1 Oh Thixo, usungihlolile
2 Uyakwazi lapho ngihlala lalapho ngiphakama;
3 Uyananzelela ukuphuma kwami lokulala phansi kwami;
4 Ilizwi lingakabi khona elimini lwami
5 Uyangihonqolozela emuva laphambili;
6 Ukwazi okunje kungumangaliso kimi,
7 Ngingaya ngaphi ngisuke eMoyeni wakho na?
8 Ngingakhuphukela emazulwini, ukhona lapho;
9 Aluba ngindiza ngamaphiko okusa,
10 lalapho isandla sakho sizangikhokhela,
11 Nxa ngisithi, “Ngempela ubumnyama buzangifihla
12 lalobo bumnyama kabukuba mnyama kuwe;
13 Ngoba wadala ingaphakathi yobuyimi;
14 Ngiyakudumisa ngokuthi ngabunjwa ngesimanga esesabekayo;
15 Isimo samathambo ami sasingafihlekanga kuwe
16 amehlo akho awubona umzimba wami ungakabi lesimo.
17 Iligugu elinganani kimi imicabango yakho, Oh Nkulunkulu!
18 Aluba ngingayibala
19 Ungasake ubabulale ababi, awu Nkulunkulu!
20 Bakhuluma ngawe beqonde ububi;
21 Kangibazondi yini abakuzondayo na Oh, Thixo,
22 Ngiyabazonda ngenzondo yonke;
23 Ngihlola, Oh Nkulunkulu, uyazi inhliziyo yami;
24 Ake ubone ingabe kulendledlana embi kimi,
