Kuyakuvela ihlumela esiqwini sikaJese,
kuphume igatsha ezimpandeni zakhe.
UMoya kaJehova uyakuhlala phezu kwakhe,
umoya wokuhlakanipha nowokuqonda,
umoya wamasu nowamandla,
umoya wokwazi nowokumesaba uJehova.
Intokozo yakhe iyakuba sekumesabeni uJehova;
akayikwahlulela ngokubona kwamehlo akhe,
anganqumi ngokuzwa kwezindlebe zakhe.
Kepha uyakwahlulela abampofu ngokulunga,
anqume ngokufaneleyo abathobileyo bomhlaba,
awushaye umhlaba ngentonga yomlomo wakhe,
abulale ababi ngokuphefumula kwezindebe zakhe.
Ukulunga kuyakuba yibhande* lezinkalo zakhe,
ukuthembeka kube yibhande lamanyonga akhe.
Impisi iyakuhlala newundlu,
ingwe ibuthise ndawonye nezinyane lembuzi,
ithole nebhongo lengonyama kukhuluphaliswe kanyekanye,
nomntwana omncane uyakukuqhuba.
Inkomo nebhere* kuyakuklaba,
amazinyane akho abuthise ndawonye,
ingonyama idle utshani njengenkabi.
Umntwana oncelayo uyakudlala ngasemgodini webululu,
olunyuliweyo elulele isandla sakhe
esiseleni sikamantshingeyana.
Abayikwenza okubi,
bangachithi entabeni yonke yami engcwele,
ngokuba umhlaba uyakugcwala ukumazi uJehova
njengamanzi asibekela ulwandle.
Kuyakuthi ngalolo suku impande kaJese ime iyibhanela* lezizwe; abezizwe bayakuyifuna, nendawo yayo iyakuba nodumo.
Kuyakuthi ngalolo suku iNkosi ibuye yelule isandla sayo ngokwesibili ukuzuza insali yabantu bayo eyakusala e-Asiriya, naseGibithe, nasePhatirosi, naseKushe, nase-Elamu, naseShineyari, naseHamati, naseziqhingini zolwandle.
Iyakuphakamisela abezizwe ibhandela,*
ibuthe abaxoshiweyo bakwa-Israyeli,
iqoqe abahlakazekileyo bakwaJuda emagumbini omane omhlaba.
Umhawu ka-Efrayimi uyakusuka,
nabacindezela uJuda bayakunqunywa;
u-Efrayimi akayikuba namhawu ngoJuda,
noJuda kayikucindezela u-Efrayimi.
Kepha bayakundizela ehlombe lamaFilisti ngasentshonalanga,
baphange kanyekanye abantu basempumalanga,
belulele izandla zabo ngaku-Edomi noMowabi,
abakwa-Amoni babalalele.
UJehova uyakuqalekisa itheku lolwandle lwaseGibithe,
anikine isandla sakhe phezu koMfula*
ngokuhwamula komoya wakhe,
awushaye ube yiminonjana eyisikhombisa,
ukuze kuhanjwe ngezicathulo.
Kuyakuba khona umgwaqo wensali yabantu bakhe,
eyakusala e-Asiriya,
njengalokho kwakunjalo ku-Israyeli
ngosuku lokukhuphuka kwakhe ezweni laseGibithe.
