1 Àkaphumé mkhosi na ehlabathini umntu?Àyinjengemihla yomqeshwa na imihla yakhe?
2 Njengesicaka esibe sizonda umthunzi,Njengomqeshwa olinde umvuzo wakhe?
3 Ndenjenjalo ukwamkeliswa iinyanga ezinenkohliso,Ndabalelwa nobusuku bobubi.
4 Ndakuba ndilele phantsi, ndithi,Ndiya kuvuka nini na? Ukuhlwa kolukile,Ndidikiwe kukuqikaqikeka kude kuse.
5 Inyama yam yambeswe iimpethu namagada omhlaba;Ulùsu lwam lungamaqhula, lubhiqiza.
6 Imihla yam ikhawuleza ngaphezu komkhonjana womluki,*Iphela kungekho themba.
7 Khumbula ukuba bungumoya ubomi bam;Iliso lam aliyi kubuya likubone okulungileyo.
