1 Umhobe ka-Asafu. UThixo umi ebandleni likaThixo, Ugweba phakathi koothixo; uthi,"
2 Kunini na nigweba ngobugqwetha, Nibanonelela abangendawo? (Phakamisani.)"
3 Thethani ityala losweleyo nelenkedama, Gwebelani olusizana nolihlwempu."
4 Sizani osweleyo nolihlwempu, Bahlanguleni esandleni sabangendawo."
5 Abazi, abaqondi, Bahamba-hamba emnyameni; Ziyashukuma zonke iziseko zehlabathi."
6 Ndithe mna, Ningoothixo, Ningoonyana bOsenyangweni nonke niphela."
7 Noko niya kufa njengomntu, Niwe njengomnye kubathetheli."
8 Khawusuk’ ume, Thixo, gweba ehlabathini; Ngokuba uya kuzidla ilifa wena zonke iintlanga."
