19Ngaleso sikhathi wakhuluma ngombono kwabethembekileyo bakho, wathi: “Ngimsizile onamandla, ngimphakamisile okhethwe phakathi kwabantu.
20Ngiyifumene inceku yami, uDavide, ngayigcoba ngamafutha ami angcwele.

28Umusa wami ngiyomgcinela wona kuze kube phakade; isivumelwano sami siyohlala siqinile kuye.
29Uzalo lwakhe ngiyolwenza lume kuze kube phakade, isihlalo sakhe sobukhosi siyokuma, inqobo nje kusekhona isibhakabhaka.
30“Uma abantwana bakhe bewushiya umthetho wami, bengahambi ngezehlulelo zami,
31uma bephula izimiso zami, bengayigcini imiyalo yami,
32ngiyakujezisa iziphambeko zabo ngenduku, namacala abo ngemivimbo.
33Kepha umusa wami angiyukuwususa kuye, ngingaphikisi ukuthembeka kwami.
34Isivumelwano sami angiyukusaphula, nengikukhiphe ngezindebe zami angiyukukuguqula.

37Bayakuma kuze kube phakade njengenyanga, ibe ngufakazi esibhakabhakeni.”
38Nokho ogcotshiweyo wakho usumlahlile, wamala, wamthukuthelela.
39Usichithile isivumelwano senceku yakho, wawungcolisa othulini umqhele wayo.
40Udilize zonke izindonga zakhe, wazenza izinqaba zakhe zaba yincithakalo.
41Bonke abadlula ngendlela bayamphanga, useyihlazo kwabakhelene naye.
42Uphakamise esokunene sezitha zakhe, wajabulisa zonke izitha zakhe.
43Futhi uyenze yaba buthuntu inkemba yakhe, awumsekelanga empini.
44Uyisusile inkazimulo yakhe, wasiwisa phansi emhlabathini isihlalo sakhe sobukhosi.
45Uzifinyezile izinsuku zobusha bakhe, wamthela ngamahloni.
46Simakade, kuyoze kube nini uzisithile, nentukuthelo yakho ivutha njengomlilo na?
47Khumbula ukuthi isikhathi sami singakanani, nokuthi bonke abantwana babantu wabadalela ize.
48Ngubani oyophila angakuboni ukufa, akhulule umphefumulo wakhe emandleni endawo yabafileyo na?
