1 Yiphe inkosi ukwahlulela kwakho, Oh Nkulunkulu,

lokulunga kwakho indodana yesikhosini.

2 Uzakwahlulela abantu bakho ngokulunga,

labahluphekayo bakho ngemfanelo.

3 Izintaba zizaletha ukuphumelela ebantwini,

lamaqaqa azaletha izithelo zokulunga.

4 Uzabavikela abahlukuluzwayo phakathi kwabantu

asindise abantwana balabo abaswelayo

afohloze umncindezeli.

5 Uzaphila kokuphela njengelanga,

njengenyanga kuzozonke izizukulwane.

6 Uzakuba njengezulu lisina phezu kotshani obugundiweyo,

njengemikhizo ithelezela umhlabathi.

7 Ngezinsuku zayo abalungileyo bazaphumelela;

ukuphumelela kuzakwanda inyanga ize itshabalale.

8 Uzabusa kusukela elwandle kusiya elwandle,

njalo kusukela eMfuleni kusiya emikhawulweni yomhlaba.

9 Izizwe ezihlala enkangala zizakhothama kuye,

izitha zakhe zizakhotha uthuli.

10 Amakhosi eThashishi lawemazweni akude

azaletha imithelo kuye;

amakhosi aseShebha leSebha

azayilethela izipho.

11 Wonke amakhosi azakhothama kuye

lezizwe zonke zizakhonza kuye.

12 Ngoba uzabakhulula abaswelayo abakhalayo kuye,

abahluphekayo abangelamsizi.

13 Uzabahawukela ababuthakathaka

labaswelayo asindise abaswelayo ekufeni.

14 Uzabahlenga ekuncindezelweni lekuhlukuluzweni,

ngoba igazi labo liligugu kuye.

15 Mayibe lempilo ende!

Mayiphiwe igolide laseShebha.

Abantu kabayikhulekele

bayenzele izibusiso ilanga lonke.

16 Akuthi amabele ande elizweni lonke;

azunguze eziqongweni zamaqaqa.

Izithelo zalo kazikhihlize njengeLebhanoni;

kaligcwale njengotshani egangeni.

17 Sengathi ibizo lakhe lingema njalo laphakade,

kalibe khona lanini nxa lilokhu lisekhona ilanga.

Zonke izizwe zizabusiswa ngaye,

zizakuthi ubusisiwe.

18 Udumo alube kuye uThixo uNkulunkulu, uNkulunkulu ka-Israyeli,

onguye yedwa owenza izinto ezimangalisayo.

19 Udumo kalube sebizweni lakhe elingcwele laphakade;

sengathi umhlaba wonke ungagcwala inkazimulo yakhe.

Ameni njalo Ameni.
