ngakho Wabayisa ethekwini labo abalifisayo.
Yeka ukuthi abantu bangadumisa uJehova ngobuhle bakhe,
nangezimangaliso zakhe kubantwana babantu!
Mabamphakamise nasebandleni labantu,
nimdumise ebandleni labadala.
Uphendula imifula ibe yihlane,
nemithombo yamanzi ibe emhlabathini owomileyo;
Izwe elithelayo libe ugwadule,
ngobubi balabo abahlala khona.
Uphendula ihlane libe amanzi amile,
nomhlabathi owomileyo ube yimithombo yamanzi.
Futhi lapho Uhlalisa abalambileyo,
ukuze balungise umuzi wokuhlala;
Futhi hlwanyela amasimu, nitshale izivini,
okungase kuthele izithelo zokwanda.
Uyababusisa nabo, ukuze bande kakhulu;
futhi akazivumeli izinkomo zabo ukuba zinciphe.
Futhi, bancipha, bathotshiswe ngokucindezelwa,
usizi, nosizi.
Uthela indelelo phezu kwezikhulu,
wabazulazula ehlane,
lapho ingekho indlela.
Nokho uyambeka ompofu phezulu osizini,
wamenza imindeni njengomhlambi.
Abalungileyo bayokubona, futhi ujabule:
nobubi bonke buyakuvala umlomo wabo.
Ohlakaniphileyo, njalo bazagcina lezizinto,
bona bayakuqonda umusa kaJehova.
