UJonathani wakhuluma okuhle ngoDavide kuSawule uyise , wathi kuye : Inkosi mayingayoni inceku yayo uDavide, ngokuba akakonanga, nemisebenzi yakhe kuwe ilungile kakhulu;

Leyo nto yabe ilungile emehlweni enkosi nasebandleni lonke.

Ngalokho ngiyavuma ukuthi imiyal o yakho yonke ilungile ; ngiyazonda zonke izindlela zamanga.

Ulimi lwami malukhulume izwi lakho , ngokuba imiyalo yakho yonke ilungile.

Imiyalo kaJehova ilungile , ijabulisa inhliziyo ; umyalezo kaJehova uhlanzekile, ukhanyisa amehlo.

Ukumesaba uJehova kuhlanzekile , kumi kuze kube phakade ; imithetho kaJehova iyiqiniso, ilungile yonke.

Ababi bahosha inkemba , bansale umnsalo wab o ukuba bamwise phansi ohluphekileyo nompofu, babulale abandlela ilungile.

Indlela yesiwula ilungile emehlweni aso , kepha ohlakaniphileyo ulalela iziluleko.

Kukhona indlela ebonakala sengathi ilungile kumuntu , kepha ukuphela kwayo kuyindlela yokufa.

Wathi: Uma kukuhle enkosini , noma ngifumene umusa phambi kwayo , noma le nto ilungile phambi kwenkosi , uma ngithandeka emehlweni ayo , makulotshwe ukuba zibuyiswe izincwadi zamacebo kaHamani indodana kaHamedatha umAgagi azilobayo ukuba bachithwe abaJuda abasezifundeni zenkosi;

Ake niphenduke , kungabikho ukungalungi , nibuye niphenduke; indaba yami ilungile.

Thokoza kakhulu , ndodakazi yaseSiyoni ; jabula nokujabula , ndodakazi yaseJerusalema; bheka, iNkosi yakho iza kuwe , ilungile, inensindiso, ithobekile, ikhwele imbongolo, ithole, inkonyane yembongolokazi.
