1 Zwana ukukhala kwami, Oh Nkulunkulu;

lalela umkhuleko wami.

2 Ngisemkhawulweni womhlaba ngiyakubiza,

ngiyabiza lapho inhliziyo yami isiphela amandla;

ngikhokhelela edwaleni eliphakeme kulami.

3 Ngoba ube uyisiphephelo sami,

inqaba eqinileyo evikela esitheni.

4 Ngiyalangazelela ukuhlala ethenteni lakho laphakade

ngizifihle emthunzini wamaphiko akho.

5 Phela usuzizwile izifungo zami, Oh Nkulunkulu;

usungiphile ilifa lalabo abalesabayo ibizo lakho.

6 Yandisa insuku zempilo yenkosi,

iminyaka yayo okwezizukulwane ezinengi.

7 Sengathi ingaba sesihlalweni iphambi kukaNkulunkulu nini lanini;

wabele uthando Lwakho lokuthembeka Kwakho kuyivikele.

8 Lapho-ke ngizahlala ngihlabelela indumiso ebizweni Lakho

ngigcwalise izifungo zami insuku ngensuku.
