Emagagasi akho latigcabhako atawugcina lapha’?+
12 Uke* wakutfuma yini kusa

Futsi konkhe kugcama njengemhlobiso wesembatfo.
15 Kodvwa lababi abakutfoli kukhanya kwabo,
Tento tabo letimbi tiyaphela.*
16 Uke wehlela yini etiyalwini telwandle
Nobe wahambahamba ekujuleni kwalo?+
18 Sewuyabucondza yini bukhulu bemhlaba?+
Ngitjele nangabe ukwati konkhe loku.

21 Loku ukwati ngobe besewuvele utelwe yini
Nangekutsi iminyaka yakho minyenti?*
22 Uke wangena yini lakugcinwa khona lichwa,+
Nobe uke watibona yini tincolobane tesangcotfo,+
23 Lengikubekele sikhatsi sekuhlupheka,
Lokulilanga lekulwa kanye nemphi?+
25 Ngubani lombe imisele yetikhukhula
Futsi wenta nendlela yelifu lelinesivunguvungu,+
26 Lowenta kutsi line lapho kungahlali muntfu khona,
Nasehlane lapho kute khona bantfu,+

Ente nekutsi kumile tjani kuto?+
29 Ngubani make welichwa,
Futsi ngubani lowatala sitfwatfwa sasezulwini+
30 Ngesikhatsi emanti oma njengelitje,
Nangesikhatsi emanti lasekujuleni sekacine njengelidvwala?+
31 Ungasibopha yini ngentsambo sicumbi setinkhanyenti iKhimahi*
32 Ungasicondzisa yini sicumbi setinkhanyeti* ngesikhatsi saso
Nobe ucondzise sicumbi setinkhanyeti lokutsiwa nguMlotsa* sikanye nemadvodzana aso?
33 Uyayati yini imitsetfo leyengamele emazulu,+
Nobe ungalenta yini ligunya layo* kutsi lisebente emhlabeni?
34 Ungawamemeta yini emafu,
Kuze imvula lenkhulu ikunetse?+
35 Ungayitfumela yini imibane?
Yona ingeta yini kuwe, itsi: ‘Sesikhona!’
37 Ngubani lohlakaniphe kangangekutsi angabala emafu,
Nobe ngubani longagoboncisa timbita temanti tasezulwini+
38 Ngesikhatsi lutfuli luba sigadla
Futsi emagadze emhlabatsi anamatselana?
39 Ungalitingelela yini libhubesi inyamatane
Nobe ungakwesutsisa yini kulamba kwemabhubesi lasemancane+
40 Nakaguca angena emihumeni yawo
Nobe abhaca etindzaweni tawo tekuhlala?
41 Ngubani lolungisela emahhwabayi+ kudla
Ngesikhatsi emazini awo akhalela lusito kuNkulunkulu
Futsi azulazula ngobe kute langakudla?
