1Isihlabo awasibonayo uHabhakuki umprofeti.2Kunini na, Yehova, ndizibika, ungeva; ndikhala kuwe ndisithi, Ugonyamelo, ungasindisi?3Yini na ukuba undikhangelise ubutshinga, ukondele okubi? Yimbuqo nogonyamelo phambi kwam; kukho ubambano, kuphakame ingxabano.4Ngenxa yoko uyekelelwe umyalelo, ukuze kungaveli naphakade okusesikweni; kuba abangendawo bayawarhawula amalungisa; ngenxa yoko okusesikweni kuphuma kujikekile.5Khangelani phakathi kweentlanga, nondele, ningakhulumi nokukhuluma; ngokuba ndiya kusebenza umsebenzi ngemihla yenu, eningayi kukholwa nguwo, nokuba niyawubaliselwa.6Kuba, yabonani, ndixhoxha amaKaledi, uhlanga olulugcalagcala, oluyintshakavula; oluhamba nobubanzi behlabathi, ukuze luhluthe amakhaya angewalo.7Luyadengisa, luyoyikeka; kuphuma kwakulo okusesikweni kwalo, nokuphakama kwalo.8Anamendu ngaphezu kwezingwe amahashe alo, aqubula ngaphezu kweengcuka zangokuhlwa. Bayaphalisa abamahashe balo; abamahashe balo beza bevela kude, bee tshwebelele njengexhalanga elikhawulezayo ukuza kudla.9Bonke bephela beza ngokugonyamela; ubuso babo buzamela phambili; bahlanganisa abathinjwa njengentlabathi.10Bona bacukuceza ookumkani, nezidwangube ziyintlekisa kubo; bona bayazihleka iinqaba zonke; bafumba uthuli, bazithi hlasi.11Baya kwandula bakhukule ngokomoya, badlule, bazeke ityala; la mandla abe nguthixo wabo.12Wena akunguye na owasusela kwakumandulo, Yehova, Thixo wam, ungoyiNgcwele wam? Asiyi kufa. Yehova, ubamisele ukuba bagwebe; Liwa, ubaseke ukuba bohlwaye.13Wena ungomehlo ahlambulukileyo, ukuba angayikhangeli into embi, ukuba ungabi nakukondela okubi; ubondele ngani na ke abanginizi, ukuba uthi cwaka njeongendawo emginya olilungisa kunaye?14Ulwenze ke uluntu lwanjengeentlanzi zaselwandle, njengezinambuzane ezingenamlawuli.15Bonke bephela babanyusa ngeqherhu labo; babaqweqwedisa ngomnatha wabo, babahlanganise ngomnathakazi wabo; ngenxa yoko bayavuya, bagcobe.16Ngenxa yoko babingelela kumnatha wabo, baqhumisele kumnathakazi wabo; kuba sityebe ngezo zinto isahlulo sabo, nokudla kwabo kwaba ngamanqatha ngazo.17Baya kuwukhuphela na ngenxa yoko umnatha wabo, bahlale bebulala iintlanga, bangacongi na?
