1Zwana okutshiwo nguThixo* kuwe, wena ndlu ka-Israyeli.
2UThixo* uthi:
3Ngoba imikhuba yabantu iyize,
4Bayasicecisa ngesiliva langegolide,
5Njengezinto zokwethusa endimeni yamajodo,
6Kakho ofana lawe, wena Thixo*,
7Ngubani ongeke akwesabe,
8Bonke kabalangqondo njalo bayizithutha,
9Isiliva esikhandiweyo siyalethwa sivela eThashishi
10Kodwa uThixo* unguNkulunkulu oqotho,
11“Batshele lokhu uthi, onkulunkulu laba, abangawenzanga amazulu lomhlaba, bazabhubha emhlabeni langaphansi kwamazulu.”
12Kodwa uNkulunkulu wenza umhlaba ngamandla akhe,
13Lapho evungama, amanzi asemazulwini ayahlokoma,
14Abantu bonke kabalangqondo njalo kabalalwazi,
15Ziyize, izinto zenhlekisa nje,
16Lowo oyiNgxenye kaJakhobe kafani lalaba,
17Qoqani impahla yenu ukuba lisuke elizweni,
18Ngoba uThixo* uthi,
19Maye mina ngenxa yokulimala kwami!
20Ithente lami lidiliziwe,
21Abelusi kabalangqondo
22Lalelani! Umbiko uyeza,
23Ngiyazi, Oh Thixo*, ukuthi ukuphila komuntu akusikho kwakhe,
24Ngiqondise Thixo*, kodwa kube ngokulunga,
