1 Koze kube nini, Oh Thixo? Uzangikhohlwa lanininini na?

Koze kube nini ungifihlela ubuso bakho na?

2 Koze kube nini ngitshukumisana lemicabango yami,

inhliziyo yami ihlale idabukile insuku zonke na?

Koze kube nini isitha sami sitshakala phezu kwami?

3 Ngizwela ungiphendule, Oh Thixo Nkulunkulu wami.

Khanyisela amehlo ami funa ngihle ngilale kokuphela;

4 isitha sami sizakuthi, "Sengimehlule,"

labangizondayo bathokoze nxa ngisiwa.

5 Kodwa ngiyalwethemba uthando lwabo olungapheliyo;

inhliziyo yami iyathokoza ngensindiso yakho.

6 Ngizahlabelela kuThixo,

ngoba ungenzele ukulunga.
