1“Kungani uSomandla engabeki izikhathi zokwahlulela na?
2Abantu bayayiguqula imingcele ngokususa izikhonkwane;
3Bayathatha bahambe lobabhemi wentandane,
4Abaswelayo bayabagudlula endleleni
5Njengabobabhemi beganga enkangala,
6Babutha ukudla kwenkomo emasimini
7Ngoba bengelazigqoko balala beze ubusuku bonke;
8Bagxonxwa lizulu lezintabeni
9Umntwana oyintandane uhluthunwa ebeleni;
10Ngoba bengelazigqoko bahamba nqunu;
11Bahluza ama-oliva emigelweni;
12Ukububula kwabafayo kuzwakala kuphuma edolobheni,
13Bakhona labo abahlamukela ukukhanya,
14Nxa ukukhanya kwemini sekuhambile
15Ilihlo lesiphingi lilindela ukuhlwa;
16Ebumnyameni abantu bayagqekeza izindlu,
17Bonke labo ubumnyama obukhulu buyikusa kubo;
18Ikanti baligwebu phezu kwamanzi;
19Njengalokhu ukutshisa lokoma kuhangula ungqwaqwane oncibilikayo,
20Isibeletho siyabakhohlwa,
21Bancindezela owesifazane oyinyumba longelamntwana,
22Kodwa uNkulunkulu uyazihudulela kude izikhulu ngamandla akhe.
23Angabayekela bahlale besizwa bevikelekile,
24Okwesikhatshana nje balodumo, baphinde banyamalale;
