9 Mhlabeleleni, hlabelani nimdvumise,+
Cabangisisani* ngato tonkhe tintfo letimangalisako latentile.+
10 Tigcabheni ngelibito lakhe lelingcwele.+
Tinhlitiyo talabo labafuna Jehova atijabule.+
11 Funani Jehova+ futsi nimcele kutsi aninike emandla.
Mfuneni ngaso sonkhe sikhatsi.+
12 Khumbulani imisebenti yakhe lemangalisako layentile,+
Nikhumbule netimangaliso latenta kanye netehlulelo latikhiphile,
13 Nine ntalelwane* ya-Israyeli inceku yakhe,+
Nine madvodzana aJakobe, leningulabakhetsiwe bakhe.+
14 Yena unguJehova Nkulunkulu wetfu.+
Tehlulelo takhe tisemhlabeni wonkhe.+
15 Nibohlale nisikhumbula sivumelwane lasenta,
Setsembiso lasenta* etitukulwaneni letiyinkhulungwane,+
16 Lokusivumelwane lasenta na-Abrahama,+
Kanye nesifungo lasenta ku-Isaka,+
17 Leso lasisungula saba ngumtsetfo kuJakobe+
Saphindze saba sivumelwane lesihlala njalo ku-Israyeli,
18 Watsi, ‘Ngitakunika live laseKhenani+
Libe lifa lakho.’+
19 Loku kwenteka ngesikhatsi nisembalwa,
Benimbalwa kakhulu, futsi benitihambi kulelive.+
20 Bebahambahamba besuka kulesinye sive baya kulesinye,
Besuka kulomunye umbuso baya kulabanye bantfu.+
21 Akazange avumele muntfu kutsi abacindzetele,+
Kodvwa abejezisa emakhosi ngenca yabo,+
22 Watsi: ‘Ningabatsintsi labagcotjiwe bami,
Futsi ningenti lutfo lolubi kubaphrofethi bami.’+
23 Hlabelelani Jehova nonkhe nine lenisemhlabeni!
Memetelani insindziso yakhe lilanga nelilanga!+
24 Memetelani inkhatimulo yakhe etiveni,
Memetelani imisebenti yakhe lemangalisako kubo bonkhe bantfu.
25 Ngobe Jehova mkhulu futsi kumfanela mbamba kudvunyiswa.
Nguye lokufanele esatjwe kwendlula bonkhe labanye bonkulunkulu.+
26 Bonkhe bonkulunkulu betive babonkulunkulu labangenamsebenti,+
Kodvwa Jehova nguye lowadala emazulu.+
28 Nikani Jehova ludvumo nine mindeni yebantfu,
Nikani Jehova ludvumo ngenca yenkhatimulo yakhe nemandla akhe.+
Khotsamani* embikwaJehova nigcoke tembatfo letingcwele.*+
30 Chachatelani embikwakhe, mhlaba wonkhe!
Umhlaba ume wacina, angeke utanyatanyiswe.+
31 Shengatsi emazulu angatfokota, nemhlaba ujabule;+
Memetelani etiveni nitsi: ‘Jehova sewuyiNkhosi!’+
32 Shengatsi lwandle nako konkhe lokukulo kungamdvumisa;
Shengatsi emasimu angatfokota kanye nako konkhe lokukuwo.
33 Ngesikhatsi lesifanako, tihlahla temahlatsi atimemete ngenjabulo embikwaJehova,
Ngobe uyeta* utokwehlulela umhlaba.
35 Niphindze nitsi: ‘Sisindzise, awu Nkulunkulu wensindziso yetfu,+
Sihlanganise futsi usisindzise etiveni,
Kuze sibonge libito lakho lelingcwele+
Futsi sitfokote nasikudvumisa.+
Bonkhe labantfu babese batsi: “Amen!”* futsi badvumisa Jehova.
37 Ngemuva kwaloko Davide washiya Asafa+ kanye nabomnakabo khona lapho embikwelibhokisi lesivumelwane saJehova kuze bachubeke basebenta embikwaleLibhokisi+ kuye ngenchubo yamalanga onkhe.+ 38 Bo-Obedi-edomu nabomnakabo labangu-68 na-Obedi-edomu loyindvodzana yaJeduthuni kanye naHosa bebabogadzi; 39 boSadoki+ umphristi nebaphristi labekanye nabo bebasembikwelithende laJehova lekukhontela endzaweni lephakeme eGibeyoni+ 40 kuze bente iminikelo yekushiswa kuJehova njalo e-al’thare lemnikelo wekushiswa, ekuseni nantsambama, baphindze bente konkhe lokubhalwe eMtsetfweni waJehova lawunika ema-Israyeli.+ 41 BebanaHemani naJeduthuni+ kanye nalalamanye emadvodza lebekakhetsiwe labebitwe ngemabito awo kuze babonge Jehova,+ ngobe “lutsandvo lwakhe lolucotfo luhlala kuze kube phakadze”;+ 42 futsi bebakanye naHemani+ naJeduthuni lebekufanele bashaye emacilongo, emasimbali netinsimbi temculo lebetisetjentiselwa kudvumisa* Nkulunkulu weliciniso; emadvodzana aJeduthuni+ bekasesangweni. 43 Bonkhe labantfu babese bayahamba baya emakhaya abo futsi Davide wahamba wayobusisa umndeni wakhe.
