AmaHubo 10:1-18

Jehova, umeleni kude na? Uzifihlelani ubuso ezikhathini zokuhlupheka na? Ngokuqhosha komubi ompofu uyahlupheka; mababanjwe ngamacebo abawacebileyo. Ngokuba omubi uyazigabisa ngokufisa komphefumulo wakhe, nohulazayo uyamvalelisa, amdelele uJehova. Omubi ngokuzikhukhumeza kobuso bakhe uthi: “Akanaki lutho; akakho uNkulunkulu,” injalo imicabango yakhe yonke. Izindlela zakhe zithembekile izikhathi zonke; izahlulelo zakho ziphakeme kakhulu kunokubona kwakhe; zonke izitha zakhe uyazidelela. Uthi enhliziyweni yakhe: “Angiyikuzanyazanyiswa; izizukulwane nezizukulwane angisoze ngehlelwa ngozi.” Umlomo wakhe ugcwele isiqalekiso nenkohliso nobudlova; ngaphansi kolimi lwakhe kukhona ukwelelesa nokonakala. Uhlezi ezindaweni zokuqamekela zemizi; ezindaweni ezisithekileyo uyambulala ongenacala; amehlo akhe ayamhlwaya othithibeleyo. Endaweni esithekileyo uqamekela njengengonyama emphandwini wayo; uhlomele ukumbamba ohluphekileyo; uyambamba ohluphekileyo ngokumngenisa esihibeni sakhe. Uyanyonyoba, uyakhothama, abathithibeleyo bawe ngamazipho akhe. Uthi enhliziyweni yakhe: “UNkulunkulu ukhohliwe, ubusithezile ubuso bakhe; akasoze wakubona nanini.” Vuka, Jehova! Nkulunkulu, phakamisa isandla sakho, ungakhohlwa abahluphekileyo. Kungani ukuba omubi adelele uNkulunkulu, athi enhliziyweni yakhe: “Awuyikukunaka,” na? Ubonile wena; ngokuba ukukhathazeka nokuhlupheka uyakubona wena ukuze ukubeke esandleni sakho; othithibeleyo uyazinikela kuwe; wena ungumsizi wentandane. Yaphula ingalo yomubi; buphenyisise ububi besoni, ukuze ungabe usabufumana. UJehova uyinkosi kuze kube phakade naphakade; abezizwe bayachithwa emhlabeni wakhe. Jehova, uyakuzwa ukulangazela kwabamnene; uyaqinisa inhliziyo yabo, indlebe yakho uyibeka kubo ukuba wahlulele intandane nocindezelweyo, ukuze umuntu wasemhlabeni angabe esabanga uvalo.
