1 Yeka ubuhle bendlu yakho,

Oh Thixo Somandla!

2 Umphefumulo wami uyalangazela, uze ungathi uyaphela,

ngifuna amaguma kaThixo;

inhliziyo yami lenyama yami

kukhalela uNkulunkulu ophilayo.

3 Intaka layo ilizuzile ikhaya,

lenkonjane isidleke sayo,

lapho ingazalela khona abantwana bayo

indawo eduze kwe-alithari lakho,

Oh Thixo Somandla, Nkosi yami loNkulunkulu wami.

4 Babusisiwe labo abahlala endlini yakho;

bahlala bekudumisa kokuphela.

5 Babusisiwe labo abalamandla abo akuwe

asebebeke inhliziyo zabo ekulagiseni kuwe.

6 Bathi nxa bedabula esiGodini seBhaka

basenze sibe yindawo yemithombo;

izulu lekwindla lalo ligcwalise iziziba.

7 Ayakhula amandla abo ande,

ngulowo lalowo aze aqhamuke kuNkulunkulu eZiyoni.

8 Zwana umkhuleko wami, Oh Thixo Nkulunkulu Somandla;

akungilalele, Oh Nkulunkulu kaJakhobe.

9 Khangela isihlangu sethu, Oh Nkulunkulu;

khangela ngomusa kogcotshiweyo wakho.

10 Lungcono usuku olulodwa emagumeni akho

kulensuku eziyinkulungwane kwenye indawo;

kungabangcono ngibe ngumlindimasango endlini kaNkulunkulu

kulokuhlala emathenteni ababi.

11 Ngoba uThixo ulilanga lesihlangu;

uThixo uyapha umusa lodumo;

kancitshani langaluphi ulutho oluhle

kulabo ozinyathelo zabo zingelansolo.

12 Oh Thixo Somandla,

ubusisiwe umuntu owethemba kuwe.
