1 Ngizahlabelela ngothando lwakho lokwahlulela kwakho okuhle;

kuwe, Oh Thixo, ngizahlabelela indumiso.

2 Ngizananzelela ukuthi ngiphile impilo engasolekiyo

uzakuza nini kimi na?

Ngizahamba endlini

yami ngenhliziyo engasolekiyo.

3 Phambi kwamehlo ami

angiyikubeka lutho olungcolileyo.

Izenzo zabantu abangakholwayo ngiyazizonda;

kazizukunginamathela.

4 Abantu abalenhliziyo exhwalileyo bazakuba khatshana lami;

angiyikuhambelana lobubi.

5 Lowo ochothoza umakhelwane wakhe ngasese,

lowo ngizamthulisa;

olamehlo asesiphundu lenhliziyo ezigqajayo,

lowo kangilasikhathi laye.

6 Amehlo ami azakuba kwabathembekileyo elizweni,

ukuthi bahlale lami;

lowo okuhamba kwakhe kakulansolo

uzangisebenzela ekhonza kimi.

7 Kakho othanda ukwenza inkohliso

ozahlala endlini yami;

kakho okhuluma amanga

ozakuma phambi kwami.

8 Zonke insuku ekuseni ngizabathulisa

bonke ababi phakathi kwelizwe;

ngizamlahla phansi wonke umuntu oyisigangi

edolobheni likaThixo.
