1 Ngasemifuleni yaseBhabhiloni sahlala phansi sakhala
2 Khona lapho ezihlahleni zemidubu
3 ngoba khonapho abathumbi bethu bacela izingoma kithi,
4 Singazihlabela kanjani izingoma zikaThixo
5 Aluba ngikukhohlwa, Oh Jerusalema,
6 Sengathi ulimi lwami lunganamathela elwangeni lomlomo wami
7 Khumbula, Oh Thixo, ama-Edomi akwenzayo
8 Wena Ndodakazi yaseBhabhiloni,
9 Ubusisiwe lowo othatha insane zakho,
