40 Ngiphakamisela isandla sami ezulwini,
ngithi: Mina ngiyakuphila
kuze kube phakade.
41 Uma ngilola inkemba yami ebengezelayo,
isandla sami sibambelele ekwehluleleni,
ngiyophenduka ngiphindisele kwabamelene nami,
ngiphindisele kwabangizondayo.’ ”

ngegazi lababuleweyo nabathunjiweyo,
kuqala enhlokweni yabaholi bezitha.
43 Memezani ngokuthokoza bantu bakhe,

ngokuba uyakuliphindiselela
igazi lezinceku zakhe,
aziphindiselele kwabamelene naye,
