1 Maye kulo idolobho legazi,
2 Ukukhala kwezaswebhu,
3 Ukuhlasela kwabagadi bamabhiza
4 konke ngenxa yenkanuko embi yesifebe,
5 “Ngimelana lawe,” kutsho uThixo uSomandla.
6 Ngizakujikijela ngamanyala,
7 Bonke abakubonayo bazakubalekela bathi,
8 Wena ungcono na kuleThebesi
9 IKhushi leGibhithe kwakungamandla ayo angapheliyo.
10 Kodwa yathunjwa
11 Lawe futhi uzadakwa;
12 Zonke izinqola zakho zinjengezihlahla zemikhiwa
13 Khangela amabutho akho wonke,
14 Donsa amanzi ulungele ukuvimbezela,
15 Khonapho umlilo uzakuqeda;
16 Usulandisile inani labathengisi bakho.
17 Abalindi bakho banjengentethe,
18 Wena nkosi yase-Asiriya, abelusi bakho bayawozela,
19 Akukho okungapholisa amanxeba akho;
