1 Oh Thixo, ngiyakubiza; woza masinyane kimi.

Zwana ilizwi lami nxa ngikubiza.

2 Sengathi umkhuleko wami ungema phambi kwakho njengempepha;

kuthi ukuphakama kwezandla zami kube njengomhlatshelo wakusihlwa.

3 Ngibekela umlindi womlomo wami, Oh Thixo,

qaphela umnyango wezindebe zami.

4 Ungayekeli inhliziyo yami ihugwe ngokubi,

ngingene ezenzweni ezimbi

labantu abayizigangi;

mangingadli izibiliboco zabo.

5 Ake ngitshaywe ngumuntu olungileyo, kungumusa;

kake angikhuze, kungamafutha ekhanda lami.

Ikhanda lami kaliyikukwala.

Ikanti umkhuleko wami uhlezi umelana lezenzo zezigangi.

6 Ababusi bazo bazaphoselwa phansi emaweni,

lababi bazafunda ukuthi amazwi ami ayekhulunywe kuhle.

7 Bazakuthi, "Njengalowo olimayo eqeqebula umhlabathi,

kanjalo amathambo ethu achithiziwe emlonyeni weliba."

8 Kodwa amehlo ami agxile kuwe, Oh Thixo woBukhosi;

kuwe ngiyaphephela unganginikeli ekufeni.

9 Ngivikela emijibileni asebeyithiyele mina,

ezifini ezithiywe yizigangi.

10 Akuthi ababi bawele emambuleni abo,

mina ngidlule kuhle ngiphephile.
