Ihubo 12
Kumqondisi wokuhlabela. Ngendlela yesheminithi. Ihubo likaDavida.
Siza Thixo, ngoba kabasekho abakholwayo;
abathembekileyo sebenyamalele kabasekho ebantwini.
Bonke baqamba amanga kubomakhelwane babo;
izindebe zabo eziyengayo
zihlezi zikhuluma inkohliso esezinhliziyweni zabo.
 
Sengathi uThixo angaziquma zonke izindebe ezikhohlisayo
kanye laluphi ulimi oluzikhukhumezayo
oluthi, “Sizanqoba ngendimi zethu;
izindebe zethu zizasilwela
ngubani oyinkosi yethu na?”
 
“Ngenxa yokuncindezelwa kwabayanga lokububula kwabaswelayo,
sengizavuka khathesi,” kutsho uThixo.
“Ngizabavikela kulabo ababachukuluzayo.”
Njalo amazwi kaThixo amsulwa,
njengesiliva esicengwe esithandweni somlilo esebumba,
njengegolide elihlanjululwe kasikhombisa.
 
Oh Thixo, uzahlala usiphephisile
njalo usivikele ebantwini ababi nini lanini.
Ababi bayaklamasa santando
nxa bebona izinto ezilihlazo zidunyiswa ngabantu.
