1 Makabongwe uYehova, uliwa lam,Ulofundisa izandla zam ukulwa,Iminwe yam imfazwe.
2 Unceba yam, umboniselo yam,Ungxonde yam, umsindisi wam, mna lo;Ungweletshetshe yam, undizímela ngaye;Ulonyathelela abantu bam phantsi kwam.
3 Yehova, úyintoni na umntu, le nto umaziyo?Unyana womfo, le nto umnyamekelayo?
4 Umntu lo ufana nomphunga,Imihla yakhe injengethunzi elidlulayo.
5 Yehova, thoba amazulu akho, uhle;Phatha ezintabeni, ziqhume.
6 Banekisa imibane, uziphangalalise;Thuma iintolo zakho, uziduba-dube.
7 Thuma izandla zakho, zivele phezulu;Ndírhole, ndíhlangule emanzini amakhulu,Esandleni soonyana bolunye uhlanga;
8 Abamlomo uthetha inkohlakalo,Abasandla sokunene sisesokunene sobuxoki.
9 Thixo, ndokuvumela ingoma entsha,Ndikubethele umrhubhe ontambo zilishumi;
10 Ulonika ookumkani usindiso,Ulohlangula uDavide umkhonzi wakhe ekreleni elinobubi.
11 Ndírhole, ndíhlangule esandleni soonyana bolunye uhlanga,Abamlomo uthetha inkohlakalo,Abasandla sokunene sisesokunene sobuxoki;
12 Baze oonyana bethu babe njengezityalo ezikhulileyo ebutsheni babo;Iintomni zethu zibe njengeembombo ezivathisiweyo ngeemfakamfele ngokokwakhiwa kwebhotwe;
13 Oovimba bethu bazale, bavelise iintlobo ngeentlobo;Iigusha zethu zizale amawaka, zande ngezigidi emaphandleni ethu;
14 Iinkomo zethu zizale,Kungabikho kungenelwa, kungabikho kuthinjwa,Kungabikho kuhlahlamba ezitratweni zethu.
15 Hayi, uyolo lwabantu ekunjalo kubo!Hayi, uyolo lwabantu abaThixo unguYehova!
