1 Umkhulu uThixo, ufanele ngokuphindiweyo ukudunyiswa,

emzini kaNkulunkulu wethu, intaba yakhe engcwele.

2 Muhle kakhulu ngokuphakama kwakhe,

uyintokozo yomhlaba wonke.

Njengeziqongo zeZafoni injalo intaba iZiyoni,

umuzi weNkosi eNkulu.

3 UNkulunkulu usemithangaleni yawo;

ubonisa ukuthi nguye oyinqaba yawo.

4 Kwathi lapho amakhosi ehlanganisa izimpi zawo,

lapho ehlasela kanyekanye,

5 awubona umuzi lo ethuka

aphaphatheka esetshaywa luvalo.

6 Ahle athuthumela khonapho,

ezwa ubuhlungu obuzwiwa ngowesifazane ehelelwa.

7 Wena wabatshabalalisa njengemikhumbi yaseThashishi

ibhidlizwa ngumoya wempumalanga.

8 Lokho esikuzwileyo

yikho esikubonileyo

emzini kaThixo uSomandla,

emzini kaNkulunkulu wethu:

uNkulunkulu uzawuvikela lanini.

9 Phakathi kwethempeli lakho, Oh Nkulunkulu,

siyacabanga ngothando lwakho olungaphuthiyo.

10 Njengebizo lakho, Oh Nkulunkulu,

udumo lwakho lufika emikhawulweni yomhlaba;

isandla sakho sokunene sigcwele ukulunga.

11 Intaba iZiyoni iyathokoza,

imizi yakoJuda iyathaba

ngezahlulelo zakho.

12 Hambahamba eZiyoni, ibhode,

bala izilindo zayo eziphezulu,

13 nanzelela kuhle imithangala yayo,

hlola izinqaba zayo,

ukuze ukwazi ukulandisela

isizukulwane esizayo.

14 Ngoba uNkulunkulu lo nguNkulunkulu wethu nini lanini;

uzakuba ngumholi wethu lasekupheleni.
