

intaba yami engcwele.”

7 Ngizakulanda ngesinqumo:

uJehova wathi kimi:

“Uyindodana yami wena;

namuhla ngikuzele.

8 Cela kimi,

ngikunike abezizwe babe yifa lakho,

nemikhawulo yomhlaba ibe yimfuyo yakho.

9 Uzakubaphula ngentonga yensimbi,

ubaphahlaze njengesitsha sombumbi.”

10 Ngakho hlakaniphani nina makhosi;

yalekani nina bahluleli bomhlaba.

11 Mkhonzeni uJehova ngokwesaba, nethabe ngokuthuthumela.

12 Yangeni indodana,

ingaze ithukuthele,

nibhubhe endleleni,

ngokuba ulaka lwayo luyakuvutha masinyane.

Babusisiwe bonke abaphephela kuyo.
