Kumqondisi wokuhlabela. Itshuni ethi, “Ungabhidlizi.” ElikaDavida. Imikithamu. Ngesikhathi ebalekele uSawuli wacatsha ebhalwini.
Woba lesihawu kimi, Oh Nkulunkulu, woba lomusa kimi,
ngoba umphefumulo wami uphelela kuwe.
Ngizaphephela ethunzini lamaphiko akho
kuze kudlule incithakalo le.
 
Ngiyakhala kuNkulunkulu oPhezukonke,
kuNkulunkulu ogcwalisa isimiso sakhe ngami.
Uyathumela esezulwini angisindise,
abakhwazele labo abafuna ukungilimaza.
UNkulunkulu uyehlisa uthando lwakhe lokwethembeka kwakhe.
 
Ngiphakathi kwezilwane;
ngilala phakathi kwezilo eziqholozayo
abantu abamazinyo abo yimikhonto lemitshoko,
abanlimi zabo zinkemba ezibukhali.
 
Mawuphakanyiswe, Oh Nkulunkulu, ngaphezu kwamazulu;
akuthi inkazimulo yakho ibesemhlabeni wonke.
 
Bangithiya ngamambule ezinyaweni
ngaphela amandla ngokudabuka.
Bangimbela igodi endleleni
kodwa sebewele kulo bona.
 
Inhliziyo yami ibambelele, kayiguquki Oh Nkulunkulu,
inhliziyo yami ibambelele;
ngizahlabela ngenze iculo elimnandi.
Vuka, mphefumulo wami!
Vukani, chacho lomqangala!
Ngizayivusa intathakusa.
 
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.
