1 Ngikhulula ezitheni zami, awu Nkulunkulu;

ngivikela kulabo abangivukelayo.

2 Ngikhulula kubenzi bobubi

ungisindise ebantwini abomele igazi.

3 Ake ubone ukuthi bangicathamela njani!

Amadoda esabekayo angakhela amacebo

kungelacala loba isono engisenzileyo, Oh Thixo.

4 Angonanga lutho, kodwa balungele ukungihlasela.

Phakama ungisize; ake ubone umumo engikuwo!

5 Oh Thixo Nkulunkulu Somandla,

Nkulunkulu ka-Israyeli,

ake uzivuse wena ukuze uzijezise zonke izizwe;

ungabazweli isihawu bonke abahlamuki ababi.

6 Bathi bephenduka kusihlwa

babe behwabha njengezinja,

bahwede bebhoda ledolobho.

7 Ake ubone ukuthi baphihlizani emilonyeni yabo:

baphihliza izinkemba ezindebeni zabo,

bese besithi, "Ngubani osizwayo?"

8 Kodwa wena, Oh Thixo, uyabahleka;

uyazigqabhazela zonke lezozizwe.

9 Oh Mandla ami, ngiyakulindela;

wena, Oh Nkulunkulu, uyinqaba yami,

10 Nkulunkulu wami olothando.

UNkulunkulu uzahamba phambi kwami

angenze ngiklolode phezu kwalabo abangingcolisayo.

11 Kodwa ungababulali, Nkosi hawu lethu,

funa abantu bakithi bakhohlwe.

Ngamandla akho

baphumputhekise njalo ubehlule wena Thixo, sihlangu sethu.

12 Ngenxa yezono zemilomo yabo,

ngenxa yamazwi ezindebe zabo,

kababanjwe belokhu bezigqaja benjalo.

Ngenxa yezethuko lamanga abawaqambayo,

13 babhuqe ngolaka, babhuqe bangabi khona futhi.

Lapho-ke kuzakwaziwa lasemikhawulweni yomhlaba

ukuthi uNkulunkulu uyabusa phezu kukaJakhobe.

14 Bathi bephenduka kusihlwa

babe behwabha njengezinja,

bahambahambe becathama edolobheni.

15 Bayazula bedinga ukudla

bahlabe umkhulungwane nxa bengasuthanga.

16 Kodwa mina ngizahlabelela ngihaya amandla akho,

ekuseni ngizahlabelela ngihaya uthando lwakho,

ngoba wena uyinqaba yami,

isiphephelo sami ezikhathini zokuhlupheka.

17 Oh wena Mandla ami, ngihlabelela indumiso kuwe;

wena, Oh Nkulunkulu uyinqaba yami,

Nkulunkulu wami olothando.
