1Ndodana yami, gcina amazwi ami, ugcine imiyalo yami kuwe.
2Gcina imiyalo yami, uphile; nomthetho wami njengenhlamvu yeso lakho.
3Kubophe eminweni yakho, ukulobe esibhebheni senhliziyo yakho.
4Yisho ekuhlakanipheni ukuthi: ‘Ungudadewethu; futhi ubize ukuqonda ngokuthi isihlobo sakho.
5Ukuze zikuvikele kowesifazana ongaziwayo, kowemzini othophayo ngamazwi akhe.
6Ngokuba efasiteleni lendlu yami ngalunguza ohlakeni lwami,
7Bheka, phakathi kwabangenalwazi ngabona phakathi kwabasha insizwa engenangqondo.
8Dlula esigcawini eduze negumbi lakhe; wahamba waya endlini yakhe.
9Kuhwalala, kusihlwa, kumnyama kumnyama;
10Bheka, kwamhlangabeza owesifazane, embethe isifebe, enobuqili enhliziyweni;
11(Ulukhuni, unenkani, izinyawo zakhe azihlali endlini yakhe;
12Manje ungaphandle, manje usezitaladini, futhi uqamba amanga futhi ucupha emamagumbini onke.)
13Ngakho wambamba, wamanga, wathi kuye ngobuso obunamahloni:
14Nginemihlatshelo yokubonga kanye nami; namuhla ngigcwalise izifungo zami.
15Ngalokho ngaphuma ukukuhlangabeza, ngabudinga ubuso bakho, ngakuthola;
16Umbhede wami ngawuhlobisa ngezindwangu ezibaziweyo, ngelineni elicolekileyo laseGibithe.
17Ngawufaka amakha umbhede wami ngemure, inhlaba nesinamoni.
18Wozani sisuthiseke ngothando kuze kuse; asiziduduze ngothando.
19Ngenxa yokuthi indoda enhle ayikho ekhaya, inohambo olude endleleni yayo.
20Wathatha isikhwama semali wahamba naye futhi uzobuyela ekhaya ngosuku olumisiwe.
21Ngenkulumo yakhe enhle kakhulu wamenza wanengwa, ngokuthopha kwezindebe zakhe wamphoqa.
22Ugijima masinyane emva kwakhe njengenkabi iyiswa ekuhlatshweni, nanjengesiwula ukuqondisa izinduku;
23Umcibisholo uze ungene esibindini sakhe; njengenyoni igijimela ogibeni, ingazi ukuthi kungenxa yomphefumulo wayo.
24Manje, bantwana, ngilaleleni, nilalele amazwi omlomo wami.
25Inhliziyo yakho mayingantengantenga ngezindlela zakhe, ungaduki emikhondweni yakhe.
26Ngokuba waphonsa phansi abaningi abalimele, yebo, amadoda amaningi anamandla abulawa nguye.
27Indlu yakhe iyindlela eya endaweni yabafileyo, eyehlela emakamelweni okufa.
