12 Ke uThixo nguKumkani wam kwakumandulo, Ulosebenza usindiso phakathi kwehlabathi lonke.

14 Nguwe owaxhaxha iintloko zeleviyatan, Wazinika zakukudla kubantu, kubemi bomqwebedu.
15 Nguwe owagqobhoza yayimithombo, yayimilanjana; Nguwe owomisa imilambo engomiyo.
16 Yeyakho imini, bobakho nobusuku; Nguwe owalungisa ukukhanya nelanga.
17 Nguwe owamisa yonke imida yehlabathi; Ihlobo, nobusika, nguwe owazibumbayo ezo zinto.

23 Musa ukulilibala izwi lababandezeli bakho, Ukungxola kwabasukela phezulu kuwe, okuhlala kunyuka.
