1 Zwana okutshiwo nguThixo kuwe, wena ndlu ka-Israyeli.
2 UThixo uthi:
3 Ngoba imikhuba yabantu iyize,
4 Bayasicecisa ngesiliva langegolide,
5 Njengezinto zokwethusa endimeni yamajodo,
6 Kakho ofana lawe, wena Thixo,
7 Ngubani ongeke akwesabe,
8 Bonke kabalangqondo njalo bayizithutha,
9 Isiliva esikhandiweyo siyalethwa sivela eThashishi
10 Kodwa uThixo unguNkulunkulu oqotho,
11 “Batshele lokhu uthi, onkulunkulu laba, abangawenzanga amazulu lomhlaba, bazabhubha emhlabeni langaphansi kwamazulu.”
12 Kodwa uNkulunkulu wenza umhlaba ngamandla akhe,
13 Lapho evungama, amanzi asemazulwini ayahlokoma,
14 Abantu bonke kabalangqondo njalo kabalalwazi,
15 Ziyize, izinto zenhlekisa nje,
16 Lowo oyiNgxenye kaJakhobe kafani lalaba,
17 Qoqani impahla yenu ukuba lisuke elizweni,
18 Ngoba uThixo uthi,
19 Maye mina ngenxa yokulimala kwami!
20 Ithente lami lidiliziwe,
21 Abelusi kabalangqondo
22 Lalelani! Umbiko uyeza,
23 Ngiyazi, Oh Thixo, ukuthi ukuphila komuntu akusikho kwakhe,
24 Ngiqondise Thixo, kodwa kube ngokulunga,
25 Yehlisela ulaka lwakho phezu kwezizwe
