1 Khumbula, Jehova, esehlelwe yikho;bheka, ubone ihlazo lethu.
2 Ifa lethu seliphendulelwe abafokazi,nezindlu zethu kwabezizwe.
3 Siyizintandane, asinababa;omame banjengabafelokazi.
4 Amanzi ethu siyawaphuza ngemali,izinkuni zethu ziza ngentengo.
5 Abasixoshayo basezintayeni zethu;sikhathele, asinakuphumula.
6 Sinike isandla sethu kulo iGibithenakulo i-Asiriya ukuba sisuthe isinkwa.
7 Obaba bona abasekho;thina sithwala ububi babo.
8 Izigqila ziyasibusa;akakho osikhulula esandleni sabo.
9 Sithola ukudla kwethu ngokuzidela amathambongenxa yenkemba yasehlane.
10 Isikhumba sethu siyasha njengezikongokushisa kwendlala.
11 Balala nabesifazane eSiyoni,izintombi zasemizini yakwaJuda.
12 Izikhulu zaphanyekwa ngezandla zabo;ubuso babadala ababuhloniphanga.
13 Izinsizwa zathwala amatshe okugaya,abantwana bakhubeka phansi kwezinkuni.
14 Abadala baphelile esangweni,nezinsizwa ekuhlabeleleni kwazo.
15 Intokozo yenhliziyo yethu iphelile;ukusina kwethu kuphenduke ukulila.
16 Umqhele uwile ekhanda lethu.Maye kithina, ngokuba sonile!
17 Ngalokho inhliziyo yethu idangele;ngalezi zinto amehlo ethu afiphele,
18 ngenxa yentaba yaseSiyoni echithekile,zize zihambe kuyo izimpungushe.
19 Wena Jehova umi phakade;isihlalo sakho sobukhosisikhona ezizukulwaneni ngezizukulwane.
20 Usikhohlelwani kuze kube phakade,usishiye izinsuku eziningi, na?
21 Sibuyisele kuwe Jehova, siyakubuya;yenza izinsuku zethu zibe zintsha njengasendulo,
22 ngokuba usilahlile nokusilahla,wasithukuthelela kakhulu.
