2Kuba uyazincoma emehlweni akhe kangangokuba akakwazi ukusibona isono sakhe nokusithiya. 3Amazwi omlomo wakhe bubungendawo nenkohliso; uyekile ukwenza ngobulumko nokwenza okulungileyo. 4Kwanasebhedini yakhe uceba ububi; uzimisela endleleni engalunganga; akakugatyi okubi.
5Bawo wethu, inceba yakho ifikelela emazulwini, ukuthembeka kwakho kufikelela emafini. 6Ubulungisa bakho bunjengeentaba ezinkulu, izigwebo zakho zinjengenzonzobila enkulu; uyabasindisa bobabini abantu nezilwanyana, Bawo wethu. 7Hayi ukuxabiseka kwenceba yakho, Bawo wethu! Bonke abantu bazimela emthunzini wamaphiko akho. 8Batya basuthe kwinala yendlu yakho, ubaseze emlanjeni weziyolo zakho. 9Kuba kuwe ukho umthombo wobomi; ekukhanyeni kwakho sibona ukukhanya.
