2 Ngoba isibili ^a lingabantu ^b, lenhlakanipho izakufa lani. 3 Lami ngilengqondo njengani, kangiphansi kulani. Njalo ngubani ongelazo izinto ezinje? 4 Ngiyinhlekisa kumngane wami ^c, obiza kuNkulunkulu amphendule; olungileyo oqondileyo uyinhlekisa ^d. 5 Uyisibane esidelelekayo emnakanweni wowonwabileyo ^e; ulungele ukutshelela ngonyawo ^f. 6 Amathente abaphangi alokuthula, labamthukuthelisayo uNkulunkulu bavikelekile, kulowo oletha uNkulunkulu esandleni sakhe ^g.
