16 UDavida wathi ephakamisa amehlo wabona ingilosi kaJehova imi phakathi komhlaba lamazulu, ithwele inkemba,+ yelulele isandla sayo eJerusalema. UDavida labadala bazilahla phansi bathi mbo ngobuso emhlabathini+ begqoke izembatho zamasaka.+ 17 UDavida wasesithi kuNkulunkulu weqiniso: “Awu Jehova Nkulunkulu wami, ayisimi yini engithe abantu babalwe? Mina yimi engonileyo futhi yimi engenze icala.+ Pho izimvu lezi zona zoneni? Ngicela isandla sakho sehlele phezu kwami labendlu kababa, kodwa ungehliseli umkhuhlane lo ebantwini bakho.”+
