1 Ngilamulela, Oh Thixo, ebantwini ababi;

ngivikela ebantwini bodlakela,

2 abakha amacebo amabi ezinhliziyweni zabo

bahlokomise impi ukusa kwamalanga.

3 Benza izindimi zabo zicije njengezenyoka;

ubuhlungu benhlangwana busezindebeni zabo.

4 Ngivikela, Oh Thixo, ezandleni zababi;

ngiphephisa ebantwini bodlakela

abaceba ukungigwenxa.

5 Abantu abazigqajayo bangifihlele isifu;

sebewanwebile amambule abo

bangithiya lapha lalapha endleleni yami.

6 Oh Thixo, ngithi kuwe, "UnguNkulunkulu wami."

Zwana, ukukhala kwami ngicela umusa.

7 Oh Thixo wobukhosi, mhlengi wami olamandla,

ovikela ikhanda lami ngelanga lempi

8 ungavumeli ababi izifiso zabo Oh Thixo;

ungayekeli amacebo abo ukuthi aphumelele, funa bazigqaje.

9 Akuthi ingqondo zalabo abangihanqileyo

zandelwe luhlupho oludalwe yizindebe zabo.

10 Akuthi amalahle avuthayo abakhithikele;

sengathi bangaphoselwa emlilweni,

emigodini ebhixa udaka, bangavuki futhi.

11 Akuthi abahlebayo bangatholi indawo elizweni;

akuthi umnyama ubahlale izithende abantu bochuku.

12 Ngiyazi ukuthi uThixo ubenzela okulungileyo abayanga,

ubamele abaswelayo.

13 Ngempela abalungileyo bazalidumisa ibizo lakho

labaqotho bazahlala phambi kwakho.
