1 Inhliziyo yami iyagubhazela ngendaba enkulu
nxa ngivuma inkondlo yami ngiyihayela inkosi;
ulimi lwami lusiba lomlobi ololwazi.
2 Uyilikhwa lamakhwa emadodeni wonke
lezindebe zakho ziconjwe kuhle ngobunono,
njengalokhu uNkulunkulu
ekubusisile lanininini.
3 Hloma inkemba yakho okhalweni, wena omkhulu;
zembathise ngokukhazimula langobukhosi.
4 Usebukhosini bakho khwela enqoleni ulokunqoba
umele iqiniso lokuzithoba lokulunga;
akuthi isandla sakho sokunene senze izimanga.
5 Akuthi imitshoko yakho ecijileyo icibe inhliziyo zezitha zenkosi;
akuthi izizwe ziwe ngaphansi kwezinyawo zakho.
6 Isihlalo sakho sobukhosi,
Oh Nkulunkulu, sizakuma nini lanini;
intonga yokwahlulela okulungileyo
izakuba yintonga yombuso wakho.
7 Uyakuthanda ukulunga njalo uyabuzonda ububi;
ngakho uNkulunkulu, uNkulunkulu wakho
usekubeke ngaphezu kwabakhula bakho
ngokukugcoba ngamafutha entokozo.
8 Zonke izembatho zakho ziqholiwe ngemure,
langenhlaba langekhasiya;
ezigodlweni eziceciswe ngempondo zendlovu kuqhamuka
inhlokomo yeziginci ekuthokozisayo.
9 Amadodakazi amakhosi akhona
kanye labanye abesifazane abahloniphekayo;
kwesokunene sakho ngumlobokazi wesikhosini
oceciswe ngegolide lase-Ofiri.
10 Lalela, ndodakazi, nanzelela uvule indlebe;
khohlwa abakini, lendlu yakwenu.
11 Inkosi iyaphelelwa ngobuhle bakho;
yihloniphe, ngoba iyinkosi yakho.
12 Indodakazi yaseThire izakuza lesipho,
amadoda anothileyo azazincengela kuwe.
13 Ngaphakathi exhibeni layo
inkosazana yibucwazicwazi;
isembatho sayo sicecisiwe ngegolide.
14 Isiwa enkosini yembethe izivunulo ezelukiweyo;
abakhaphi bayo bayayilandela
balethwe kuwe.
15 Bangeniswa lapho ngentokozo lenjabulo;
bangena esigodlweni senkosi.
16 Amadodana enu azathatha isikhundla saboyihlo;
lizawenza abe ngamakhosana elizweni lonke.
17 Ibizo lakho ngizalenza
likhunjulwe kokuphela yizizukulwane zonke;
yikho-ke izizwe zizakudumisa nini lanini.
