4 Luyeza usuku lokutshabalalisa wonke amaFilisti,+

Kuzabulawa bonke abaseleyo ababesiza iThire+ leSidoni.+

Phela uJehova uzawaqeda amaFilisti,

Lawo aseleyo asuka esihlengeni seKhafithori.*+

 4 Kanti lingibangisani

Wena Thire leSidoni lezabelo zonke zamaFilisti?

Nxa kuyikuthi liyaphindisela,

Masinyane nje, ngizaphanga ngibuyisele ukuphindisela kwenu phezu kwamakhanda enu.+

 9 Nanku okutshiwo nguJehova,

‘Ngenxa yamacala amathathu eThire+ loba amane, angisoze ngibuyele emuva,

Ngoba bathatha lonke iqembu labathunjiweyo balisa ko-Edomi,

Kabazange basikhumbule isivumelwano sobuzalwane.+

10 Ngakho ngizathumela umlilo emdulini weThire,

Uzatshisa ulobise izinqaba zayo eziqinileyo.’+

 3 IThire yazakhela umduli wokuzivikela,*

Yabuthelela isiliva saba sinengi angathi luthuli,

Legolide kwangathi yinhlabathi esendleleni.+

 4 UJehova uzayithathela impahla yayo,

Abhubhise ibutho layo elwandle.+
