Ihubo 82
Ihubo lika-Asafi
UNkulunkulu usesihlalweni emhlanganweni omkhulu;
nguye owahlulelayo phakathi kwabo “nkulunkulu”:
 
“Koze kube nini livikela ababi na
libonakala lithanda izigangi?
Lamlelani ababuthakathaka lezintandane;
melani amalungelo abayanga labahlukuluzwayo.
Lamlelani ababuthakathaka labaswelayo;
bephuleni esandleni sababi.
 
Onkulunkulu kabazi lutho, kabazwisisi lutho.
Bayantula emnyameni;
zonke izisekelo zomhlaba zixukuxiwe.
 
Ngathi, ‘Lingo “nkulunkulu”;
lonke lingamadodana akhe oPhezukonke.’
Kodwa lizakufa lingabantu nje;
lizakuwa njengamanye amakhosi wonke.”
 
Phakama, Oh Nkulunkulu, yahlulela umhlaba,
ngoba zonke izizwe ziyilifa lakho.
