2UThixo* ulidwala lami, inqaba yami, lomsindisi wami;
3Ngakhuleka kuThixo* ofanele ukudunyiswa
4Izibopho zokufa zangihilela;
5Izibopho zengcwaba zangithandela;
6Ekukhathazekeni kwami ngakhuleka kuThixo*;
7Umhlaba wagedezela wazamazama,
8Intuthu yalanquka emakhaleni Akhe
9Waqhekeza amazulu wehlela phansi;
10Wagada amakherubhi waphapha;
11Wenza umnyama isembeso sakhe,
12Phakathi kokukhazimula kobukhona bakhe
13UThixo* wakhwaza esezulwini;
14Waciba imitshoko wazihlakaza izitha,
15Izigodi zolwandle zambulwa
16Welula isandla Sakhe esezulwini
17Wangihlenga esitheni sami esilamandla,
18Zangijamela mhla ngisebunzimeni,
19Wangikhupha wangibeka endaweni ebanzi
20UThixo* ungenzele okulingene ukulunga kwami;
21Ngoba ngizigcinile izindlela zikaThixo*;
22Yonke imithetho yakhe ibiphambi kwami;
23Ngibe ngilokhu ngimsulwa phambi kwakhe
24UThixo* unginike umvuzo ngokufanele ukulunga kwami,
25Kwabathembekileyo lawe uthembekile,
26Kwabahlanzekileyo uziveza uhlanzekile
27Uyabasindisa abathobekileyo;
28Wena, Oh Thixo*, gcina isibane sami sibhebha;
29Ngosizo lwakho ngingaphuma ngimelane lebutho lempi;
30Izindlela zikaNkulunkulu uqobo lwakhe ziphelele;
31Ngoba ngubani uNkulunkulu ngaphandle kukaThixo?*
32NguNkulunkulu ongihlomisa amandla
33Wenza inyawo zami zibe njengezempala;
34Ufundisa izandla zami ukulwa impi;
35Wena uyanginika isihlangu sakho sokunqoba,
36Uqhelisa indlela enginyathela kuyo,
37Ngaxotshana lezitha zami ngazifica;
38Ngazichoboza, zazingeke zisavuka;
39Wangihlomisa ngamandla okulwa impi;
40Wenza izitha zami zafulathela zabaleka,
41Bakhala becela uncedo, kodwa wayengekho owayengabalamulela
42Ngabatshaya bacholeka njengothuli luphetshulwa ngumoya;
43Ungikhulule ekuhlaselweni yilababantu;
44Bathi bengizwa nje ngendaba, bangilalele;
45Bonke badelile;
46Uthixo* uyaphila!
47UnguNkulunkulu ongiphindiselelayo,
48ongisindisayo ezitheni zami.
49Ngakho ngizakudumisa phakathi kwezizwe, Oh Thixo*;
