1“Zwana lokhu, wena ndlu kaJakhobe,
2lina elibizwa ngokuthi lingabasedolobheni elingcwele,
3Ngamemezela ngezinto zakuqala endulo,
4Ngoba ngangikwazi ukuthi ulenkani,
5Ngakho-ke ngakutsho kudala ngalezizinto,
6Usuzizwile lezizinto; zikhangele zonke.
7Zidalwe khathesi nje, hatshi endulo;
8Kawuzange uzwe kumbe uqedisise;
9Ngenxa yebizo lami, ngiyaluphuzisa ulaka lwami;
10Khangela, ngikulungisile lanxa kunganjengesiliva;
11Ngenxa yami, ngenxa yami, ngenza lokhu.
12“Ngilalela wena Jakhobe,
13Isandla sami sabeka izisekelo zomhlaba,
14Buthanani ndawonye lonke lilalele:
15Mina, mina ngokwami, sengikhulumile;
16Sondelani kimi lizwe lokhu:
17Nanku uThixo* akutshoyo,
18Aluba wawulalele imilayo yami nje,
19Inzalo yakho yayizakuba ngangetshebetshebe,
20Sukani eBhabhiloni,
21Kabomanga ekubaholeni kwakhe bedabula ezinkangala;
