1 Lina babusi, kambe likhuluma okuqondileyo na?

Lahlulela ngobuqotho yini ebantwini?

2 Hatshi, ezinhliziyweni zenu lakha amacebo okubusa kubi,

lezandla zenu zijezisa ngochuku emhlabeni.

3 Kwasekuzalweni ababi bayaphumputheka;

kwasekuzalweni baxhwalile, beqamba amanga.

4 Itshefu yabo ifana letshefu yenyoka,

ifana leyebululu elingezwa umsindo,

5 elingananzi lomculo wombumbi,

loba lowombumbi eligabazi elinganani.

6 Khumula amazinyo emilonyeni yazo, awu Nkulunkulu;

zikhumule, Oh Thixo, izingavula zezilwane!

7 Yekela zinyamalale njengamanzi agelezayo;

zithi lapho zinweba idandili,

kayithundubale imitshoko yazo.

8 Njengomnenke uncibilika uphele ulokhu uhamba,

njengomphunzo, kabangaliboni ilanga.

9 Imbiza zakho zingakaqalisi ukutshisa

ngomlilo wenkuni zameva

loba ngezimanzi kumbe ngezomileyo

ababi bazakhukhulelwa khatshana.

10 Abalungileyo bazajabula nxa sebephindiselelwa,

nxa sebegeza inyawo zabo egazini lababi.

11 Lapho-ke abantu bazakuthi,

"Ngempela abalungileyo bajinge bathole umvuzo;

ngempela ukhona uNkulunkulu owahlulela umhlaba."
