uYobhi ubuza abahlobo bakhe umbuzo

1Waphendula uYobhi, wathi:

2Kodwa nina ningabantu, yaye ubulumko buya kufa nani.

3Nam ke ndinentliziyo njengani; Andingomncinane kuwe; Ewe, ngubani na ongazaziyo izinto ezinjalo?

4Ndisuke ndanjengomntu oyintlekisa kummelwane wakhe, Engonqula uThixo, andiphendule; indoda elungileyo iyahlekwa.

5Unjengesibane esidelekileyo, esisentliziyweni yothi cwaka, osisibane sentliziyo yakhe.

6Iintente zamasela ziba nempumelelo, nabo bagculela uThixo bakhuselekile; abathe uThixo watyeba esandleni sakhe.

7Kodwa khawubuze ezinkomeni, zokuyala; neentaka zezulu ziya kukuxelela;

8Thetha nehlabathi, lokuyala, neentlanzi zolwandle zokuxelela.

9Ngubani na ongaziyo ngezo zinto zonke, ukuba sisandla sikaYehova esizenzileyo?

10Usesandleni sakhe umoya wezinto zonke eziphilileyo, Nomoya wabantu bonke.

11Indlebe ayiyi kukucikida na ukuthetha? Nomlomo wayo uyingcamla kweyakhe inyama?

12Kudala ubulumko; nangobude bemihla ukuqonda.

13Unobulumko namandla, unecebo nokuqonda;

14Yabona, iyawa, ayinako ukwakhiwa kwakhona; uvala umntu, kwaye akayi kuvulwa.

15Yabona, uyawavala amanzi, uyatshisa; Waphinda wabathuma, bawubhukuqa umhlaba.

16Kuye amandla nobulumko;

17Ubahlutha abacebi ababhuqiweyo, Azenze izinyabi abagwebi.

18Ukhulula amathambo ookumkani, Abophe umbhinqo emanqeni abo.

19Uyabathabatha abathetheli abaphangiweyo, ababhukuqe abanamandla.

20Uyayishenxisa intetho yabathembekileyo, ayishenxise ingqondo yabadala.

21Uphalazela amanene ungcikivo, Uwathobe amandla amagorha.

22Utyhila iinzulu zasebumnyameni, Akhuphe ithunzi lokufa.

23Wandisa iintlanga, azitshabalalise; Uziphangalalisa iintlanga, aziphanzise;

24Uzishenxisile iintliziyo zabaphathi beentlanga elimiweyo, Ababhadulisa entlango apho kungekho ndlela.

25Ziphamza emnyameni kungekho kukhanya, Azibhadulise njengenxila.
