1Zwana umkhuleko wami, Oh Thixo*;
2Ungangifihleli ubuso bakho
3Ngoba insuku zami ziyanyamalala njengentuthu;
4Inhliziyo yami yonakele, ibunile njengotshani;
5Ngenxa yokububula kwami okukhulu sengiphelile,
6Sengifana lesikhova senkangala,
7Ngilala ngikhangele;
8Ilanga lonke izitha zami ziyangichukuluza;
9Ngoba ngidla umlotha njengokudla kwami,
10ngenxa yokuthukuthela kwakho okukhulu,
11Insuku zami zifana lesithunzi sakusihlwa;
12Kodwa wena, Oh Thixo*, uhlezi ebukhosini lanininini;
13Uzaphakama uzwele iZiyoni isihawu,
14Ngoba amatshe ayo aligugu ezincekwini zakho;
15Izizwe zizalesaba ibizo likaThixo*,
16Ngoba uThixo* uzayakha kutsha iZiyoni
17Uzaphendula imikhuleko yabahluphekayo;
18Lokhu kakulotshwe phansi kube ngokwesizukulwane sakusasa,
19“UThixo* wakhangela phansi ephezulu endlini yakhe engcwele,
20ukuze ezwe ukububula kwezibotshwa
21Ngalokho-ke ibizo likaThixo* lizamenyezelwa eZiyoni
22lapha izizwe lemibuso
23Wawanciphisa amandla ami ngisaphila;
24Yikho ngasengisithi,
25Ekuqaleni wabeka izisekelo zomhlaba,
26Konke kuzabhubha, kodwa wena uzasala;
27Kodwa wena uhlala unjalo,
