2 Babusisiwe abagcina imiyalo yakhe, abamfuna ngenhlizyo epheleleyo,
3 abangakwenzi okungalungile, kodwa abahamba ezindleleni zakhe.
4 Uyalile ukuba izimiso zakho zigcinwe impela.
5 Sengathi izindlela zami zingagxila ekugcineni izimiso zakho;
6 khona ngingeyukujabha, lapho ngihlonipha yonke imiyalelo yakho.
7 Ngizakukubonga ngenhliziyo eqotho, lapho ngifunda izehlulelo zakho ezilungileyo.
8 Ngizozigcina izimiso zakho; uze ungangishiyi.
9 Omusha angayigcina kanjani indlela yakhe ihlanzekile na? Ngokugcina okwezwi lakho.
10 Ngikufunile ngenhliziyo yami yonke, mangingaphambuki emiyalweni yakho.
11 Enhliziyweni yami ngiyalilonda izwi lakho, ukuze ngingoni kuwe.
12 Mawubongwe Wena Simakade, ungifundise izimiso zakho.

18 Vula amehlo ami ukuba ngibone izimangaliso ezisemthethweni wakho.
19 Ngingumfokazi emhlabeni, ungangifihleli imiyalo yakho.
20 Umphefumulo wami waphukile, ngokuba ngihlala ngilangazelela izehlulelo zakho.

39 Dlulisa kimi inhlamba engiyesabayo, ngokuba izehlulelo zakho zinhle.
40 Ngilangazelela iziyalezo zakho; ngokulunga kwakho ngiphilise.
41 Umusa wakho mawuze kimi, Simakade, insindiso yakho ngokwezwi lakho.
