1 UNkulunkulu usesihlalweni emhlanganweni omkhulu;

nguye owahlulelayo phakathi kwabo "nkulunkulu":

2 "Koze kube nini livikela ababi na

libonakala lithanda izigangi?

3 Lamlelani ababuthakathaka lezintandane;

melani amalungelo abayanga labahlukuluzwayo.

4 Lamlelani ababuthakathaka labaswelayo;

bephuleni esandleni sababi.

5 Onkulunkulu kabazi lutho, kabazwisisi lutho.

Bayantula emnyameni;

zonke izisekelo zomhlaba zixukuxiwe.

6 Ngathi, ‘Lingo "nkulunkulu";

lonke lingamadodana akhe oPhezukonke.’

7 Kodwa lizakufa lingabantu nje;

lizakuwa njengamanye amakhosi wonke."

8 Phakama, Oh Nkulunkulu, yahlulela umhlaba,

ngoba zonke izizwe ziyilifa lakho.
