1 Woba lesihawu kimi, Oh Nkulunkulu, woba lomusa kimi,

ngoba umphefumulo wami uphelela kuwe.

Ngizaphephela ethunzini lamaphiko akho

kuze kudlule incithakalo le.

2 Ngiyakhala kuNkulunkulu oPhezukonke,

kuNkulunkulu ogcwalisa isimiso sakhe ngami.

3 Uyathumela esezulwini angisindise,

abakhwazele labo abafuna ukungilimaza.

UNkulunkulu uyehlisa uthando lwakhe lokwethembeka kwakhe.

4 Ngiphakathi kwezilwane;

ngilala phakathi kwezilo eziqholozayo

abantu abamazinyo abo yimikhonto lemitshoko,

abanlimi zabo zinkemba ezibukhali.

5 Mawuphakanyiswe, Oh Nkulunkulu, ngaphezu kwamazulu;

akuthi inkazimulo yakho ibesemhlabeni wonke.

6 Bangithiya ngamambule ezinyaweni

ngaphela amandla ngokudabuka.

Bangimbela igodi endleleni

kodwa sebewele kulo bona.

7 Inhliziyo yami ibambelele, kayiguquki Oh Nkulunkulu,

inhliziyo yami ibambelele;

ngizahlabela ngenze iculo elimnandi.

8 Vuka, mphefumulo wami!

Vukani, chacho lomqangala!

Ngizayivusa intathakusa.

9 Ngizakudumisa, Oh Thixo, phakathi kwezizwe;

ngizahlabela ngawe phakathi kwabantu.

10 Ngoba lukhulu uthando lwakho, lufika emazulwini;

ukuthembeka kwakho kufinyelela esibhakabhakeni.

11 Mawuphakanyiswe, Oh Nkulunkulu, ngaphezulu kwamazulu;

akuthi inkazimulo yakho ibesemhlabeni wonke.
