Ukumdumisa uNkulunkulu uMninimandla onke ngenxa yezenzo zakhe ezinhle
1Yethabani kuJehova nina-balungileyo;
ukudumisa kubafanele abaqotho.
2Bongani uJehova ngehabhu*;
mdumiseni ngogubhu oluzintambo ziyishumi.
3Mhubeleni ihubo elisha,
nibethe kahle ngenhlokomo.
4Ngokuba izwi likaJehova lilungile;
zonke izenzo zakhe ziyakholeka.
5Uthanda ukulunga nokwahlulela;
umhlaba ugcwele umusa kaJehova.
6Ngezwi likaJehova izulu lenziwa,
namabandla onke ngomoya womlomo wakhe.
7Ubuthela ndawonye amanzi olwandle njengenqwaba;
uwabeka ajulileyo ezinqolobaneni.
8Umhlaba wonke mawumesabe uJehova;
bonke abakhileyo ezweni mabathuthumele phambi kwakhe.
9Ngokuba wakhuluma, kwaba-khona;
wayaleza, kwema khona.
10UJehova uchitha icebo labezizwe;
uphuthisa imicabango yabantu.
11Icebo likaJehova limi phakade,
nemicabango yenhliziyo yakhe ezizukulwaneni ngezizukulwane.
12Sibusisiwe isizwe esiNkulunkulu waso nguJehova,
isizwe asikhethileyo sibe-yifa lakhe.
13UJehova uyabheka esezulwini;
uyababona bonke abantwana babantu.
14Esendaweni lapho ehlala khona
uyababuka bonke abakhileyo ezweni,
15yena owadala izinhliziyo zabo bonke,
oqaphela zonke izenzo zabo.
16Ayikho inkosi esindiswa ngobuningi bempi yayo;
isiqhwaga asikhululwa ngobukhulu bamandla aso.
17Ihashi liyize ekusindiseni,
alihlangulisi ngobukhulu bamandla alo.
18Bheka, iso likaJehova liphezu kwabamesabayo,
abathemba umusa wakhe,
19ukuba akhulule umphefumulo wabo ekufeni,
abaphilise endlaleni.
20Umphefumulo wethu ulindela uJehova;
ungukusiza kwethu nesihlangu sethu.
21Ngalokho inhliziyo yethu ithokoza ngaye,
ngokuba sithemba igama lakhe elingcwele.
22Umusa wakho, Jehova, mawube-phezu kwethu,
njengalokhu sithemba wena.
