17. ISiyoni liyelula izandla zalo,akakho oliduduzayo.UJehova uyalile ngoJakobe ukuba abamzungezayo babe yizitha zakhe.IJerusalema linjengesinengiso phakathi kwabo.
18. “UJehova ulungile,ngokuba ngihlubukile izwi lakhe.Ake nizwe, bantu bonke,nibone ubuhlungu bami.Izintombi zami nezinsizwa zami ziye ekuthunjweni.

20. “Bheka, Jehova, ngokuba nginosizi;izibilini zami ziyaxhaphazela.Inhliziyo yami iphendukile phakathi kwami,ngokuba ngihlubukile nokuhlubuka.Endle yinkemba eyaphucayo,ekhaya ngukufa.

22. “Mabufike bonke ububi bazo ebusweni bakho,wenze kuzo njengokwenza kwakho kimingenxa yazo zonke iziphambeko zami,ngokuba ukububula kwami kukhulu,nenhliziyo idangele.”
