2 Lalamuhlaa isikhalazo sami silokubabab; isandla sami sinzima phezu kokububula kwami. 3 Kungathi ngabe ngiyazi lapho engingamthola khonac! Bengingeza enkundleni yakhed! 4 Ngibeke kuhle udaba lwami phambi kwakhee, ngigcwalise umlomo wami ngokuphikisaf. 5 Bengingawazi amazwi azangiphendula ngawo, ngiqedisise azakutsho kimi. 6 Uzaphikisana lami ngobukhulu bamandla yini? Hatshi, kodwa uzabeka inhliziyo yakhe kimig. 7 Lapho oqotho angaphikisana laye; ngakho bengizaphepha phakade kumahluleli wami. 8 Khangelanih ngiya phambili, kodwa kakhoi, lemuvaj, kodwa kangimbonik. 9 Ngakwesokhohlo ekusebenzeni kwakhe, kodwa kangimbonil; uyacatsha ngakwesokunenem, kodwa kangimbonin. 10 Kanti uyayazi indlela elamio; kangihlole, ngizaphuma njengegolidep. 11 Unyawo lwami lubambelele enyathelweni lakheq, ngiyigcinile indlela yakhe, kangiphambukangar. 12 Kangisukanga lemlayweni wezindebe zakhe, ngawalondoloza amazwi omlomo wakhe okwedlula isabelo sami. 13 Kodwa yena ukokukodwa, ngubani-ke ongambuyisela emuvas? Lokho umphefumulo wakhe okufisayo uyakwenzat. 14 Ngoba uzaphelelisa engikumiselweyo; lezinto ezinengi ezinjalo zikuyeu. 15 Ngenxa yalokho ngitshaywa luvalo phambi kwakhe; ngicabanga, ngiyamesabav. 16 Ngoba uNkulunkulu wenze inhliziyo yami yaphela amandla, loSomandla ungethusilew. 17 Ngoba kangiqunywanga phambi komnyamax, wagubuzela ubumnyamay ebusweni bamiz.
