1Kungani ususilahlile kokuphela na, awu Nkulunkulu?
2Khumbula abantu owabathengayo ekadeni,
3Phenduka ungene emanxiweni aphakade la,
4Izitha zakho zazibhonga endaweni owawuhlangana lathi kuyo;
5Zenza njengabantu abaphakamise amahloka
6Zafohloza konke okubaziweyo
7Zatshisa indlu yakho engcwele yaphela nya;
8Zathi ngezinhliziyo zazo, “Sizababhuqa baphele nya!”
9Kasisaboniswa mimangaliso; kakuselabuphrofethi,
10Koze kube nini isitha sikuklolodela na, awu Nkulunkulu?
11Kungani ufinyeza isandla sakho sokunene na?
12Kodwa wena Nkulunkulu uyiNkosi yami kwasekadeni;
13Kwakunguwe owaqhekeza ulwandle ngamandla akho;
14Kwakunguwe owachoboza amakhanda kaLeviyathani
15Kwakunguwe owavula imithombo lemifula;
16Imini ngeyakho, ngobakho njalo lobusuku;
17Kwakunguwe owamisa imingcele yonke yomhlaba;
18Khumbula ukuthi isitha besikuklolodela, Thixo*,
19Ungaqhubeli umphefumulo wejuba lakho ezinyamazaneni;
20Nanzelela isivumelwano sakho,
21Ungayekeli abancindezelweyo babuyele beyangekile;
22Phakama, awu Nkulunkulu, vikela okungokwakho;
