UDavide wayesethi kuso isithunywa : Uyakusho kanje kuJowabe , uthi: Le nto mayingabi mbi emehlweni akho , ngokuba inkemba idla omunye njengomunye; qinisa impi yakho ngasemzini, uwuchithe; bese wumqunga isibindi.

Inhliziyo yakho mayingabi namhawu ngezoni , kepha mawube sekumesabeni uJehova usuku lonke.

Ngalokho, Nkulunkulu wethu , Nkulunkulu omkhulu onamandla owesabekayo, ogcina isivumelwano nomusa , yonke le nkathazo mayingabi ncane ebusweni bakho esificile thina , namakhosi ethu , nezikhulu zethu , nabapristi bethu, nabaprofethi bethu, nawobaba, nabo bonke abantu bakho , kusukela esikhathini samakhosi ase-Asiriya kuze kube namuhla.
