1 Dumisani uThixo.

Ubusisiwe umuntu owesaba uThixo,

othokoza kakhulu ngemilayo yakhe.

2 Abantwabakhe bazaba lamandla elizweni;

isizukulwane soqotho sizabusiswa.

3 Inotho lenzuzo kusendlini yakhe,

lokulunga kwakhe kumi laphakade.

4 Lasebumnyameni kuyavela ukukhanya kwabaqotho,

emuntwini olomusa, olesihawu lolungileyo.

5 Ubuhle buzakwehlela kuye ophanayo loweboleka ekhululekile,

oqhuba zonke izinto zakhe ngemfanelo.

6 Ngeqiniso kayikunyikinyeka;

umuntu olungileyo uzakhunjulwa lanininini.

7 Akayikwesaba imibiko emibi;

inhliziyo yakhe ichumile, yethembele kuThixo.

8 Inhliziyo yakhe ikhululekile, akalakwesaba;

ekucineni uzakhangela izitha zakhe ngokunqoba.

9 Uhlakazele izipho zakhe kubayanga ezindaweni zonke,

ukulunga kwakhe kumi laphakade;

uphondo lwakhe luzaphakanyiselwa phezulu ngenhlonipho.

10 Umuntu omubi uzakubona lokhu afuthelane,

uzagedla amazinyo akhe, acikizeke emzimbeni;

izinkanuko zababi zizaphetha ziyize.
