1Ngajabula lapho bethi kimi: “Masiye endlini kaJehova.”
2Izinyawo zethu sezimi emasangweni akho, Jerusalema,
3Jerusalema, wena owakhiwe njengomuzi ohlanganisiwe ngokuqinileyo,
4lapho imindeni ikhuphukela khona, imindeni kaJehova, ngokomthetho ka-Israyeli ukuba idumise igama likaJehova.
5Ngokuba kumisiwe khona izihlalo zokwahlulela, izihlalo zobukhosi zendlu kaDavide.
6Khulekelani ukuthula kwaseJerusalema: “Abakuthandayo bayakuphumelela kahle.
7Makube khona ukuthula phakathi kwezingange zakho, nenhlanhla ezindlini zakho zobukhosi.”
8Ngenxa yabafowethu nabangane bethu ngizakuthi manje: “Makube khona ukuthula kuwe.”
9Ngenxa yendlu kaJehova uNkulunkulu wethu ngiyakukufunela okuhle.
