1 Ngiphakamisela amehlo ami ezintabeni

usizo lwami luvela ngaphi na?

2 Usizo lwami luvela kuThixo,

uMenzi wezulu lomhlaba.

3 Kayikuyekela unyawo lwakho lutshelela

yena okulindayo kayikuwozela;

4 ngempela yena olinda u-Israyeli

akayikuwozela, akayikulala.

5 UThixo uyakulinda

uThixo ungumthunzi wakho esandleni sakho sokunene;

6 ilanga kaliyikukutshisa emini noma

loba inyanga ebusuku.

7 UThixo uzakuvikela kuzozonke izingozi

uzalinda impilo yakho;

8 uThixo uzalondoloza ukufika kwakho lokusuka kwakho

manje kuze kube phakade.
