6 UDavida watshela amadoda ayelawo wathi: “Angisoze ngenze into enjalo enkosini yami ngoba ingogcotshiweyo kaJehova. UJehova ngeke athokoze ngitsho nxa ngingahlasela ogcotshiweyo kaJehova.”+ 7 Ngakho uDavida wawakhuza amadoda ayelawo ngamazwi la futhi kazange awavumele ukuthi ahlasele uSawuli. USawuli waphuma ebhalwini wahamba.

9 Kodwa uDavida wathi ku-Abhishayi: “Ungamenzi lutho. Kambe ngubani ongaphakamisa isandla sakhe ahlasele ogcotshiweyo kaJehova+ asale engelacala?”+

11 Angisoze ngiphakamise isandla sami ngihlasele ogcotshiweyo kaJehova+ ngoba lokho ngeke kumthokozise uJehova. Asithathe umkhonto lo oseceleni kwekhanda lakhe lesigubhu samanzi sihambe.”

3 Awu Jehova, kungani izitha zami sezizinengi kangaka?+

Kungani bebanengi kangaka abangihlamukelayo?+

 2 Abanengi bathi:

“UNkulunkulu kasoze amsindise.”+ (Selah)*

7 Awu Jehova Nkulunkulu wami, ngiphephela kuwe.+

Mxotshaniseni limbambe ngoba akulamuntu ongamsiza.”+
