UDavide wacasha masinyane endle ; isethwasile inyanga , inkosi yahlala ekudleni ukuba idle.

Kepha uma leyo nceku ithi enhliziyweni yayo : Inkosi yami ilibele ukufika , iqale ukushaya abafana namantombazana, idle, iphuze, idakwe,

iqale ukushaya izinceku ezikanye nayo, idle, iphuze nezidakwa,

Khumbula o-Abrahama, no-Isaka, no-Israyeli, izinceku zakho, owazifungela kubo, wathi kubo: Ngiyakwandisa inzalo yenu ibe ngangezinkanyezi zezulu, nginike inzalo yenu lonke leli zwe engikhulumile ngalo , idle ifa lalo kuze kube phakade.

Inkomo nebhere kuyakuklaba , amazinyane akho abuthise ndawonye , ingonyama idle utshani njengenkabi.

Impisi iyakudla ndawonye newundlu , ingonyama idle utshani njengenkomo, uthuli lube ngukudla kwenyoka ; aziyikulimaza, zingachithi kuyo yonke intaba yami engcwele, usho uJehova.

bese kuthi ngobuningi bobisi ezilwehlisayo idle amangqanga , ngokuba amangqanga nezinyosi bayakukudla bonke abasele ezweni.

Ngiyakudakisa imicibisholo yami ngegazi , inkemba yami idle inyama, ngegazi lababuleweyo nelabathunjwa , kuqala kuwo amakhanda abaholi bezitha.

Bheka, ngimelene nawe , usho uJehova Sebawoti ; ngiyakushisa izinqola zakho emsini , inkemba idle amabhongo akho ezingonyama ; ngiyakunquma impango yakho emhlabeni, nezwi lezithunywa zakho alisayikuzwakala.

Ngokuba kuyakuba khona imbewu yokuthula ; umvini uyakuthela izithelo zawo, umhlabathi uveze ukudla kwawo, amazulu anike amazolo awo, ngenze ukuba insali yalaba bantu idle ifa lazo zonke lezi zinto.
