108Inhliziyo yami iqinile, Nkulunkulu. Ngizahlabelela ngitshotshe, ngitsho udumo lwamia!

2 Vukani gubhu lwezintambo lechacho! Ngizavusa ukusa. 3 Ngizakudumisa, Nkosi, phakathi kwabantu, ngihlabele indumiso kuwe phakathi kwezizwe. 4 Ngoba umusa wakho mkhulu phezu kwamazulub, leqiniso lakho lifika emayezinic. 5 Phakama, Nkulunkulu, ngaphezu kwamazulu, lobukhosi bakho phezu komhlaba wonked. 6 Ukuze abathandekayo bakho bakhululwe; sindisa ngesandla sakho sokunene, ungiphendulee.

7 UNkulunkulu ukhulumile ebungcweleni bakhe. Ngizathaba, ngiyabe iShekema, ngilinganise isihotsha seSukothi. 8 Ngeyami iGileyadi, ngowami uManase, loEfrayimi ungamandla ekhanda lami, uJuda ungumnikumthetho wami. 9 UMowabi ungumganu wami wokugezela; phezu kukaEdoma ngizaphosela inyathela lami; phezu kweFilistif ngizamemeza ngokunqoba.
