Bonke a bantu bafika ukuba bamdlise uDavide isinkwa kusesemini ; kepha uDavide wafunga wathi : Makenze njalo kimi uNkulunkulu , enezele futhi , uma ngidla isinkwa noma okunye lingakashoni ilanga.

Abantu bom uzi bathi kuye ngosuku lwesikhombisa , lingakashoni ilanga : Kuyini okumnandi kunezinyosi ? Kuyini okunamandla kunengonyama na ? Wathi kubo: Uma beningalimanga ngesithokazi sami , ngabe ningayiqandelanga imfumbe yami.

Uma uthatha ingubo yomakhelwane wakho , ibe yisibambiso , uyakuyibuyisela kuye lingakashoni ilanga;

uyakuyinika inkokhelo yayo ngosuku lwayo , ilanga lingakashoni phezu kwayo, ngokuba impofu , ibeka inhliziyo yayo kuyo , funa ikhale ngawe kuJehova, kube yisono kuwe.
