1 Woba lesihawu kimi, Oh Nkulunkulu, woba lomusa kimi,
ngoba umphefumulo wami uphelela kuwe.
Ngizaphephela ethunzini lamaphiko akho
kuze kudlule incithakalo le.
2 Ngiyakhala kuNkulunkulu oPhezukonke,
kuNkulunkulu ogcwalisa isimiso sakhe ngami.
3 Uyathumela esezulwini angisindise,
abakhwazele labo abafuna ukungilimaza.
UNkulunkulu uyehlisa uthando lwakhe lokwethembeka kwakhe.
4 Ngiphakathi kwezilwane;
ngilala phakathi kwezilo eziqholozayo
abantu abamazinyo abo yimikhonto lemitshoko,
abanlimi zabo zinkemba ezibukhali.
5 Mawuphakanyiswe, Oh Nkulunkulu, ngaphezu kwamazulu;
akuthi inkazimulo yakho ibesemhlabeni wonke.
6 Bangithiya ngamambule ezinyaweni
ngaphela amandla ngokudabuka.
Bangimbela igodi endleleni
kodwa sebewele kulo bona.
7 Inhliziyo yami ibambelele, kayiguquki Oh Nkulunkulu,
inhliziyo yami ibambelele;
ngizahlabela ngenze iculo elimnandi.
8 Vuka, mphefumulo wami!
Vukani, chacho lomqangala!
Ngizayivusa intathakusa.
9 Ngizakudumisa, Oh Thixo, phakathi kwezizwe;
ngizahlabela ngawe phakathi kwabantu.
10 Ngoba lukhulu uthando lwakho, lufika emazulwini;
ukuthembeka kwakho kufinyelela esibhakabhakeni.
11 Mawuphakanyiswe, Oh Nkulunkulu, ngaphezulu kwamazulu;
akuthi inkazimulo yakho ibesemhlabeni wonke.
