1 Ngiphendula lapho ngikubiza,

Oh Nkulunkulu wami olungileyo.

Ake ungiphumuze ekuhlulukelweni engikukho;

woba lomusa kimi njalo uzwe umkhuleko wami.

2 Koze kube nini, we bantu,

koze kube nini inkazimulo yami liyenza ihlazo?

Koze kube nini lithanda inkohliso

njalo lidinga onkulunkulu bamanga?

3 Yazini ukuthi uThixo

usezehlukanisele labo abathembekileyo,

njalo uThixo uyezwa nxa ngikhala kuye.

4 Ekuthukutheleni kwenu lingoni;

nxa lisemibhedeni yenu

hlolani inhliziyo zenu, lithule.

5 Nikelani imihlatshelo eqondileyo,

limethembe uThixo.

6 Abanengi bayabuza bathi,

"Kuvele ngubani ongasitshengisa ukulunga na?"

Sengathi ukukhanya kobuso bakho

kungakhazimula phezu kwethu, Oh Thixo.

7 Uyigcwalisile inhliziyo yami ngentokozo enkulu

eyedlula ubunengi bamabele abo lewayini labo elitsha.

8 Ngizalala phansi ngijunywe yibuthongo ngilokuthula,

ngoba wena wedwa,

Oh Thixo, uhlezi ungilondolozile.
