20 Liwayini lenta umuntfu abe sedzeleli,+ futsi tjwala benta umuntfu angalawuleki;+
Umuntfu loduka endleleni lelungile ngenca yako ulibele.+
2 Kwesabeka kwenkhosi kufana nekubhodla kwelibhubesi;+
Umuntfu loyitfukutselisako ubeka kuphila kwakhe engotini.+
4 Livila alilimi nakumakhata,
Kodvwa kutawutsi nasekuvunwa lihambe licela ngobe litawube lingenalutfo.*+
5 Loko* lokusenhlitiyweni yemuntfu kufana nemanti lasendzaweni leshonako,
Kodvwa umuntfu lonekucondza uyakhona kukukhiphela ebaleni.
6 Bantfu labanyenti batsi banelutsandvo lolucotfo,
Kodvwa kumatima kutfola umuntfu lonalo mbamba.
7 Lolungile uphila imphilo lecotfo.+
Bayajabula bantfwana* labatalwa nguye.+
8 Inkhosi nayihlala esihlalweni sayo sebukhosi kuze yehlulele,+
Ihlolisisa konkhe kuze isuse yonkhe intfo lembi.+
12 Tindlebe letivako nemehlo labonako
Kwadalwa nguJehova.+
13 Ungakutsandzi kulala ngobe utawuphuya.+
Vuka, khona utawuba nekudla lokunyenti.+
14 Umtsengi utsi: “Lentfo lembi kanje! Yimbi lentfo”;
Bese sewuyahamba futsi atishaye sifuba ngekutsi uyitsenge ngemali lencane.+
15 Umuntfu angaba neligolide nematje lamanyenti laligugu aselwandle,
Kodvwa uligugu kakhulu umlomo wemuntfu lonelwati.+
16 Ubositsatsa sembatfo semuntfu lowetsembise kubhadalela sihambi;+
Utsatse sibambiso kuye nangabe etsembise kubhadalela umfati wakulelinye live.*+
17 Umuntfu ukuva kumnandzi kudla lokutfolakele ngebucili,
Kodvwa ngemuva kwaloko umlomo wakhe utawugcwala umhlabatsi.+
18 Tinhloso titawuphumelela nangabe ubuta* kulabanye,+
Futsi nawuya emphini, udzinga sicondziso lesihlakaniphile.+
19 Umnyundzeli uhambe akhuluma ngetimfihlo talabanye bantfu.+
Ungatihlanganisi nemuntfu lotsandza kuhleba.
20 Nobe ngubani localekisa babe wakhe namake wakhe,
Sibane sakhe sitawucinywa nasekufike bumnyama.+
21 Ngisho nobe umuntfu loligovu anganjinga,
Kodvwa ekugcineni ngeke abusiswe.+
22 Ungabokusho utsi: “Ngitatiphindziselela ngalokubi!”+
Yetsembela kuJehova+ futsi yena utakusita.+
23 Tisindvo letingaketsembeki* tiyenyanyeka kuJehova,
Futsi tikali letikhohlisako atisikahle.
24 Tinyatselo temuntfu ticondziswa nguJehova;+
Ngako umuntfu angayati njani nje indlela lokufanele ahambe ngayo?
25 Umuntfu utibekela lugibe nangabe enta setsembiso kuNkulunkulu angakacabangi,+
Bese ngemuva kwesikhatsi kube ngukhani acabangisisa ngalesifungo lasentile.+
26 Inkhosi lehlakaniphile yehlukanisa lababi kulabalungile+
Futsi ibasuse kube shengatsi ibasusa ngelithulusi lekwela.+
27 Tintfo letishiwo* ngumuntfu tifana nesibane saJehova,
Sikubeka ebaleni loko lokusenhlitiyweni yemuntfu.
28 Lutsandvo lolucotfo kanye nekwetsembeka kuyayilondvolota inkhosi;+
Sihlalo sayo sebukhosi sitawusima nangabe inelutsandvo lolucotfo.+
