1 UThixo uyabusa, umhlaba kawuthokoze;

akuthi amakhumbi akude ajabule.

2 Amayezi lomnyama omkhulu kumsibekele;

ukulunga lokwahlulela kuhle kuyisisekelo sesihlalo Sakhe sobukhosi.

3 Umlilo uhamba phambi Kwakhe

uzihangule izitha zakhe inxa zonke.

4 Umbane wakhe ukhanyisa umhlaba;

umhlaba ukubone lokho uthuthumele.

5 Izintaba zincibilika njengengcino phambi kukaThixo,

phambi kweNkosi yomhlaba wonke.

6 Amazulu amemezela ukulunga kwayo,

labantu bonke bayayibona inkazimulo yayo.

7 Bonke abakhonza izifanekiso bathelwa ihlazo,

labo abazikhukhumeza ngezithombe

mkhonzeni, lonke lina bonkulunkulu!

8 IZiyoni iyezwa ithokoze

lemizi yakoJuda iyajabula

ngenxa yokwahlulela Kwakho, Oh Thixo.

9 Ngoba wena, Oh Thixo ungoPhezukonke kuwo wonke umhlaba;

uphakeme ngaphezulu kakhulu kwabonkulunkulu bonke.

10 Akuthi bonke abamthandayo, uThixo, bazonde okubi,

ngoba uyazilinda impilo zabathembekileyo bakhe

abakhulule esandleni sababi.

11 Ukukhanya kuyehliselwa kwabalungileyo

lentokozo kwabaqotho enhliziyweni.

12 Thokozani kuThixo lina elilungileyo,

lidumise ibizo lakhe elingcwele.
