1  Isimemezelo uHabakuki* umprofethi asibona embonweni:   O Jehova, kuyoze kube nini ngikhala ngicela usizo kodwa ungezwa? + Kuyoze kube nini ngicela ukusindiswa ebudloveni, kodwa ungangisizi? *+   Kungani ungenza ngibone izenzo ezimbi? Kungani ubekezelela ukucindezela? Kungani phambi kwami kukhona ukucekela phansi nobudlova? Kungani kugcwele izingxabano nombango?   Ngakho umthetho awusasebenzi,Nobulungisa abusenziwa nhlobo. Ngoba omubi ucindezela olungile;Yingakho ubulungisa buhlanekezelwe. +   “Bhekani phakathi kwezizwe, ninake! Bukani nimangele futhi nishaqeke;Ngoba kukhona okuzokwenzeka ezinsukwini zenuEningeke nikukholwe ngisho noma nixoxelwa ngakho. +   Ngoba ngivusa amaKhaledi, +Isizwe esinonya nesinamawala. Esikhukhula ezindaweni ezivulekile zomhlabaUkuze sithathe imizi okungeyona eyaso. +   Siyethusa futhi siyesabeka. Sizimisela owaso umthetho negunya. *+   Amahhashi aso anejubane ngaphezu kwezingwe,Anolaka ngaphezu kwezimpisi ebusuku. + Amahhashi aso ayagabavula;Amahhashi aso avela kude. Eza egijima njengokhozi luphuthuma ukuyodla. +   Siza nalo lonke ibutho laso ngenjongo yobudlova. + Ukuhlangana kobuso baso kunjengomoya wasempumalanga, +Sibutha izithunjwa njengesihlabathi. 10  Siklolodela amakhosiSihleka izikhulu eziphakeme. + Sihleka ngisho nazo zonke izindawo ezinezivikelo eziqinile; +Sinqwabelanisa indunduma yenhlabathi ukuze sigibele odongeni. 11  Siya phambili njengomoya, sidlule,Kodwa siyoba necala, +Ngoba sithi amandla aso siwathola kunkulunkulu waso.” *+ 12  Awuyena yini owaphakade Jehova? + O Nkulunkulu wami, oNgcwele wami, wena awufi. *+ O Jehova, usimisele ukuba sikhiphe isahlulelo sakho;Dwala lami, + usimisele ukujezisa* ngaso. + 13  Amehlo akho ahlanzeke kakhulu ukuba angabheka okubi,Awukwazi ukubekezelela ububi. + Pho kungani ubekezelela abakhohlisayo +Kungani uthula lapho umuntu omubi egwinya umuntu olunge ngaphezu kwakhe? + 14  Kungani wenza abantu babe njengezinhlanzi zasolwandle,Njengezilwane zasolwandle ezingenambusi? 15  Zonke uzikhipha* ngodobo. Uzibamba ngenethi lakhe,Uziqoqela enethini lakhe lokudoba. Yingakho ejabule kangaka. + 16  Yingakho enikelela inethi lakhe imihlatsheloEnzela* inethi lakhe lokudoba imihlatshelo;Ngoba ngenxa yamanethi isabelo sakhe sicebile,*Nokudla kwakhe okwekhethelo. 17  Ingabe uyoqhubeka ethulula inethi lakhe?* Ingabe uyolokhu ebulala izizwe engabonisi bubele? +
