1 Uyaziwa uNkulunkulu koJuda

ibizo lakhe likhulu ko-Israyeli.

2 Ithente lakhe liseSalema,

indawo yakhe yokuhlala iseZiyoni.

3 Khonapho wayephula imitshoko ebenyezelayo,

izihlangu lezinkemba, izikhali zempi.

4 Uyakhazimula ngokukhanya,

ulobukhosi obudlula izintaba ezigcwele izinyamazana.

5 Amadoda alezibindi alele ucaca aphangiwe,

alele ubuthongo bawo bokucina;

kakho loyedwa wamabutho lawo

ongaphakamisa izandla zakhe.

6 Uthi ungakhwaza wena, Oh Nkulunkulu kaJakhobe,

ibhiza lenqola kuhle kulale phansi kuthi zwi.

7 Wena wedwa uyesatshwa.

Ngubani ongema phambi kwakho nxa usuthukuthele?

8 Wathi usezulwini wehlisa ukwahlulela kwakho,

ilizwe lesaba lathula,

9 lapho wena, Oh Nkulunkulu, waphakama ukwahlulela,

ukusindisa bonke abahluphekayo belizwe.

10 Ngempela ulaka lwakho ebantwini lukulethela indumiso,

kuthi bonke abasilileyo elakeni lwakho bathotshiswe.

11 Yenzani izifungo kuThixo uNkulunkulu wenu lizigcwalise;

akuthi wonke amazwe abomakhelwana

alethe izipho kuye Yedwa omele esatshwe.

12 Uyephula ubuqholo bababusi;

uyesatshwa ngamakhosi omhlaba.
