1 Lowo ohlala ekusithekeni koPhezukonke

uzaphumula emthunzini kaSomandla.

2 Ngizakuthi kuThixo, "Uyisiphephelo sami lenqaba yami,

uNkulunkulu wami, engithemba kuye."

3 Ngempela uzakuphephisa

emjibileni womthiyi

lasesifeni esibi esibulalayo.

4 Uzakusibekela ngezinsiba zakhe,

uzuze isiphephelo ngaphansi kwamaphiko akhe;

ukuthembeka kwakhe kuzakuba yisihlangu sakho lenqaba yakho.

5 Awuyikwesaba umnyama wobusuku,

loba umtshoko ontweza emini,

6 kumbe ingozi ehahabela emnyameni,

kumbe umkhuhlane obhubhisayo emini enkulu.

7 Abazinkulungwane bangawa eceleni lakho;

itshumi lezinkulungwane esandleni sakho sokunene,

kodwa kakusoze kusondele kuwe.

8 Uzaphosa nje amehlo akho

ubukele ubone ukujeziswa kwababi.

9 Ungenza oPhezukonke abe likhaya lakho

yena uThixo oyisiphephelo sami

10 lapho-ke akulangozi engakuwela,

akulamonakalo ozasondela ethenteni lakho.

11 Ngoba uzayala izingilosi zakhe ngawe

zikulinde kuzozonke izindlela zakho;

12 zizakuphakamisa ezandleni zazo,

ukuze ungakhubeki elitsheni.

13 Uzanyathela isilwane lephimpi;

uzasigxoba isilwane esikhulu lenyoka.

14 "Ngoba uyangithanda," kutsho uThixo, "ngizamkhulula;

ngizamvikela, ngoba uyalinaka ibizo lami.

15 Uzangibiza, ngimphendule;

ngizakuba laye ekuhluphekeni,

ngizamkhulula ngimenzele udumo.

16 Ngizamsuthisa ngempilo ende

ngimtshengise insindiso yami."
