UZimu uhlunguphaza iinkhohlakali
1Kumkhaleli; irhubo lakaDavida.
2Zimu, yewungizwe ekububuleni kwami,
londoloza ukuphila kwami
ekwethuselweni sisitha.
3Ngifihle esicathaneni sabenzi bobumbi,
iye, ekutjitjizeleni kweengilamkhuba;
4kilabo abalola ilimu labo njengesabula,
abasophe amezwi anesihlungu njengemisubela,
5kilabo abadumuza onganacala ngokukhukhuthela,
bamdumuze angakalindeli.
Abantwaba abanavalo;
6bakhuthazana ngehloso embi,
babonisana ngokufihla izifu,
bathi: “Akungabi nokubonako lokhu.
7Izenzo ezimbi azibonakali,
thina simsulwa, isitjhatjhaniso siphethekile!”
Omunye nomunye wabo utjhidela ngesibindi.
8Kodwana uZimu uzobadumuza ngomsubela,
masinyana balimale.
9Ilimu labo lizabenza bakhutjwe;
boke abababonako bathintithe iinhloko,
10iye, boke bazakubethwa livalo.
Bazakukhuluma lokho uZimu akwenzileko,
balemuke izenzo zakhe.
11Olungileko uzakuthaba kuSomnini
begodu aphephele kuye.
Boke abaqotho ngehliziyo bazamdumisa.
