Niyichithelani imali kukho okungesiso isinkwa, nenzuzo yenu kukho okunganelisiyo, na? Ngilaleleni nokungilalela, nidle okuhle, umphefumulo wenu ujabule ngamanoni.    3. Bekani izindlebe, nize kimi, nizwe, uyakuphila umphefumulo wenu; ngiyakwenza nani isivumelwano esiphakade, izenzo zomusa oqinisekileyo zikaDavide.    4. Bheka, ngimnike abe ngufakazi kubantu, umholi nomyali kubantu.    5. Bheka, uyakubiza izizwe ongazaziyo, nezizwe ebezingakwazi ziyakugijimela kuwe ngenxa kaJehova uNkulunkulu wakho nangenxa yoNgcwele ka-Israyeli, ngokuba ukudumisile."    6. Mfuneni uJehova esenokutholwa, nimbize eseseduze.    7. Omubi makashiye indlela yakhe, nomuntu owenza okubi imicabango yakhe, abuyele kuJehova, uyakuba nomusa kuye, yebo, abuyele kuNkulunkulu wethu, ngokuba uyakwenza ukuthethelela kube kukhulu.    8.

Ngokuba njengokwehla kwemvula neqhwa ezulwini, kungabuyeli khona, kepha kuwunethisa umhlaba, kuwenze ukuba uthele, uhlume, unike ohlwanyelayo inhlwanyelo nodlayo isinkwa,    11. liyakuba njalo izwi lami eliphuma emlonyeni wami: aliyikubuyela ze kimi, lingakafezi lokhu engikufunayo, liphumelele kulokhu engilithumele kukho.    12. Ngokuba niyakuphuma ngokuthokoza, niholwe ngokuthula; izintaba namagquma kuyakuqhumuka ngokuhlabelela phambi kwenu, nemithi yonke yasendle iyakushaya ihlombe.    13. Esikhundleni sogagane kuyakumila umsayipuresi, nasesikhundleni samakhakhasi kuyakumila umbomvana. Kuyakuba yigama kuJehova, nesibonakaliso esingapheliyo esingayikunqunywa."
