1Lalela umkhuleko wami, Oh Nkulunkulu,
2ngizwa ungiphendule.
3ngelizwi lesitha sami,
4Inhliziyo yami iyatshiseka ngaphakathi kwami;
5Ukwesaba lokuthuthumela sekungihlasele;
6Ngathi, “He, aluba ngangilamaphiko njengejuba!
7Ngangizabaleka ngiye kude
8ngangizaphanga ngiye enqabeni yami,
9Sanganisa ababi, Oh Thixo,
10Emini lebusuku bayacathama emidulini yalo;
11Imimoya yokubhidliza yiyo esibusa;
12Aluba ngithukwa yisitha
13Kodwa nguwe, umuntu njengami,
14engake ngaba lobudlelwano obukhulu laye
15Yekela ukufa kuzijume izitha zami;
16Kodwa ngiyambiza uNkulunkulu,
17Kusihlwa, ekuseni lemini
18Uyangihlenga ngingakalimali
19UNkulunkulu osesihlalweni sobukhosi lanininini,
20Umkhula wami uyabahlasela abangane bakhe;
21Inkulumo yakhe ibutshelezi njengolaza,
22Yethula inswelo zakho kuThixo*
