1UJobe wasephendula wathi:
2“Sengezwa izinto ezinengi ezifana lalezi;
3Zizaphela nini inkulumo zokubhuda kwenu lokhu?
4Lami bengingakhuluma njengani
5Kodwa umlomo wami ngabe uyaliqinisa;
6Kodwa nxa ngikhuluma, ubuhlungu obukimi kabudedi;
7Ngeqiniso, Nkulunkulu, usungiqede amandla;
8Usungibophile sekuyibo ubufakazi balokho;
9UNkulunkulu uyanginxwanela angidlikize ngolaka lwakhe,
10Abantu bavula imilomo yabo bengihoza;
11UNkulunkulu usenginikele ebantwini ababi
12Konke kwakukuhle kimi, kodwa wangibhidliza;
13abacibi bemtshoko bakhe bangihanqile.
14Ungisukela njalonjalo;
15Sengithungele isembatho sesaka emzimbeni wami
16Ubuso bami sebubomvu ngokukhala,
17kodwa izandla zami kaziluqhelanga udlakela,
18Awu mhlaba, ungaligqibeli igazi lami;
19Lakhathesi ufakazi wami usezulwini;
20Umeli wami ngumngane wami
21uyamncengela umuntu kuNkulunkulu
22Kusasele iminyakana engemingaki
