1 Siza Thixo, ngoba kabasekho abakholwayo;

abathembekileyo sebenyamalele kabasekho ebantwini.

2 Bonke baqamba amanga kubomakhelwane babo;

izindebe zabo eziyengayo

zihlezi zikhuluma inkohliso esezinhliziyweni zabo.

3 Sengathi uThixo angaziquma zonke izindebe ezikhohlisayo

kanye laluphi ulimi oluzikhukhumezayo

4 oluthi, "Sizanqoba ngendimi zethu;

izindebe zethu zizasilwela

ngubani oyinkosi yethu na?"

5 "Ngenxa yokuncindezelwa kwabayanga lokububula kwabaswelayo,

sengizavuka khathesi," kutsho uThixo.

"Ngizabavikela kulabo ababachukuluzayo."

6 Njalo amazwi kaThixo amsulwa,

njengesiliva esicengwe esithandweni somlilo esebumba,

njengegolide elihlanjululwe kasikhombisa.

7 Oh Thixo, uzahlala usiphephisile

njalo usivikele ebantwini ababi nini lanini.

8 Ababi bayaklamasa santando

nxa bebona izinto ezilihlazo zidunyiswa ngabantu.
