1 Ngamlindela ngesineke uThixo;

waphendukela ngakimi wezwa ukukhala kwami.

2 Wangenyula emgodini otshonayo,

wangikhupha edakeni lexhaphozini;

wamisa inyawo zami edwaleni,

wangipha indawo eqinileyo yokuma.

3 Wangipha ingoma entsha emlonyeni wami,

ihubo lokudumisa kuNkulunkulu wethu.

Abanengi bazabona besabe

babeke ithemba labo kuThixo.

4 Ubusisiwe umuntu

owenza uThixo abe lithemba lakhe,

ongathembi abazigqajayo,

lalabo abaqambukela kubonkulunkulu bamanga.

5 Zinengi, Thixo, Nkulunkulu wami,

izimangaliso ozenzileyo.

Izinto owasilungiselela zona

kakho ongazibala kuwe;

aluba bengingakhuluma

loba ngilandise ngazo,

zingaba zinengi ngokweqileyo ukuzibalisa.

6 Kawufisanga imihlatshelo leminikelo

kodwa indlebe zami uzikleklile;

iminikelo yokutshiswa leminikelo yesono kawuzange uyidinge.

7 Lapho-ke ngasengisithi, "Ngilapha, sengifikile

kulotshiwe ngami emqulwini.

8 Ngiyakunxwanela ukwenza intando yakho, Oh Nkulunkulu wami;

umthetho wakho usenhliziyweni yami."

9 Ngiyafakaza ngokulunga ngisemhlanganweni omkhulu;

angizivali izindebe zami, njengoba usazi, Oh Thixo.

10 Ukulunga kwakho kangikufihli enhliziyweni yami;

ngikhuluma ngokuthembeka kwakho lokusindisa kwakho.

Kangilufihli uthando lwakho leqiniso lakho

emhlanganweni omkhulu.

11 Ungasigodli isihawu sakho kimi, Oh Thixo;

sengathi uthando lwakho leqiniso lakho kungahlala kungivikela.

12 Phela inhlupheko ezingelakubalwa zingihanqile;

izono zami sezingificile, kangisaboni.

Zinengi kulenwele zekhanda lami,

njalo inhliziyo yami isiphela amandla.

13 Jabula, awu Thixo, ungisindise;

awu Thixo, woza masinyane uzongisiza.

14 Sengathi bonke abafuna ukuqeda impilo yami

bangayangiswa basanganiswe;

sengathi bonke abafisa ukungidiliza

bangabuyiselwa emuva beyangekile.

15 Sengathi bonke abathi kimi, "Ehe, Ehe!"

banganengwa lihlazo labo.

16 Kodwa akuthi bonke abakudingayo

bathokoze bajabule kuwe;

akuthi labo abathanda insindiso yakho bahlale besithi,

"UThixo kadunyiswe!"

17 Kodwa mina ngiyahlupheka, ngiyaswela;

sengathi iNkosi ingangikhumbula.

Ilusizo lwami lomkhululi wami;

Oh Nkulunkulu wami, ungalibali.
