1 Nyana wam, ukuba uthe wammela ummelwane wakho,Wabambana nomnye ngesandla:
2 Urhintyélwe ngentetho yomlomo wakho,Uthiwé hlasi ngentetho yomlomo wakho.
3 Yenza le nto ngoku, nyana wam, uzihlangule;Kuba uzifaké esandleni sommelwane wakho;Yiya, ziwise phantsi, umzame ummelwane wakho.
4 Musa ukuwanika ubuthongo amehlo akho,Ungaziniki kozela iinkophe zakho;
5 Zihlangule esandleni njengebhadi,Njengentaka esandleni somthiyeli.
6 Yiya embovaneni, vilandini;Khangela iindlela zayo, ulumke:
7 Yona ithi, ingenamphathi,Namongameli, namlawuli,
